In this episode, Global News Anchor and proud boy-mom Lisa Dutton joins us to share her parenting journey with her 11 and 16-year-old sons. We dive into the realities of raising kids in a digital age — covering everything from when to know your child is ready for a phone, to the risks of social media, an online presence and SO much more.

Lisa gets real about screen time, video games, and how to have the hard conversations with kids. She shares the underrated power of simply saying “no”, and how she keeps her connection strong with her family amid the chaos of work and life.

We absolutely adored this conversation and walked away with so many practical tips on being a more intentional, present parent — and we hope you do too.
