Several years while on vacation, I read Daring Greatly by Brene’ Brown and it changed my life. I connected with so many of the things she was writing about – perfection, shame, vulnerability - and found myself using the book as a roadmap for “showing up and being seen” in my life.

Up by 5 a.m. prepping bottles, packing school lunches on your own, doing a load of laundry, responding to the teacher’s email, placing diaper bags in the car so you do not have to make three different trips because you don’t have an extra hand to help ,does any of this sound familiar? If it does, I imagine, “ you”, my lovely reader, are living the life of a single mother. It is by far the hardest, unpaid job that a woman will ever have, while it has its rewards, it is still very challenging.

We are surrounded by media on a daily basis. We watch TV, stream music, browse Facebook, Twitter, or any number of other social media platforms — sometimes without even realizing how much time we spend doing it. This is true for children and adolescents, too. Today’s children and teens spend an average of seven hours a day on entertainment media. Social media is especially popular among adolescents.
