Summer’s here—and that means more sunshine, more free time… and a lot more screen time.

In this episode, Nicki Petrossi sits down with Titania Jordan (of Bark Technologies) to talk about the ups, downs, and everything-in-between of parenting through summer break. They swap stories, explore why boredom is actually a gift, and share practical ways to help kids unplug, get outside, and build independence.

From setting healthy tech boundaries to using kid-friendly tools that actually work, this is a real talk on how to survive—and enjoy—summer with your kids (without letting devices take over).
