Caught up in the whirlwind of my husband's award ceremony, I found myself fumbling with a camera rather than soaking in his moment of glory. It was a wake-up call, underscoring a modern predicament: our incessant need to capture everything might just be causing us to miss the point of true experience. This episode is a heart-to-heart on the delicate balance between preserving memories and actually living them, especially poignant when it comes to parenting. I share my journey towards cherishing unrecorded moments with my family, and I promise, it's a conversation that will leave you rethinking the role of technology in your life.

Through laughter and reflection, we tackle a modern challenge together, inviting you to join us in the journey to become more present and connected.
