Screen Time, Solo Parenting, and Why Family Movie Night Needs a Reset

Screen Time, Solo Parenting, and Why Family Movie Night Needs a Reset

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Jordan is running on no sleep, and Yassi just got back from a yoga retreat, and somehow they're both here. And somewhat present. This episode gets real fast. From using gaming as a decompression tool vs whatever breathwork is, Jordan and Yassi open up an important conversation about solo parenting and the parts of digital family life nobody talks about. If you're managing screens, schedules, and kids without a full support system, this one's for you. Plus- what a scene from Apple TV's Platonic taught them about family screen time, why everyone sitting on the sofa with headphones watching different things is not actually movie night, and the simple trick Jordan uses so her kids never fight over what to watch. Real, relatable, and zero judgment. This is Moms Off Mute. New episodes every Wednesday. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Surprise! Baby Number Two and the Reality of Twice a Digital Parent and Why Your Kids Need a Girls' Girl

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Yassi has an announcement: Baby number two is on the way! In this episode, Jordan and Yassi get into what it really means to become a digital parent for the second time around. Does your archetype change? Can a five-year-old become a junior mentor to his little brother? And how do you set screen time boundaries when you're juggling two kids at completely different developmental stages? From Smart Speakers going off at 4 am to noise-canceling earbuds for overstimulated moms, the conversation is as real and relatable as ever. Also, what Black Mirror has to do with Instagram, why happiness is a learned behavior, and the case for always telling your friend she has a run in her stockings.

Flooded Streets, Hard News, and Why Your Digital Village Matters

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Jordan and Yassi finally tell the story of how they met, and it involves a study abroad trip to the Philippines, monsoon floods up to their thighs, a physical map, and absolutely no pre-trip Googling. From navigating a foreign country without smartphones to reconnecting years later through Instagram mom content and postpartum honesty, this one gets real fast. Yassi opens up about her health crisis in 2023, how her doctors told her to "calm down" and how reaching out to her digital community became a lifeline when the medical system let her down. Plus: why Jordan finally booked her own doctor's appointment, the benefits and limits of social media when you're scared and searching for answers, and what it really means to find your village — online and off.

What Kind of Digital Parent Are You? Quiz Results + The Grandparent Social Media Conversation

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Our two moms actually took the digital parenting quiz, and the results are very on-brand. In our 3rd episode, Jordan and Yassi reveal their digital parent archetypes (spoiler: one of them is a Firewall and the other is a Mentor, no surprises there), and break down what that actually looks like in real life with their kids. Then things get real, and they dive into story time: a father-in-law posting grandkids on social media without asking, a school Instagram page with a child's face all over it, and the bigger questions underneath it all - who gets to decide when and how your child shows up online? How do you handle the grandparent social media conversation ideally, without ruffling feathers?

What Kind of Digital Parent Are You?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Jordan and Yassi are back, and the feedback from listeners was loud and clear (yes, it's  "snacks" people!). In Episode 3, the moms get real about digital parenting privilege, screen time guilt, and the moments that make you rethink everything, like a chance encounter at a nail salon that put it all into perspective. Then they dive into FOSI's Five Digital Parenting Archetypes quiz: are you a Firewall, a Mentor, a Systems Designer, an Explorer, or a Co-Pilot? The duo works through the questions live, disagrees on almost every answer, of course, and promises to reveal their final results next episode. Also, this episode: the podcast officially has a name and a clever solution for when guests come to visit.
