Reclaiming Calm Leadership in the Digital World

July 03, 2025 • Jenny Brown • Season 3 • Episode 3

In this timely episode, facilitator Vicki Wilkins interviews Dr. Jenny Brown — founder of the Parent Hope Project — to explore how parents and educators can reclaim calm, confident leadership amidst the chaos of the digital age.

Rather than focusing on fear-based data that leaves parents feeling overwhelmed or caught in rigid control efforts, Dr. Brown offers a refreshing perspective: real influence starts with self-management, not child-management. Through insights and practical examples from Differentiation-Based Parenting, she guides listeners in considering a shift from reactivity to presence—learning how to set digital boundaries rooted in values, not panic.

Listeners will learn:

Why awareness, reality, and agency build clarity more than fear.
How to act from the “I position” to model emotional maturity.
Why starting where your family actually is creates more meaningful change.
How to reclaim leadership even if you feel "late to the game."
The critical role of consistency, curiosity, and connection—at home and in classrooms.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode offers grounded wisdom for nurturing healthier digital habits through relationship-first leadership.
