BORN TO BE ALL OF ME: Kids and Technology ... When We Know Better, We Do Better with Dr. Carrie Mackensen
Welcome back to Born To Be All Of Me, The Podcast ... a show dedicated to learning, becoming and embodying all of who we were born to be.
Today's episode with the incredible Dr. Carrie Mackensen is all about how to best support our children to become all of who they were born to be by making informed decisions around interactive screen time and social media and educating ourselves on the negative impacts they are having on our kids young developing brains.
In a world with a barrage of incoming content, today’s youth are not free to be all of themselves—they don't even get a chance to find out who they are. These interactive devices hack their developing brains, steal their attention, put focus on getting likes over finding out what they like, and in the process degrade their mental health.
Dr. Carrie Mackensen, affectionately called Dr. Carrie by her clients, holds a PhD in Individual, Family, and Child Psychology.
She has been working in the field of psychology for over 25 years in various settings from K-12 schools, as an attending Psychologist at Cedars Sinai Hospital, as the Clinical Director of two high-end residential treatment programs, one for Addiction and another for Eating Disorders, and she ran a private practice in Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach, CA.
She is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist turned Parent Coach because, as she explains, "Kids don't come with operating manuals!"
Dr. Carrie believes parents are the most influential people in a child's life, and as such, parents need support and guidance to parent optimally. She started Successful Parent to coach parents with science-based strategies to overcome challenges so kids and families can thrive.

THE AWAKENED WOMAN: "Circle of Stones", 8-Week Book-Study Series,
Thursdays 9-10am PST (via Zoom), April 3rd - May 29th (no class May 8th)
“Circle of Stones” by Judith Duerk, is one of the first books to find me ten years ago when my conscious spiritual journey began.
The tagline for this book is, “Woman’s Journey To Herself” … and boy oh boy did it speak to my soul. And here I am ten years later, being called back to this book, re-reading, taking notes, highlighting, and crying with such resonance at the message and wisdom. I believe this book chose me, found me, ten years ago, and I believe I am meant to bring it to the women who are in my community and feeling called to come together for this next chapter of our personal and collective evolution.
If you are like me, and are craving community and sisterhood, if you are searching to make meaning of your life, to know yourself, to love yourself, to find purpose, and to be at peace, this series is for you.
Until next time friends, I see you, you're not alone, we're in this together!
Hugs,
Amber
