Ep 87 | Becoming an Opt-Out Family with Erin Loechner

The Heartful Parent Podcast

“The opposite of opting in is not opting out, it’s living free.”

--Erin Loechner

Does it seem like screens are totally taking over in your house? It feels almost impossible to put our phones and tablets aside when so much of our daily lives is completely dependent on staying connected. Does being connected through technology really give our kids that rich fulfilling childhood we’re all striving for?

In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I have Erin Loechner, author of The Opt-Out Family here to explore the benefits of a low-tech lifestyle, and how to really make that happen in our homes.

Erin shares her journey of going from being a social media influencer, with over a million followers, to embracing a more intentional tech-free life for herself and her family. There have definitely been challenges along the way, but there are ways to find a community that you can connect with and take the journey together.

This discussion with Erin will give you practical steps to reduce your family’s dependence on screens, remind you of the importance of real-life interactions, and give you some tips and ideas of how to start with some really fun ideas for your kids.
