Episode 75: The Balance Project

In Episode 75 of our podcast, Kate sits down with Holly Moscatiello, the visionary founder of The Balance Project. Join us for an enlightening conversation as Holly shares the story behind her organization, which is dedicated to helping families and communities find a harmonious balance between real-world experiences and technology.

Holly has made significant strides working with New Jersey schools to integrate awareness and foster collaboration between schools and families. She has also been instrumental in creating local events for parents, providing them with opportunities to educate themselves about the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.

Together, they explore the challenges families face with tweens and teens getting their first phones, the importance of limiting screen time for young children, and the potential internet safety risks kids encounter. Holly also offers essential insights for moms navigating this digital landscape.

The Balance Project emphasizes the dual nature of technology: its potential for good and the challenges it poses when overused. With 75% of Americans' waking hours spent on screens, children's mental health and development are at stake. Real-life experiences are being overshadowed by passive and sometimes harmful content. The Balance Project aims to recalibrate this imbalance by fostering a collective effort to find a sustainable "sweet spot" that benefits children, families, and communities.

Rooted in behavioral science, The Balance Project provides a clear process and a range of tools to support positive behavior changes. Discover how you can become part of this movement and even start a Balance Project chapter in your own community. Tune in to learn more about achieving a successful balance in our modern, tech-driven society.
