Welcome back to Activate Now with Lucy Colangelo.Today’s episode came together in the most spontaneous, unexpected way — and I’m so glad it did. Recently, I presented my ShineOn Digital Reset Programs to parent council leaders from across the province in partnership with OAPCE, the Ontario Association of Parents in Catholic Education. In that audience was Greg Jones, a dad who really connected with the message. Afterward, he visited my website, discovered the Great Discovery Project Community on Skool, and joined. We started chatting inside the community, one conversation led to another… and before we knew it, we decided to hit record.This episode is completely unscripted — just two people digging into what’s happening with kids and technology, the pressures families are feeling, and why a digital reset is becoming a critical part of supporting young people today.Let’s jump in.__ABOUT ACTIVATE NOW WITH LUCY COLANGELOActivate Now is a podcast about awakening potential, building strong identities, and helping young people thrive in a rapidly changing world.
