This Rural Life with Katrina Myers

The 100th episode of This Rural Life (previously The Rural Rockstar) is out this week and I have decided to take a break now. I am not really sure what the direction of the podcast is and I need to do some thinking.

This one is for the parents.. I don’t know about you but I lie awake at night worrying about the digital world our kids have to live in.

There is so much research to show how damaging social media is for our kids and yet it’s left...
