COME ON into Infinite Halls: New Podcast is now LIVE!


Hello Reader,

I’m so excited to finally say this:

INFINITE HALLS PODCAST IS FINALLY LIVE!!!

The first story is up, and I would truly love for you to hear it.

This podcast has been living quietly in my heart for a long time. It’s a space for honest conversations about parenting, screens, identity, and growing up in a digital world — without judgment or easy answers.

Managing Disobedience Without Crushing Momentum

In Unboxing a Future, a parent faces a moment many of us dread: discovering her child has been lying about screen use and pushing past clear boundaries. What she uncovers, however, isn’t just disobedience — it’s a fully functioning mini business built on Instagram, complete with sourcing, marketing, and profit margins. Instead of shutting it down, she chooses conversation over punishment and rebuilds safety rules without crushing momentum.

This episode matters because digital parenting isn’t binary — it’s calibration.

Season One is filled with 12 deeply human stories about parenting, technology, identity, creativity, anxiety, friendship, entrepreneurship, gaming, AI, education, and what it means to raise kids in a world none of us fully grew up in ourselves.

There are stories about:
• Parents navigating the “last kid to get a phone” in the grade
• Gaming as connection instead of conflict
• AI, creativity, and what our kids think makes us human
• Neurodivergent kids using technology as a bridge, not a barrier
• Families wrestling with social media, independence, and trust
• The blurry line between protection and control
• Kids building identity online before adults fully understand what they’re seeing
• Technology becoming both a tool and a tension inside modern family life

Here are some of the stories that you can look forward to hearing about!

And underneath all of it is one bigger question:
How do we raise humans without losing each other in the process?

The episodes are intentionally short and thoughtful — around 30 minutes each — because I know how full life already is.

New episodes will release every other week, giving space to actually sit with the conversations instead of rushing through them.

Thank you for being here at the beginning of this.

Peace, Love, and Hairgrease,
Arcadia

PS: Infinite Halls is built on stories—the kind that take time, care, and real listening to tell well. Each episode involves research, recording, editing, and thoughtful production to honor the voices shared here. That work isn’t fast, and it isn’t free.

Hello Reader, When I first imagined Infinite Halls, I knew I wanted it to be more than a collection of stories from parents. I wanted to create a space where I could sit down with people who've spent years thinking deeply about children, relationships, technology, and learning. The people whose work quietly shapes families, even if their names aren't the ones making headlines. I wanted a place where I could ask them the questions I've been wrestling with myself—and invite all of us into that...

What happens when the parent breaks the screen time rules? Episode 3 explores why screen time is a shared family struggle.

Hello Reader, When I first imagined Infinite Halls, I knew the conversations I wanted to have. I just had absolutely no idea how to make a podcast. Editing? Audio? Publishing? I was completely clueless. Around that same time, Wellesley sent out a call to alumnae: Hire a summer intern. Tina applied. A rising sophomore studying Psychology and Sociology at the time, she casually mentioned she’d already produced and hosted her own podcast in high school. Perfect. Because I needed someone who knew...

DearReader, Oof. This is my wake up moment in the next podcast episode. Mary is standing in a government center with her son, Alex. He needs to use the bathroom. She shows his disability card. She tries to explain. There's a language barrier. The staff member doesn't understand. And before she can bridge that gap, he wets himself. In public. In front of other families. She described it as dehumanizing. What struck me wasn't just the incident itself. It was realizing that for Mary, this wasn't...
