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.

The habits our kids absorb may matter more than the rules we make—especially when it comes to books, screens, curiosity, and learning.

Hello Reader! One of my favorite parts of recording Infinite Halls is discovering that the conversation I thought I was having isn't actually the conversation at all. This week, I sit down with my dear friend Candace. Going in, I thought we'd spend our time talking about reading versus screens. Physical books versus Kindles. Audiobooks versus paperbacks. Maybe even whether screens are replacing reading altogether. Instead, we spent an hour talking about values. Lady Gaga GIF by Apple Music...

Jayne and Jaime

Hello Reader, I've known Jayne for longer than I probably care to admit. We met at Wellesley, back when the biggest risk of saying something embarrassing was that a handful of friends might remember it years later. Thankfully, there was no social media documenting every questionable haircut (I had many), bad decision, or late-night philosophical debate. I've been lucky to have Jayne in my life all these years. For nearly a decade, we've been bouncing parenting ideas back and forth, asking...

Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, I noticed something about my own habits. Every morning there seemed to be another headline about children and technology. "Social media is destroying childhood." "AI is changing education." "Phones should be banned." "A new study says..." I would read them. Sometimes I'd send them to friends. Occasionally I'd save one because I thought, I should probably know this. But after reading enough of them, I realized something. The headlines were multiplying much faster...
