Hello Reader,

Some projects begin loudly. This one didn’t.

About a year ago, in the middle of all the noise — the headlines about screen time bans, the rising panic around The Anxious Generation, the endless hot takes about whether parents are failing, whether schools are behind, whether technology is ruining childhood or somehow saving it — I found myself sitting with a quieter question.

What if we’re asking the wrong thing?

Or maybe more accurately… what if we’re asking one question, when there are actually infinite answers?

Because here’s what kept bothering me:

No two families are exactly alike.
Not our values.
Not our kids.
Not our homes.
Not our capacities.
Not our fears.
Not our hopes.

So how did we get to a place where it sometimes feels like we are all supposed to parent around technology the exact same way?

As if there is one right formula.
One universal rulebook.
One perfect path.

The more I sat in conversations with parents, educators, child advocates, teens, and experts… the more I realized something important:

Technology may be universal.
​But parenting around it is deeply personal.

For some families, healthy looks like strict limits.
For others, it looks like open access with deep dialogue.
For some, screens are protection.
For others, they are pressure.
For many of us, it’s both.

And somewhere in that tension… this idea began.

Slowly.

Not as a platform for judgment.
Not as another voice shouting about what parents are doing wrong.
Not as a simple “how-to.”

But as a place for stories.

Because stories hold nuance better than headlines do.​
Stories make room for contradiction.
Stories let us be honest about what’s working, what’s not, what scares us, and what surprises us.

Over time, this small idea kept growing:
What if there were a space to explore the endless twists and turns of parenting in the digital age… without shame?
Without easy answers?
Without pretending one size fits all?

That idea became Infinite Halls.

A storytelling podcast about parenting in the digital age — honest conversations about screens, kids, identity, and growing up, without judgment or easy answers.

It has taken me longer than I expected to bring this to life.

Partly because life is full.
Partly because meaningful things often take time.
And partly because I think when something matters deeply, you want to build it carefully.

This has been a year of listening, shaping, questioning, refining, and reminding myself: progress, not perfection.

And I could not have done that alone.

I’m incredibly grateful for the many people — friends, fellow parents, educators, thoughtful challengers, collaborators, and believers — who helped sharpen this idea before it even had a name.

You know who you are.

Thank you for the conversations in hallways, over dinners, in DMs, on long walks, and in those moments where you reminded me this was worth building.

So this is simply a little note from me to say:

It’s coming.

Infinite Halls is almost here. CHECK IT OUT!​

And while this is only the beginning, I’m deeply grateful you’re here early.

More soon.

Peace, Love, and Hairgrease,

Arcadia
