Description

Morgan is a 17-year-old high school senior whose mom is Hillary Wilkinson, co-founder of ⁠"Healthy Screen Habits."  Morgan and her older brother have been raised by parents who practice a minimalist approach, when it comes to screen time.  

Morgan has a TED talk called ⁠"Embracing Community", in which she beautifully speaks about the people in her neighborhood whom she interacts with on the regular, and how important and enriching these interactions are in her life. 

Morgan is a high school senior who plans to go to college in the fall to study Health & Exercise Science, with the ultimate goal of becoming a dentist. Morgan has enjoyed being the captain of her high school weightlifting team, and is also a fan of mountain biking and exercise in general.

Morgan and I discussed the positive impact of physical movement on both our physical and mental health. We also talked about the necessity of becoming aware of screen overuse, and the practice of being intentional about limiting screen time whenever possible. She has some great insights about living life as a Gen Z-er in today’s world, and shares some simple yet solid advice on how to scale back when tech time creeps its way up, to the extent of becoming excessive.
