Today, I sit down with Zorina Pritchett, a veteran, caregiver, and innovative game creator, to talk about what it means to raise a generation in a digital world — and how we can reclaim meaningful family connection. Ms. Pritchett is the founder of Zochey, a company creating fast, inclusive, and engaging card games that bring kids, parents, and grandparents together — without a screen in sight.
We get into the origins of her first game, ZomadicShift, a suspense-filled quick-play game designed to build attention, regulation, and connection across generations. Ms. Pritchett shares how caring for her brother after a debilitating stroke, watching her grandkids get lost in their screens, and a vivid dream inspired her to bring the game to life. She opens up about how games can reveal emotional regulation challenges in kids, offer therapeutic benefits to adults with brain injuries, and create the kinds of memories that last longer than any social media trend.
We also share about the often overlooked weight of being a caregiver — especially when you're trying to balance your own life, health, and dreams in the process. Ms. Pritchett gives powerful advice for caregivers, including how to schedule smarter, protect your emotional bandwidth, and help those you love not just survive, but thrive.
