## Resource

This week on Sheena Interrupted , it’s just TRID and Jae… and one very honest conversation about Snapchat. After a month of using the app, we sat down to break down what’s actually happening behind the screen: how much time is being spent, what real communication looks like vs. just “streaks,” and why it’s harder to put the phone down than anyone wants to admit. This isn’t a lecture, it’s a real back-and-forth between a parent trying to understand and a teenager living it in real time. We talked: What kids are actually doing on Snapchat How “streaks” keep you coming back Why screen time adds up fast The balance between independence and boundaries What’s helpful vs. a complete waste of time How to be aware (without being addicted) If you’re a parent, this will make you think. If you’re a kid, you’ll probably feel seen. Equal parts honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable…in the best way. Thanks to this week’s sponsor Storyworth.com/Sheena
