189. The Effects of Social Media with Aimee

It is no secret we live in a technological world. But when our world is dictated by an addicting algorithm that focuses on the likes, views, and the latest trends, we lose focus on important relationships, skills, and moments. Aimee Winder Newton is here to help educate everyone on the dangers and the reality of the effects social media is having on youth. From how the state is addresses issues to what we can do in our own homes, this is not an easy topic so we are so grateful for Aimee for sharing her knowledge to help us get the conversation started so we can come together and make a change.

Aimee Winder Newton serves as a senior advisor to Governor Cox and director of the Office of Families. In this role she advocates for proactive policies to strengthen families in Utah.
