The Village We Replaced

We’ve all heard the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child.”  What happens when the village disappears and in its place we hand our kids a digital world filled with strangers, filters, and algorithms that don’t have their best interests at heart?In this episode, Nova takes a hard look at how society traded genuine community for convenience and control. From industries that profit off childhood innocence to parents pressured into performance, this conversation explores a few of the ways we’ve allowed exploitation to move in through the very devices we trust to keep our children occupied.It’s not about blame. It’s about awareness and about finding the courage to rebuild a real village again, one grounded in boundaries, shared responsibility, and a renewed commitment to protecting innocence in a world that has forgotten what that means.
