Artificial intelligence is moving faster than ever, and with every new headline comes a fresh wave of excitement, uncertainty and fear. So how do we embrace the benefits of technology without losing what makes us human? This week, Lucy and Kel are joined by author, speaker and digital wellbeing advocate Noddy Sharma for a fascinating conversation about AI, digital dependency, faith, parenting and the future we're creating for the next generation.

Why attention may be one of our most valuable resources in the digital age.  What parents need to know about technology, relationships and digital addiction.  The vision behind Focus48, a new initiative encouraging Australians to step away from devices and reconnect with people and community.  Practical ways families can create healthier technology habits together.  Resources Mentioned 📘 Being Human: Reclaiming Our Humanity in a Digital World by Noddy Sharma.  🌐 Focus48: www.focus48.org  Whether you're excited about AI, concerned about its impact, or simply wondering how to navigate a rapidly changing world, this conversation offers a thoughtful and hopeful perspective on staying grounded, connected and human.
