Homegirl Nation
Being a woman has never been easy and when the going gets tough, we can all use a homegirl to lean on. Join entertainment host Brigitte Truong each week as she meets with courageous guests who have found their lane despite the odds. From business failures to mental health, sex to hate crimes, the candid discussions you hear will give you a new perspective on how freeing and empowering it can be when you own your story. Let’s make it easier to talk about tough things when it comes to womanhood because when we do, we’ll see that we’re more alike and connected than we think.

#54 Lisa Chang | Reclaiming Your Time and Self-Worth in a Tech Driven World
In 2023, the US Surgeon General issued an advisory stating that “social media use is associated with harm to young people’s mental health.” With four Ontario school boards suing social media tech giants for its “widespread disruption to the education system" coupled with the recent new safety features Meta has launched for teens, we can no longer ignore the proven impacts social media and excessive screen time is having on young minds. From an increase in depression, anxiety, self harm and suicide, I think we have a collective duty to support our youth in navigating the digital world in healthy and supportive ways.
My partner and I are producing our first event together in April of 2025 called OFFLINE - a one day inspofest for teens to encourage the power of in person connections, and a homegirl on the OFFLINE advisory board that we’re so blessed to have and who is one of the leading experts in digital wellness is Lisa Chang. Lisa knows a lot about this ongoing issue that is heavily impacting young people today, but let’s be honest, they're ongoing issues impacting people in general today.
As we close out Season 4 - and what a season it has been - we gotta talk digital wellness and then some with Lisa.
Let's hangout!
