First tap of the day: The Apple Weather app to make the call on whether my dog and I are getting a walk that morning — and what I'm wearing that day. Go-to news sources: I get most of my news from daily podcasts because I can multitask as I listen — my trusted sources are "The Daily" by The New York Times, "The Journal" by The Wall Street Journal, Axios, and NPR's "Up First." On rotation: I play DJ Mom when I'm not working. We've curated a Spotify playlist with my kids' favorites — the original Broadway recording of "Wicked," the soundtrack of Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph," and everything in between. And being a family of musicians, the kids and the grown-ups all sing along! <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Podcast of choice: "Crime Junkie." The true crime genre must be in my blood because my dad is a public safety consultant who has done lots of work in this sector. Most used app: Audible. Reading list: Currently reading "Radical Candor" by Kim Scott and Tom Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October." I just finished Matthew McConaughey's "Greenlights" and love the wisdom of Brené Brown from "Dare to Lead." Know someone we should talk to for our next screen time?
