Helping Families Feel More in Control of Tech, Not Controlled by It

Why This?

Technology isn’t the enemy. But it can feel like one when it hijacks dinner conversations, creeps into bedtime, or turns car rides into screen battles.

I started Stoddy Mac because I saw how even the most thoughtful parents struggle to set boundaries with tech - without feeling like the bad guy.

This isn’t about shame or screen time tallies. It’s about helping families feel more connected, confident, and calm, even in a world designed to distract us.

Why Now?

Because the pace of tech isn’t slowing down.

AI, smartphones, and apps are evolving faster than any parenting book can keep up.

You don’t need someone yelling “just unplug.”

You need a guide who’s in the thick of it. Living it, learning from it, and laughing through it.

That’s where I come in.

My Mission

I help families feel confident balancing technology in their lives.

Who I Work With

Overwhelmed Parents

Trying to model healthy digital habits but feel stuck in the scroll and tired of the power struggles.

Disconnected Partners

Trying to align (not argue) about how screens and routines fit into family life without playing tech tug-of-war.

Wired Professionals

Curious, capable, but spread thin navigating AI, digital tools, and family expectations with no room to breathe.

If you’ve ever thought: “There has to be a better way to do this,” then come on down, you’re my kind of person.

Core Values

  • The Golden Rule is undefeated. Treat people how you’d want to be treated - on and offline.

  • Leave it better. Whether it’s people, places, or the internet.

  • Move in silence. Do great work. Let the results do the talking.

  • Empathy first. Every family is different. That’s the point.

  • Progress over perfection. Small wins beat big theories every time.

The Man Behind the Mac

I’m Stoddard - dad, husband, former software salesman, and a lifelong student of human behavior.

More hoodie than blazer. More clarity than chaos.

I created Stoddy Mac as a way to blend my love for storytelling, coaching, and tech into something useful for families trying to do it right. Even if “right” looks a little messy at times.

You don’t need to figure it out alone.
