Parenting in a Digital World: What Every Mom & Dad Needs to Hear with Chris McKenna

If you’re a parent, this episode is non-negotiable.

Chris McKenna—founder of Protect Young Eyes and one of the nation’s leading experts on internet safety for kids—joins me for an honest, deeply hopeful conversation every caregiver needs to hear.

We go straight into the hard stuff:
– What kids are really up against online
– Why government and tech laws are failing them
– How pornography, predators, and addiction are designed into our platforms
– What to do when you're overwhelmed and feel like giving up
– Real, simple strategies that actually work—without making you feel like a bad parent

As a mom of five, I’ve felt confused, behind, and honestly—scared. We avoided tech as long as we could, but now I’ve got three teenagers and the game has changed. This episode gave me clarity, calm, and tools that made everything feel doable. Chris doesn’t just bring facts—he brings compassion, and a blueprint that works.

What you’ll walk away with:
✔ A clearer understanding of what’s happening on your kids’ screens
✔ Practical steps that won’t overwhelm you
✔ Confidence you’re not alone—and you’re doing better than you think
✔ Hope. Real hope. For you, and for them.

This episode can truly save lives. Please listen. Please share. The time to act is now.
