About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of online content on boys and offers insights for parents on prevention and awareness.

Trigger Warning: This episode isn't easy—but it's essential. What do screen habits have to do with real-world harm? More than we want to admit. In this powerful conversation, we sit down with the CEO of Safenest to unpack the uncomfortable truth: what kids see online can shape what they believe is normal offline. From early exposure to explicit content… to the rise of the manosphere… to the quiet ways culture is influencing our boys—this episode goes there. But it's not about fear. It's about prevention, awareness, and action. You'll walk away with: A clearer understanding of how digital content impacts behavior. Practical ways to talk to your kids (without pushing them away). Insight into raising boys who respect and protect—not harm. This is one of those conversations every parent needs… even if it's hard to hear.
