How do we really keep kids safe online? What are the signs a child might be silently struggling with digital stress? And how can parents or educators build a realistic, compassionate digital safety plan that actually works?

In this conversation, Mandi talks with Deyanira Murga, PPS, CPOI, a professional security consultant and founder of Security Next Gen, about the emotional and mental side of online safety. Together, they unpack what “cyber trauma” looks like, how AI and dating apps are changing the digital landscape for teens, and what trusted adults can do to support youth with empathy and awareness.

If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your child or your students from the hidden risks of today’s online world while empowering them to thrive, this episode is packed with practical answers and heart-centered insight.
