    Why Reality TV Star Cortney Hendrix Sherman Refuses to Put Her Kids Online
    May 13 2026
    What happens when reality TV fame collides with influencer culture, motherhood, and the growing conversation around children’s privacy online? In this episode of Parents Uncharted, Sarah sits down with former reality star Cortney Hendrix to unpack the reality TV-to-influencer pipeline, the hidden pressures of content culture, and why she ultimately chose not to share her children online. Drawing from her firsthand experience on Married at First Sight, Cortney opens up about navigating sudden internet fame before “influencer” was even a career path, the rise of parasocial relationships, and the emotional toll of living publicly online. Together, Sarah and Cortney explore: The reality TV → influencer pipeline and how social media changed everything Why family content performs so well online- and the disturbing truth behind it The pressure creators face to share pregnancy, babies, and family life for engagement Parasocial relationships and the loss of privacy in influencer culture Why Cortney stopped showing her children online The terrifying comment that changed her perspective on children’s digital safety forever How brands, algorithms, and social media platforms reward family content The growing cultural shift away from sharenting and family vlogging Why “kids are not content” is becoming a larger movement online The importance of privacy, informed consent, and protecting children’s digital footprints Cortney also speaks candidly about backlash, online criticism, losing followers after setting boundaries, and what it means to stay grounded in a culture that rewards oversharing.

  • Should We Ban Social Media for Kids? A Parent’s Honest Take

    Should We Ban Social Media for Kids? A Parent’s Honest Take
    May 6 2026
    If you’ve ever wondered whether social media bans are actually the answer to keeping kids safe online, or if they just feel like the answer, this episode is for you. In this solo episode of Parents Uncharted, Sarah unpacks the growing global push to ban social media for kids and teens, and why, despite understanding the concern, she’s not convinced it’s the solution. Drawing on emerging policy conversations, real-world examples like Australia’s under-16 ban, and what she’s seeing firsthand as a child safety advocate, Sarah breaks down the complexity of this issue and why a simple “ban” may not address the deeper problem. Together, we explore: ● Why social media bans are gaining momentum worldwide ● What early data from Australia suggests about whether bans actually work ● Why kids aren’t leaving platforms- they’re learning to work around them ● The privacy risks tied to age verification, biometric data, and digital ID systems ● How bans could expand surveillance and impact everyone - not just kids ● Why restricting access doesn’t fix addictive design or platform incentives ● The loophole few are talking about: kids still being shared online by parents ● Why digital literacy, critical thinking, and emotional resilience matter more than ever Sarah also shares her current perspective on what might be more effective from delaying devices and empowering parents, to pushing for stronger platform accountability and meaningful online safety legislation. This episode is a reminder that while the risks of social media are real, the solutions aren’t simple and if we focus only on restricting access, we may miss the opportunity to actually prepare our kids for the world they’re growing up in. Because we can’t put the genie back in the bottle but we can raise kids who know how to navigate it.

  • Cyber Expert Fareedah Shaheed: Predators & Online Grooming

    Cyber Expert Fareedah Shaheed: Predators & Online Grooming
    Apr 29 2026
    If you’ve ever wondered how to talk to your kids about online safety without scaring them or pushing them away, this episode is for you. In this episode of Parents Uncharted, Sarah sits down with Fareedah Shaheed (CyberFareedah), a cybersecurity expert, educator, and survivor of online grooming, to unpack what’s actually happening behind the screens our kids use every day. Drawing from her lived experience and professional background, Fareedah breaks down how online predators operate today, where they show up, how they build trust, and why the way we’ve traditionally taught kids about “strangers online” is no longer effective. Together, they explore: The real mechanics of grooming (and why it often feels “normal” to kids) The subtle red flags parents are most likely to miss Why connection- not control- is the strongest form of protection How disconnection and vulnerability make children more susceptible The critical shift from reactive parenting to proactive, relationship-based safety Fareedah also introduces her SAFE Method, a framework built on Safe Spaces, Accountability, Fun, and Empathy - offering parents a practical, human-first approach to protecting kids online that goes far beyond apps, settings, or screen time limits. This episode is a powerful reminder that while technology is constantly evolving, the most effective tool we have to keep our kids safe hasn’t changed: our relationship with them.
