As a mother, Tara deeply understands the challenges parents face today when it comes to the decision about when to give your child a smartphone.

On July 10, 2004 Joe Delgrave's life changed forever. A casual boating adventure with his best friends on the Mississippi River turned into a life-altering accident. In a split second, he went from a college football player to a paralyzed 19-year-old. His life as he knew it was over and he had to find a way to live again.

Joe turned his adversity into purpose and found passion in the sport of wheelchair rugby. Joe competed with the U.S. wheelchair ruby team at the paralympics and earned a Paralympic bronze medal. He is now the coach of the U.S. Paralympic wheelchair ruby team.

Off the court, Joe is a sought-after speaker, sharing his story of resilience, leadership, and identity. Joe and I talk about how 'the pause' is so important after a life pivot - to propel us forward to new purpose and passion.

There’s no handbook to parenting in this new digital world, but we should prioritize our children and their right to digital privacy and safety over our desire for online popularity, believes child privacy advocate, Sarah Adams. Sarah is a firm believer that children have a right to privacy, informed consent, and online safety and she's been exploring the state of parental public oversharing, child exploitation and minor safety on social media since the summer of 2021.

Known as "mom.uncharted" on her socials, Sarah has a large and supportive community of like-minded adults who feel that the way parents are sharing their children online is concerning and that the platforms, governments and brands need to step up to protect a whole generation of children from growing up in the public eye without their knowledge or informed consent. Her goal has always been to pose questions, offer a different perspective and provide information, encouraging parents to reflect on their own sharing choices and accounts they are consuming that are using “kids as content”.
