Ep 72: Empowering parents in the digital age, with Jess Chalmers
Episode 72
Monday, 24 November, 2025
In today's episode, I chat with Jess Chalmers, a digital safety expert who is on a mission to help guide parents through the complex world of online safety with confidence rather than fear. Having started out in magazine advertising sales, before running Instagram accounts for local businesses, Jess explains how watching the Netflix documentary 'The Social Dilemma' sparked a profound realisation: that despite her social media expertise, she didn't feel equipped to keep her own children safe online. This moment of clarity was the catalyst for retraining and transforming her business entirely, as she became a specialist in digital safety, working with parents, schools, corporations, and young people themselves. In this conversation, we explore the overwhelming anxiety many parents feel about their children's online lives, and Jess explains how education is the key to empowerment. She emphasises the importance of doing what's right for your own family rather than worrying about what others are doing, and shares why having open, ongoing conversations with children about their digital world is crucial for building trust and resilience. It was clear to me how Jess's empathetic approach makes internet safety feel so much more accessible and actionable, and she shares lots of practical tips that listeners can implement immediately, to help with their family's online safety too. So whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the digital landscape or simply want to feel more confident in guiding your children online, Jess's practical wisdom and supportive approach will leave you feeling both equipped and truly empowered.
