If you’re a parent, this episode is non-negotiable.

Chris McKenna—founder of Protect Young Eyes and one of the nation’s leading experts on internet safety for kids—joins me for an honest, deeply hopeful conversation every caregiver needs to hear.

We go straight into the hard stuff:
– What kids are really up against online
– Why government and tech laws are failing them
– How pornography, predators, and addiction are designed into our platforms
– What to do when you're overwhelmed and feel like giving up
– Real, simple strategies that actually work—without making you feel like a bad parent

As a mom of five, I’ve felt confused, behind, and honestly—scared. We avoided tech as long as we could, but now I’ve got three teenagers and the game has changed. This episode gave me clarity, calm, and tools that made everything feel doable. Chris doesn’t just bring facts—he brings compassion, and a blueprint that works.

What you’ll walk away with:
✔ A clearer understanding of what’s happening on your kids’ screens
✔ Practical steps that won’t overwhelm you
✔ Confidence you’re not alone—and you’re doing better than you think
✔ Hope. Real hope. For you, and for them.

This episode can truly save lives. Please listen. Please share. The time to act is now.

🎧 Not Young. Better. is the show for women who want real conversations about midlife, motherhood, and everything that hits in between. New episodes weekly.

What happens when the internet’s “No Excuse Mom” is diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at 42—while raising three boys and running a business? She fights. She transforms. And she finally lets go of everything she used to prove.

In this raw, riveting episode of Not Young. Better., I sit down with Maria Kang—viral fitness icon, nonprofit founder, cancer survivor, and truth-teller—to talk about what’s beneath the hustle.

You may know Maria from her infamous “What’s Your Excuse?” post that sparked global headlines and fierce backlash. But behind the abs and ambition was a woman unraveling—battling bulimia, chasing external validation, and eventually, facing a terrifying cancer diagnosis that would shake everything loose.

In this episode, Maria shares:

• What stage four cancer taught her about the connection between trauma, illness, and unexpressed emotions

• How she healed spiritually, emotionally, and physically—beyond chemo

• Her unfiltered thoughts on motherhood, identity loss, rage, and finally feeling safe in her body

• Why she’s no longer interested in being “liked” and what actually matters now

• 
  

• This is a wake-up call. Not just about health—but about presence, purpose, and the real work of healing. It’s Maria like you’ve never heard her before.

Now? Christina J. Warren is one of the most magnetic and insightful voices helping high-achieving women understand their energy through human design—so they can stop forcing life and start flowing with it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What human design actually is (and why it’s not just woo)

• How to move through burnout, perimenopause, and postpartum by working with your energy instead of against it

• Using human design to parent more intuitively and break free from all the “shoulds”

• The physical and emotional toll of living out of alignment

• Resting as a strategy, not a weakness—especially for moms

• How to tap into your body’s intelligence (in 90 seconds a day)

Christina shares stories from her wildly unexpected life path, her honest experience with motherhood and hormones, and what finally brought her back to herself.

This is one of the most grounding and joyful episodes we've done—and it might just unlock a new way of understanding who you are.
