** Big Mama’s House Podcast - a podcast for teens is written and hosted by Jesse Weinberger (Internet Safety Speaker for Schools) Big Mama’s House Podcast is where real talk happens for teens who are done pretending everything is fine. We dive into the really real… like the widespread sense of loneliness no one wants to talk about, social media pressure, mental health struggles, tech true crime, generational drama, and what it’s like growing up in a digital world that doesn’t always make sense. Hosted by Big Mama (she gets it) with rotating teen co-hosts, each episode brings laughs, truth, and real advice you can actually use. Bonus: we drop extra tools and resources every time to help you deal with life’s chaos. This isn’t just another “don’t text strangers” lecture. It’s smart, funny, and packed with tools to help you stay safe and stay you both IRL and online. Big Mama’s House Podcast is built for teens, but also trusted by parents, educators, and schools who want to understand what today’s digital risks really look like … from the inside. Hosted on Acast.

In Season 2, Episode 5 of Big Mama’s House Podcast, we examine a phrase well-intentioned adults in your life may use when speaking to teens: “This is the best time of your life.” Just the fact that adults say this at all, proves that they’re not understanding the reality of what you’re dealing with, just on an average day.

A new season, a new beginning. Too many parents either don't engage or don't believe that their teens (and elementary school kids) are suffering. That’s why Season 2 of my podcast, and all future seasons will be focused directly to the students - to teenagers. If we’re going to make even the slightest dent in digital safety we need help from a population who doesn’t need to be “convinced” that there’s a problem in the first place.&...
