What can parents do to protect their kids from predators like Epstein — and what are the warning signs they should never ignore?

I joined @Rick DellaRatta on The Jazz for Peace Podcast for a powerful conversation about parenting, prevention, and lifelong advocacy.

In this episode we discuss:
• The Epstein issue and predatory concerns for our youth
• How parents can stay connected — even just 5 minutes a day matters
• When to seek professional help and how to talk openly about risks
• Insights from my new book Your Journey to Successful Parenting, Ages 2–11
• And even a surprise performance of the Dave Brubeck classic “Take Five”!

“I had these thoughts, but I was too afraid to say them out loud.”

If you've experienced postpartum depression, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts — you're not alone.

In this episode, we cover:
• What intrusive thoughts really are — and why they don’t make you a bad parent
• How to practice self-compassion in the fog of new motherhood
• What support actually sounds like when you need it most
• One essential piece of advice I offer every new mom
