In this insightful conversation, Tara sits down with sisters, podcast hosts, and co-founders Anne Pizzuti and Kate Doerksen to explore the powerful story behind Sage Haven, a safer messaging platform for children born out of real-life experiences with cyberbullying and the growing challenges of navigating digital life. They open up about the pivotal moments that pushed them to take action, and how those experiences shaped their mission to create a space where kids can connect more safely while giving parents greater peace of mind. Tara shares a personal story about the dangers of group chats. Together, they dive into the bigger picture of digital safety, mental health, and the delicate balance families are trying to strike with technology. From the limitations of traditional parental controls to Sage Haven’s innovative nudges and safety features, Kate and Anne share how they’re rethinking what healthy tech use can look like for the next generation. This conversation offers both practical insight and a hopeful perspective for parents seeking to raise digitally aware, confident, and protected kids in an increasingly connected world.
