It Made a Difference to That One

In this special podcast episode, Kerryn shares a deeply personal reflection inspired by her interview with Maggie Ciobanu, founder of Yoochooz, a first-of-its-kind app that helps prevent cyberbullying before it starts.

Through stories of her own childhood, reflections on parenting in the digital age, and the small moments that shape human connection, Kerryn explores how conversations—both the ones we have and the ones we miss—can leave lasting ripples.

She invites us to consider:
🟡 How do we model healthy communication for our children?
🟡 What messages are our kids learning—when we're not looking?
🟡 Can one thoughtful pause really change a life?

🔑 Key Learnings & Takeaways:

  • Our first teachers are our parents. The way we speak, listen, and connect with our children forms the blueprint for how they engage with the world.

  • Technology has changed—but human values haven’t. Tools like Yoochooz offer a modern solution rooted in timeless values: kindness, awareness, responsibility.

  • Open-ended questions build connection. Try: “What was the highlight of your day?” or “What made you feel proud today?”

  • Communication is learned—and practiced. Every dinner, car ride, or shared moment is an opportunity to model empathy and reflection.

  • Helping one child is enough to start a ripple. You don’t need to change the whole world. You just need to help the one in front of you.

🌊 "If we help one, we help many. Because the ripple begins with us."
