Katie Thistleton and Guvna B unpack Sharenting — where parents post children’s photos and milestones on social media. They’re joined by comedy creator and influencer Jane Dowden, who explains why she never shows her twins’ faces online and shares creative ways to make relatable content without compromising privacy. Child psychotherapist and cyber-trauma expert Catherine Knibbs reveals the hidden risks of oversharing. She explains how innocent images can be misused, and why even private accounts aren’t truly safe. Catherine also explores the emotional drivers behind Sharenting and offers practical advice for parents who want to stay connected. Whether you post occasionally or share every milestone, this episode offers essential insights into privacy, consent, and the long-term impact of raising children with a digital footprint.
