We share our thoughts, fears, and hopes during a time when many feel unheard and unsettled by what is happening around us.

It’s been a minute, but we’re back!!!! In this episode, we catch up on life after the 2025 holiday season and share how Thanksgiving, our very first Friendsgiving, Christmas, and FriendsMas all played out in the B-Rich household. From festive memories to sickness running through the house, we talk honestly about how illness impacted our family, the importance of handwashing, sanitizing shared workspaces, and navigating a season full of germs. We also kick off the new year by diving into New Year’s resolutions, goal setting, and how we’re approaching a fresh start in the new year. This episode is full of real-life family conversations, holiday reflections, and practical talk about health, wellness, and new beginnings.

In this episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we dive into the new age-verification requirements now active in Missouri and what they mean for families navigating the digital world. We share why we’ve intentionally avoided posting photos of our children online recently, and how their growing independence makes digital safety even more crucial. From social media being both a gift and a curse, to kids’ natural trust and vulnerability, we unpack how predators and hackers — now equipped with AI — are targeting youth and even the elderly. We ask the tough question: is social media truly safe for kids and teens, even on “child-friendly” platforms?

Tune in as we share our thoughts, our boundaries, and how we plan to introduce social media in age-appropriate ways. Whether you’re a new parent or raising teens, you’ll walk away with perspectives that help you rethink digital safety and online exposure for your family.
