Episode 7 - Intro to Cybersecurity and Slowing the Heck Down!

Welcome to our second collaboration podcast episode, featuring licensed clinical social worker and author Dominique Jackson!

Cyber Minds: How Psychology Shapes Our Cybersecurity Habits

In this episode, we dive into the unexpected but eye-opening connection between mental health and cybersecurity. It turns out that staying safe online isn’t just about firewalls and antivirus software — it’s also about understanding your own habits, emotions, and reactions.

We’ll explore how simple things like stress, anxiety, and distractions can make you more likely to fall for phishing scams or security slip-ups — and how a little mindfulness and awareness can go a long way in protecting yourself.

It’s a conversation about how your mindset is just as important as your password — and why cybersecurity is as much about people as it is about technology.
