We lock our doors, close our windows, and check the lights before bed, but how often do you stop to protect your digital home? In a world where AI, scams, and cybercrime evolve faster than we can keep up, online safety isn’t just a tech issue; it’s an act of self-care.

In this episode of Embrace the Encore, Marie Wallace sits down with Jocelyn King, the founder and CEO of Smarter Online Safety, known as the “Queen of Online Safety.” After surviving a traumatic cybercrime that upended her life, Jocelyn transformed her experience into a mission to help people build secure, confident, and empowered digital lives.

Through her BOSS System (Better Online Safety Simplified), Jocelyn breaks down cybersecurity into practical, everyday steps anyone can follow. She explains how to build a “digital castle,” why your Wi-Fi router is your drawbridge, and how simple actions like updating software and using multi-factor authentication can make you 20 times safer online.

You’ll also hear how Jocelyn rebuilt her career and identity, using courage, empathy, and education to turn trauma into purpose. Her story proves that reinvention doesn’t always start with success; sometimes it begins with survival.
