The Secure Family Podcast

Self-Defense Mindset with Dr. Jeremy Butler
 
Host Andy Murphy interviews self-defense expert Dr. Jeremy Butler about practical personal safety for families. Dr. Butler explains that personal safety is a life skill and recommends investing in three areas: firearms training (when appropriate and trained), self-defense/martial arts with a true protection focus, and holistic safety measures such as home security and ongoing education.
 
He argues for studying violence through videos for observational learning while protecting mental health. Butler teaches "Practicing the ARTS" (Avoid, Run, Talk, Strike), emphasizing awareness, escape, verbal de-escalation, distance management, and "preparing your witnesses" with clear commands and non-threatening posture.

Spotting Grooming: Predatory Behavior and Red Flags
 
Host Andy Murphy discusses how parents can recognize grooming by understanding common predatory patterns and red flags. He highlights a Kentucky case involving a middle school teacher arrested under a new anti-grooming law (House Bill 4), which targets manipulation, trust-building, secrecy, and boundary violations before abuse escalates.
 
Andy explains six typical grooming stages and what behaviors to look for. He advises parents to raise confident kids, watch for private communication and repeated boundary violations, talk with children with compassion, and teach "good secret vs. bad secret," including vigilance about online contact.

How Someone Might Track You and How to Protect Yourself
 
Andy Murphy explains common ways people may track someone or their child and how to respond safely. Using a real case where an automotive technician found a GPS tracker on a woman's car, Andy breaks down how you could be tracked. 
 
He covers physical vehicle tracking methods like magnetic GPS units, OBD-II plug-in trackers, hardwired devices, and built-in connected car services. Plus, he recommends inspection areas inside and outside a car.
 
He also discusses technology-enabled stalking through shared accounts, location-sharing apps, cloud access, family phone plans, and stalkerware, including warning signs and careful steps to secure email first, review trusted devices and recovery options, adjust sharing settings, and document evidence while prioritizing immediate safety and avoiding actions that could escalate risk.
