What if the key to growing online is not attracting the largest audience but creating a place where people genuinely feel connected and want to return? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Lea Rosenberry, Head of Community at Chatter Social, who explains how the platform evolved from a content-focused social network into a community-first environment centered on live interaction and meaningful connection. She explains why community can be more valuable than audience size, how data helps identify the behaviors that keep people engaged, and why making newcomers feel welcome is critical to long-term retention. Lea also explores live podcasting, virtual events, creator monetization, personalized onboarding, and how Chatter Social hopes to foster more authentic human connection in an increasingly AI-driven digital world. Key Takeaways:→ Strong online communities are built on connection and belonging, not on simply producing more content.→ Features such as video, live rooms, screen sharing, and groups can help users find and connect with people who share their interests.→ Community platforms can become more effective by using real user behavior and engagement data to guide product decisions.→ Podcasts can become more interactive when hosts bring live audiences into the experience and invite listeners to join the conversation.→ Creator monetization tools, such as peer-to-peer tips, can help increase both engagement and platform retention.Lea Rosenberry is the Head of Community at Chatter Social, an interactive streaming platform that brings people together in real time. A lifelong educator and IT trainer, she has spent her career helping others adapt to new technologies and build confidence in the digital world. She now applies those skills to cultivate vibrant, supportive communities where people feel connected and empowered to thrive.

What if some of the things we've accepted as normal for childhood aren't actually healthy?Children and teenagers now spend hours each day on devices, carry the internet in their pockets, and increasingly experience friendship, entertainment, and even education through technology. But as Emily Harrison explains, there is an important difference between what is common and what is actually good for children. Emily returns to BaseCamp Live as a wave of lawsuits against major technology and social media companies begins bringing years of internal research and concerns into the courtroom. She and Davies explore what these cases are revealing about addictive design, why simply limiting screen time may not address the deeper problem, and why parents should be cautious about assuming that a product is safe simply because it is widely available. But this conversation isn't ultimately about Silicon Valley or courtrooms. It's about the children in our homes and schools right now.Emily offers practical ways families can introduce technology gradually, create healthy boundaries around phones and social media, and give children increasing freedom without handing them unlimited access. She also shares how schools can rethink responsible technology use and create communities where choosing a different path doesn't have to mean standing alone.The goal isn't to fear technology. It's to recover a vision of childhood shaped by wisdom, relationship, responsibility, and the freedom to grow up without every part of life being mediated through a screen.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:Worldview InstituteWisdom and EloquenceThe Herzog FoundationZipCastLife ArchitectsWisephone by Techless Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

As Canada debates new legislation that could set a minimum age for social media accounts, conversations about how to keep young people safe online are once again front and centre. That makes our Season 2 conversation with technology and learning expert Richard Culatta especially timely. Rather than focusing only on whether young people should or shouldn't have access to technology, Richard asks a different question: How do we prepare them to use it wisely? From misinformation and online safety to persuasive algorithms, data privacy, digital citizenship and finding balance, this replay offers practical, hopeful guidance for helping young people navigate the digital world with wisdom and confidence. Revisit our conversation with Richard Culatta.

Mike Switzer interviews Anne Marie Ashworth, a certified financial planner with Abacus Planning Group in Greenville, SC.

Hi, welcome back everyone to Everymum the podcast, I'm Aisling Keenan. Today's guest is Dr Garth Graham, a doctor and public health expert who is the Global Head of Health at YouTube, where he leads the platform's work around health information, wellbeing and making sure people can find credible, useful information online. He's also a dad of four, which is particularly relevant to today's conversation because we're talking about one of the biggest challenges facing parents right now: how do we raise healthy, happy children in a world where screens and the internet are simply part of everyday life? We talked about the rise of health influencers and the problem of misinformation online, including what happens when a health myth or conspiracy suddenly takes off, and how YouTube responds. We got into the responsibility that comes with running a platform used by billions of people, particularly when it comes to children and teenagers, and where that responsibility ends and the responsibility of parents begins. But we also brought it right back to family life. Garth talked about the rules he has around technology in his own home, whether his children challenge them, and whether being a dad has actually changed the way he thinks about children, technology and wellbeing professionally. We talked about parental hypocrisy… because how can we tell our children to get off their screens when we're permanently attached to ours?, and the enormous amount of guilt parents can feel around screen time, particularly when a screen is sometimes the only thing standing between you and getting dinner made or having five minutes of peace. And we got into what healthy screen use actually looks like, whether all screen time is equal, and perhaps most importantly, whether instead of simply trying to ban things, we should be teaching our children how to navigate the digital world for themselves. It's a really practical conversation about screens, safety, parenting, technology and finding a version of “good enough” that actually works in real family life. Here's my chat with Dr Graham, I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.In a globally connected world where teenagers talk to chatbots, build friendships with strangers they'll never meet, and live inside a digital universe of 5.5 billion people, one truth rises above all others: character matters.Today's teens are growing up in a reality shaped by advanced technology. This is a world that feels limitless, anonymous, and consequence‑free. But the moment a young person drops their values, the consequences become very real.  Even more critical is that individuals, organizations, criminal enterprises and political groups will use online relationships, apps, videos, and gaming chatrooms, to access, groom and influence their thinking.This episode of P3Kids dives into what it means to build character in a digital age.  We talk about specific projects families can do together to strengthen their character foundation as a family.-     Putting values in writing: Who are you? What do you stand for? What do you believe to be true?-       Understanding your online reputation: What does the internet say about you and your family?-       Making good choices when no one is watching: Because privacy is an illusion online.-       Owning your mistakes: And learning how to recover with integrity.We explore why character matters in every digital interaction, whether it is with friends, with strangers, with romantic interests, and even with chatbots that quietly collect and share personal information. We talk about the risks teens facetoday including deepfakes, hackers and groomers, criminal networks and sextortion.We break down how predators exploit loneliness, how flirting online is often just a trap, and why values are the only real protection a young person has when the digital world tries to pull them in every direction at once.This episode challenges families to sit down together and define what matters in writing. Because in a world where everything is connected, character is the one thing that keepsyou grounded.For more info and to donate to this 501(c)3 charity, you can reach Million Kids at: Website: https://MillionKids.org Email: info@MillionKids.org Be sure to follow and like our posts on: Facebook: iemillionkids Instagram: millionkidsteen

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!AI is in the crosshairs of its creators, ethicists, legislators, and a nervous public. With recent headlines predicting the demise of humanity, how does anyone trust AI? On a more operational level, retailers can train and scale AI, but it cannot build trust or relationships, which is an expensive blind spot for retailers. The emerging issue is that AI fluency will separate the haves and the have-nots, and retailers that understand and use AI as a tool to build trust will have a competitive edge.

Could padel become the new golf for business, networking and hospitality? In this episode of Sports Management Podcast, Marcus Filipsson sits down with Chris King, Founder of Crafted and former co-founder of Sports Recruitment International. Chris is building Crafted around a different vision of modern hospitality—combining sport, wellness, nature, community, coworking and social experiences in one place. We discuss why padel has become central to that model, why Chris believes it works particularly well as a business and networking sport, and whether padel can translate its extraordinary participation growth into a successful spectator product. Chris also shares his thoughts on the modern wellness industry, why people may be over-optimizing their health, the loneliness created by remote work, what today's employees are really looking for from employers, and why hospitality increasingly needs to create a sense of belonging rather than simply provide accommodation. We also explore Chris's unconventional career journey—from studying sports science and being rejected by Nike and IMG to building an international sports recruitment business and eventually launching Crafted. In this episode: • Is padel becoming the new golf? • Why padel works so well for business networking • Can padel succeed as a spectator sport? • The future of sports hospitality • Why community and belonging matter more than ever • Has wellness culture become too obsessive? • Sport, nature and the hospitality experience • Why people increasingly choose culture over salary • How to break into the sports industry • Why curiosity and hustle still matter • Chris King's unconventional career journey • The future of Crafted ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:11 What Is Crafted? 01:41 Disconnecting From the Digital World 02:19 Building a Sustainable Hospitality Concept 04:10 Why Padel Became Part of Crafted 05:22 Wellness, Wild Swimming & Cold Therapy 06:33 Has Wellness Culture Gone Too Far? 07:48 Why Balance Matters More Than Optimization 08:28 Designing a Different Hotel Experience 09:40 Why Chris Chose Padel 11:00 Can Padel Become a Spectator Sport? 12:26 How Guests Use Crafted 13:04 Remote Work and the Loneliness Problem 14:13 Combining Work, Travel & Hospitality 15:14 How Global Brands Use Crafted 16:31 Experiences Beyond Alcohol 17:12 Sustainability & Biodiversity 19:16 Is Padel Becoming the New Golf? 21:14 Why Padel Is More Inclusive 21:51 The Future of Crafted 23:55 Could Crafted Expand Into Scandinavia? 25:29 Chris King's Career Journey 27:26 Being Rejected by Nike and IMG 28:03 Leaving Corporate Life at 26 28:33 Building Sports Recruitment International 30:42 Building the Right Company Culture 33:15 How to Break Into the Sports Industry 35:25 Why Your LinkedIn Profile Matters 36:31 Choosing the Right Career Path Follow Sports Management Podcast for more conversations about the business and future of sport.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the concerning impact of TikTok and other social media platforms on young users' mental health. Drawing from insights from current and former employees who have raised alarms about the app's popularity algorithm, Dr. Kathy discusses how these platforms may lead children to develop a narrow identity, focusing on specific interests or influencers that can limit their personal growth. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the unseen influences at play and the potential harm to children's mental well-being in a digital age where the reality of their experiences is shaped by algorithms. Tune in to explore the implications of social media on youth and how we can navigate these challenges together. This episode references Dr. Kathy's book Five to Thrive>>

On the show this week, I'm joined by John Klymshyn—multi-instrumentalist, composer, acclaimed author of The Ultimate Sales Manager's Guide and Open the Valve, and a seasoned leader in enterprise sales. We discuss the nuances of sales leadership versus sales management, exploring how culture, vision, and practical coaching distinguish the most successful teams. John shares his strategies for building high-performance sales teams, the critical traits of effective sales leaders, and why humanity, humor, and high expectations are the pillars of sustainable sales excellence.  Outline of This Episode   [00:00] Distinction between sales leadership and sales management [03:42] Sales as a performance profession [06:45] Three key concepts: humanity, humor, and high expectations  [09:25] Building a high-performance sales team [13:12] Importance of regular team check-ins [16:20] The impact of technology and AI on sales leadership [19:52] Real-world example of leadership transformation The Essence of Sales Leadership   Sales leadership isn't about day-to-day oversight or hand-to-hand combat in the trenches. It's about shaping the culture and vision of the sales organization, emanating from the top and permeating to every client-facing role—even those not carrying traditional sales titles.   For John, robust sales leadership starts with articulating how the organization wants to be perceived—by clients, partners, vendors, and even internally. This top-down ethos inspires pride, integrity, and service, enabling a healthier and more growth-oriented company. Sales management, by contrast, is the ongoing daily interaction between leaders and salespeople, focused on performance and tactical guidance.   The Characteristics of Great Sales Leaders   John identifies three core traits in high-impact sales leaders: humanity, humor, and high expectations.  Humanity: The best leaders relate authentically to their teams, recognizing the real challenges, aspirations, and lives of their salespeople.   Humor: Lightness and laughter are not frivolous—they "soften the heart, which opens the mind". Humor makes feedback less threatening and keeps morale high, especially when the stakes are high.   High Expectations: Top leaders don't settle for mediocrity. They maintain demanding standards, pushing each team member to stretch and grow.   Combined, these three traits build environments where trust, engagement, and accountability thrive, paving the way for sustainable success.   Achieving High Performance—and Harmony—on Sales Teams   One myth John dispels is the idea that every sales team can be stacked solely with "A-players." In reality, any team of five or more will naturally include top performers, reliable "B-players," and some underperformers. The key to consistency isn't seeking perfection but identifying the five essential attributes of your ideal contributors, then cultivating and hiring for those.   That way the focus shifts from unattainable balance to the healthier concept of harmony, which is more sustainable and realistic—especially in sales, where there isn't always a clear-cut separation of work and life.   Coaching and the Human Connection in a Digital World   While AI, CRM platforms, and sales enablement tools are transforming the profession, John points out that nothing replaces the impact of a live conversation. Regular coaching sessions—his "15 minutes of fame"—give salespeople a moment to shine, discuss wins, articulate upcoming goals, and voice their needs. Coaching is most effective when it goes beyond metrics, focusing on the person rather than just the pipeline.   Leaders should recognize the individuality of each team member and resist the urge to create clones. The best thing to do is aim to harness diverse strengths, not impose your own methods.

By 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older, and by 2034, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history. About three in four adults over 50 want to age in their communities, in their homes, with their family and friends. That shift brings real challenges. How do you keep older adults safe at home when they face cognitive decline or balance problems? How do you build and sustain community in long-term care facilities, especially when they are short-staffed and money is tight? How do you know which technologies are worth investing in for aging parents, ones that are effective and safe without adding stress? As we work out which questions to ask and how to answer them, more companies and health care systems are turning to nurses. That makes sense. Nurses are uniquely positioned to lead and innovate in long-term care. Through both personal and professional experience, they sit closest to the gaps in care and the daily challenges. They are also closest to patients, so they know what will work and how. And they are building the technology and designing the solutions that foster human connection and help people of all ages thrive. In this episode, we meet three nurses building that future. Cami Peterson-DeVries, DHA, AGNP, LNHA, MSN, VP of Senior Services at St. Francis Health Services of Morris, is bringing robots and smart-room technology to her 14 nursing homes.  Roschelle "Shelly" Fritz, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., develops nurse-driven AI and smart homes for aging in place. Shu-Fen Wung, Ph.D., M.S., R.N., A.C.N.P.-B.C., F.A.A.N., studies wearable and radar sensors for fall detection and responsible AI. Together, they show a wide-open, nurse-shaped frontier where technology extends human connection at every touchpoint. Learn more about See You Now.

Marketing has never been more measurable. It may also have never been more short-term.If measurement was supposed to solve marketing's credibility problem, why hasn't five years of better data increased CEO confidence in marketing?In this Sharp Cut, Marc and Vassilis unpack what happens when the things marketing can observe quietly become the things organizations value.They trace the progression from visibility → accountability → optimization → observability, and ask whether attribution windows, platform dashboards and ROI have inadvertently trained marketers to optimize for short-term outcomes.Using research from Boathouse, the Norwegian marketing industry and others, they explore why the same data can produce radically different conclusions depending on how it is framed.They also tackle a harder question: who is responsible?Is finance forcing marketing to think short-term? Or have marketers quietly accepted the measurement windows handed to them by platforms and brought those definitions of effectiveness into the boardroom?The answer turns measurement into something much bigger: a leadership decision.Because the moment you choose the window, you decide what value counts — and what value doesn't.Chapters:00:00 Marketing Has Never Been More Measurable00:50 More Measurement, Same Confidence02:14 Marketing Won the Seat but Lost the Argument03:49 How Measurement Became Optimization05:13 When What We Can Observe Becomes What Counts05:30 The Fishing Net Problem06:47 Where Leadership Enters the Measurement Debate08:38 Are Marketers Responsible?09:12 When Marketing Takes Credit for the Weather11:16 The 35 Forces That Affect ROI12:09 The Halo Effect13:30 Same Data, Two Completely Different Answers15:45 The Retail Number That Changes the Story16:26 Why Every Channel Wants More Budget17:57 Measuring Podcast Advertising With the Wrong Net20:07 The Problem With the 95:5 Rule21:46 Why ROI Can Mislead24:06 How Cutting Spend Can Improve ROI25:20 What Does “Return” Actually Mean?27:03 When Long-Term Evidence Loses to the Quarter28:23 Can Marketing Choose a Different Window?31:29 Measurement Becomes a Leadership Problem32:42 You Can Predict the Answer by Looking at the Net34:07 Five Questions to Ask Before Measuring35:00 What Marketing Can Learn From Finance35:35 The Measurement Problem Is a Leadership Problem35:59 What Comes Next: Discounted Cash FlowEpisode Sources:Boathouse, Fifth Annual CEO Study on Marketing and the CMO, 150 US CEOs, fielded January 2026.

This week I'm joined by my brother James Saunders, a Gunditjmara, Wiradjuri and Wongaibon storyteller, producer and media specialist. James runs Barragi Mawang and has spent more than a decade working alongside our communities. But this yarn goes further back than any of that, to where the creativity started, and it isn't where you'd expect. We yarn about Country from the sky, and what a drone taught him about the stories held in the land. We yarn about the film he worked on in the Pilbara, and the phone call that opened a door nobody else could open. We yarn about his uncle, a Gunditjmara man who walked into an enlistment office at nineteen, and the two years James spent putting that story on the page. And we yarn about fear. What he's overcome, and what it took to step into who he is. There's a lot in this one. Have a listen.

What is digital life doing to us—not just to our attention spans, but to our feelings and bodies? In All the Feels: How to Stay Human in the Digital World, Pamela Pavliscak explores how texts, memes, group chats, and AI are reshaping our emotional lives—and how we're inventing new ways to stay human online. Then, in Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being, Manoush Zomorodi looks at what screens and sitting are doing to our bodies, and why tiny acts of movement may be the rebellion we need.

Revisiting an important episode this week with Dr. Alison Yeung, family physician and creator of @thesmartphoneeffectmd, where she talks all things smartphones, social media, and (of course) kids. Why are so many parents struggling to set screen time boundaries? How is technology impacting our kids' mental health, attention spans, and motivation? And how do we navigate platforms like Roblox, YouTube Kids, and even school-issued iPads?Renee and Dr. Yeung get real about balancing technology use, setting routines, and why it's not just about “parenting harder”—it's about pushing back against industries designed to hook our kids. If you've ever wondered when to give your child a phone (or if they really need one), how to protect their downtime, or how your phone habits shape theirs, this is a must-listen.FOLLOW ALISON:Instagram: @thesmartphoneeffectmdTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!AquaOmega - For your daily dose of Omega-3's, go to myaquaomega.com/MOMROOM and use code MOMROOM for 20% off.Bellesa - Today's episode is sponsored by Bellesa Boutique!

You will die. Your data will not.The afterlife of our information is a recent phenomenon, and some of the companies with the most to sort through are still just figuring it out.As far back as 2007, Facebook was forced to reckon with mass grief when users asked the company to maintain the profile pages of the 32 victims killed by a school shooter at Virginia Tech that year. Those pages became de facto memorials for loved ones to fill with comments, and today, memorialization has become a full-fledged feature on both Facebook and Instagram. Platforms like YouTube, Pinterest, and LinkedIn—launched with likely zero strategy for a user's death—now have procedures for next-of-kin to request that a deceased person's account be deactivated.Now, think about all the other ways your data can linger after death.Every year, people accumulate more and digital stuff—email addresses, social media profiles, contact lists, domain names, subscription services, online banking accounts, and the phones, laptops, and tablets that hold it all—and every year, as that digital stuff accumulates, it compounds into ever more problems for someone else to sort out. Here, a small industry of digital estate planners have cropped up, helping families retrieve and preserve anything valuable, no matter how digital, from Spotify playlists, to poignant social media posts that mattered, to the photos stored on a phone.And where retrieval fails, artificial intelligence has offered an attempt at comfort. The chatbot service Replika launched in 2015 after its founder uploaded a dead friend's text messages. HereAfter AI reportedly let users upload voice recordings to power a chatbot that sounded and spoke like the deceased. Film studios have pursued the same idea for entertainment, seeking to portray deceased actors in future films.Surprisingly, almost none of this activity is governed by law, said Tamara Kneese, author of the 2023 book “Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond.”“By and large, there is not a great legal mechanism for protecting the privacy rights of the dead,” said Kneese. “It may not be just that a grieving loved one decides to use a bunch of your data from all of your podcasts to create a chatbot to simulate interacting with you after you're dead, but it may be that a company chooses, in some way, to use an aspect of your personality, of your demeanor, of your voice, of your likeness after your death without anyone really being aware.”Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Kneese—Senior Research Scientist at Partnership on AI—about who owns a person's data after they die, why every platform has invented its own private policy for the dead, and how the technology built to keep the dead close can vanish just as suddenly as they did.Or worse yet, as Kneese warned for those relying heavily on certain technologies in grief:“The company gets sold to someone else or disappears, goes bankrupt, and you no longer have that outlet or place for interaction when you're mourning another time.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Further reading:Fartein Hauan Nilsen, “Caring for the Algorithm: Care, Love, and the Relational Personhood of Chatbots,” Somatosphere, February 26, 2026Fartein Hauan Nilsen, “Therapeutic ideology and AI personhood: an anthropological inquiry into AI companionship,” a chapter from “Handbook on Anthropology and Artificial Intelligence,” Edward Elgar Publishing, July 21, 2026University of Birmingham, “New Model Rules mark meaningful step towards digital inheritance laws,” July 16, 2026Edina Harbinja, “Governing Digital Immortality: Artificial Intelligence, Deadbots and the Law,” Edward Elgar Publishing, to be published September 2026Lilian Edwards and Edina Harbinja, “Protecting Post-Mortem Privacy: Reconsidering the Privacy Interests of the Deceased in a Digital World,” May 2013, revised November 2013Lilian Edwards, Edina Harbinja, and Marisa McVey, “Governing Ghostbots,” Computer Law & Security Review, November 2023SAG-AFTRA, “SAG-AFTRA Statement on Today's Passing of California Assembly Bill 1836,” August 31, 2024Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.

Camden Bucey speaks with Derek C. Schuurman, professor and chair of computer science at Calvin University, about Christian wisdom in the age of artificial intelligence. Drawing upon Shaping a Digital World, Schuurman explains why technology is never neutral: people shape their tools, and those tools in turn reshape habits, institutions, and communities.The conversation sets contemporary AI within the biblical story of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation. Bucey and Schuurman contrast Christian hope with technicism—the belief that technology can solve humanity's deepest problems and build a technological heaven on earth. They also discuss human nature, transhumanism, responsible design, Christian higher education, autonomous weapons, and the need to keep human moral judgment and accountability in the loop.Chapters00:00 Introduction03:41 Derek C.

Mike Winner spent a decade DJing Hollywood clubs before turning toward the infrastructure of digital freedom — founder of WINNR Digital, co-founder of the decentralized internet Qortal, and co-founder of the Music & Sky festival. Returning for the first time since 2022, he brings a caution aimed squarely at his own community: purity spiraling, the habit of turning discernment into a cage where every meal, every device, and every dollar becomes a moral exam. Real sovereignty, as he frames it, is less glamorous and far more demanding. It is what you actually own, what you actually think, and the responsibility you refuse to outsource. Nobody holds dominion over all of reality.

Have you ever uttered the phrase, "Don't worry, kids are resilient"? It's a line meant to comfort us as adults, but what if it's actually giving us permission to skip over our kids' real struggles? In this episode, I sit down with children's therapist and author Stacy Schaffer to dismantle the massive misconceptions around childhood coping and resilience. Stacy shares her own powerful story of navigating a traumatic childhood under the guise of being the "perfect, shiny" kid , and explains why our well-behaved children might actually be suffering in silence. In this episode we cover: What "kids are resilient" really means, and why we overuse it The difference between true resilience and just shutting down Why the well behaved, easy kid might actually be a red flag worth paying attention to What perfectionism can be a sign of, and why it is not the goal The one thing research shows can change a kid's whole trajectory How to actually support your kid without fixing or minimizing what they feel Stacy's own story of being labeled resilient, and what she wishes had been different Connect with Stacy Schaffer on Instagram @hoperestored, visit her site https://stacyschaffer.com/ and buy her new book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-69552166 (paid link) Check out her new course: Staying Connected to Your Kids in a Digital World. www.stacyschaffer.com/workshop 00:00:00 - The Danger of the "Kids Are Resilient" Myth 00:02:16 - Meet Child Therapist Stacy Schaffer 00:04:24 - Why Adults Overuse the Word "Resiliency" 00:06:53 - Rescue Parenting vs. Building Real Resilience 00:08:39 - True Resilience: You Don't Have to Do It Alone 00:12:12 - Stacy's Personal Story: "Shiny" Coping vs. Safe Containers 00:14:38 - Destigmatizing Therapy & Embracing Imperfect Parenting 00:18:14 - Red Flags: Is Your "Good Kid" Coping in Isolation? 00:23:38 - The Power of Being Seen: Stop Fixing, Start Listening 00:29:26 - Restoring Hope for the Next Generation Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.
