Podcasts about harming

Conflict and displacement do more than destroy homes, livelihoods, and infrastructure. They also fracture the social relationships through which people sustain dignity, identity, and collective life. Yet humanitarian responses often focus primarily on individuals as beneficiaries, measured through categories of vulnerability, targeting, and service delivery. In many conflict settings, this approach can actively erode the communal bonds, local agency, and relational structures that communities themselves rely on to survive and recover. In this post, part of our new series “Delivering for people in an evolving humanitarian landscape”, Eberechukwu Owuamanam, Jesuit scholastic and humanitarian practitioner, draws on experiences from conflict-affected and disaster-affected communities in Nigeria, as well as African relational ontology, to argue that humanitarian action should move beyond models centered primarily on intervention and delivery. Drawing on concepts including Ubuntu, Igwebuike, and the Ijeluwa framework, he argues for approaches grounded in accompaniment, practice that strengthens, rather than replaces, the relational networks through which dignity and recovery become possible.

An uptick in cheap aluminium extrusion imports could be hurting local manufacturers. The Government's looking into global safeguards after imports of products, like those made here, surged 30% in the first four months of the year compared to last year. Aluminium Extruders Association chief executive Nick Collins told Heather du Plessis-Allan the US and the EU have tariffs in place. He says we need something in the range of 15–25%, so local manufacturers are on a level playing field. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE OTHER SIDE - FULL Episode 518 - For weekend commencing Friday 5 June 2026.  WOMEN DAMAGING WOMEN...Australian women sick of radical gender ideology are pushing back harder than ever on the feminist "progressive" left who dominate government and institutional culture these days. Our special guest this week is Stephanie Bastiaan from the Australian Women's Forum who wrote in The Spectator that “The institutions hollowing out women's sex-based rights are not run by shadowy men in back rooms. They are run, increasingly, by women: a majority-female federal Labor government, a public service that is 60 per cent women, a thicket of agencies where the gatekeepers of our rights are overwhelmingly female – and they all seem to sit on the same side of progressive politics.” Also...  -- Grace Tame gets awarded a podcast at taxpayers expense.  Damian wants to know when his cheque will be arriving in the mail from the government to help fund The Other Side! -- Why we should be celebrating, not bemoaning, AUKUS. -- And One Nation in front - the Liberal Party's delusions remain in full public view as the "moderates" STILL can't see the writing on the wall. [Ad] Support our show and yourself by supporting our two great sponsors! Go to https://piavpn.com/OTHERSIDE to get 83% off Private Internet Access with 4 months free! And please join THE EXCLUSIVE SIDE at https://www.othersidetv.com.au/ Follow us on X @OtherSideAUS Subscribe NOW on YouTube @OtherSideAUSSupport the showJoin The EXCLUSIVE Side at www.OtherSideTV.com.au and help us revolutionise Aussie media!

Japan has repeatedly hyped up the so-called "China threat" narrative in recent years in an attempt to justify its expanding military agenda, experts said, warning that portraying neighboring countries as "threats" has historically been a recurring tactic of Japanese militarism.专家称，近年来日本频频炒作所谓“中国威胁论”，以此为自身扩充军备的计划找借口。专家提醒，把邻国塑造成威胁，向来是日本军国主义屡用的手段。They said the latest round of alarmist rhetoric once again reveals the ambitions of Japan's right-wing forces to loosen postwar constraints, expand military capabilities and advance a broader transformation of the country's security posture.专家表示，这一轮危言耸听的论调，再次暴露日本右翼势力想要挣脱战后束缚、扩充军力、全面转变安保体制的野心。Japanese media outlets on Wednesday disclosed an outline of the government's 2026 defense white paper, which continues to portray the regional security environment as "increasingly severe" while introducing a new section on "emerging modes of warfare", calling for enhanced development in unmanned systems and artificial intelligence.日本多家媒体于周三披露日本政府2026年度防卫白皮书纲要。白皮书依旧渲染地区安全环境日趋严峻，新增新型作战形态相关内容，主张加大无人装备与人工智能的研发力度。According to the Asahi Shimbun, the upcoming annual defense report largely follows the narrative of the 2025 edition, arguing that the international community has entered a "new era of crisis", characterizing the security environment in the "Indo-Pacific region" as "increasingly severe", and hyping up the so-called "China threat" theory.据《朝日新闻》报道，这份即将发布的防卫白皮书论调大体沿袭2025年版本，宣称世界步入危机新时代，渲染印太地区安全局势恶化，大肆鼓吹所谓中国威胁论。The white paper states that defense production and technological capabilities are directly linked to defense strength. It advocates creating an "environment of mutual support" by deploying the same defense equipment as allies and other "like-minded" countries, the newspaper said.报道称，白皮书提出军工生产与技术水平直接关乎国防实力，提议与盟友及理念相近国家统一列装武器，构建防务互助环境。Liu Shuliang, an associate researcher at the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, said Japan is moving beyond the bounds of its postwar defense posture and accelerating a broader remilitarization process associated with "new militarism", through measures such as revising its national security framework, enhancing offensive combat capabilities and integrating intelligence systems.天津社科院副研究员刘树良指出，日本通过修订安保体系、强化进攻性战力、整合情报系统等方式，突破战后防卫定位限制，加速迈向新军国主义的再军事化进程。Through sustained lobbying by defense-related companies and capital groups, Japan's military-industrial complex has pushed for higher defense spending and fewer restrictions on arms exports, he said.他表示，在军工企业与资本集团不断游说下，日本军工联合体持续推动防卫预算上涨、放宽武器出口管控。"These developments are contributing to the country's accelerating remilitarization and reinforcing concerns over its shift toward a 'new militarism'," Liu said.刘树良称，上述变化加快了日本再军事化步伐，各界愈发担忧日本滑向新军国主义。He said that in early May, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi outlined Japan's revamped "free and open Indo-Pacific" vision during her visit to Vietnam. The policy line was later reaffirmed by Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi at the recent Shangri-La Dialogue, a major defense forum held in Singapore.他介绍，五月上旬日本首相高市早苗访越期间，推出改版后的自由开放印太构想，防卫大臣小泉进次郎随后在新加坡香格里拉对话会上重申了这一方针。Geopolitical ambitions地缘政治图谋"By advancing a revised 'free and open Indo-Pacific' vision and redefining its regional role, Japan is moving to expand its military reach while enhancing its influence in regional affairs. The strategy reflects Tokyo's growing ambition to play a larger role in shaping the regional security order, a move that carries clear geopolitical implications and has raised concerns over its impact on regional stability," he added.他补充道，日本借新版印太战略重新定位自身地区角色，向外拓展军事辐射范围、提升地区事务话语权，谋求主导区域安全秩序，地缘图谋明显，不利于地区安稳。Chen Hong, director of the Asia-Pacific Studies Centre at East China Normal University in Shanghai, said Japan's continued hype surrounding tensions in the so-called "Indo-Pacific region" is aimed at fueling bloc confrontation and creating exclusive groupings that run counter to the region's need for openness, cooperation and stability.华东师范大学亚太研究中心主任陈弘表示，日本不断渲染印太紧张氛围，意在制造阵营对立、组建排他性小圈子，违背地区开放合作、谋求稳定的发展需求。By deepening economic and security ties with Quad members, the Philippines and other so-called allies or "quasi-allies", Japan has increasingly pushed regional countries to choose sides, aggravating bloc confrontation and adding to tensions in the region, he said.他表示，日本不断深化同四边机制成员国、菲律宾等盟友及准盟友的经贸与防务合作，逼迫周边国家选边站队，加剧阵营对立与区域紧张。Chen said Japan's strategy is centered on the "security" agenda. Through intensified military drills and closer defense cooperation with Quad members, the Philippines and other partners, Tokyo is accelerating efforts to enhance its overseas military projection capabilities and expand its regional military presence.陈弘表示，日本整体布局围绕安全议题展开，通过高频军演、深化防务合作，加紧提升远洋兵力投送能力，扩充在亚太的军事部署。Liu from Tianjin also said Japan and the Philippines — a victim of Japanese militarism and invasion during World War II — have stepped up military collaborations in early May, exploring the transfer of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels, including used destroyer escorts.刘树良提到，菲律宾在二战曾遭日本军国主义入侵，今年五月初，日菲加紧军事合作，日方商议向菲转让老旧护航驱逐舰等海自舰艇。"Through intensified military cooperation and joint defense activities with regional partners, Japan is increasing its military presence across the Asia-Pacific region, raising concerns that such actions could aggravate tensions and undermine regional stability," he said.他称，日本借助和地区伙伴深化防务合作、联合军演，持续扩张亚太军力部署，极易激化矛盾、破坏地区稳定。"The provision of secondhand escorts to the Philippines reflects Japan's deepening involvement in regional security affairs and signals a further loosening of its long-standing postwar defense constraints," Chen said.陈弘表示，向日方交付二手护航舰，标志着日本更深介入地区安全事务，进一步突破战后长期以来的防务限制。He said the move could heighten tensions in the South China Sea, contribute to regional military competition and place additional pressure on the region's security environment.该做法或将加剧南海紧张局势，催生地区军备竞赛，恶化区域安全环境。Japan's shift toward remilitarization is likely to prompt heightened vigilance and potential countermeasures from other countries in the region, Liu said.刘树良认为，日本持续推进再军事化，势必引发周边国家高度警惕并出台相应反制举措。aggravate /ˈæɡrəveɪt/ 加剧，激化（紧张局势）undermine /ˌʌndəˈmaɪn/ 破坏，损害（地区稳定）vigilance /ˈvɪdʒɪləns/ 警惕，警觉countermeasure /ˈkaʊntəmeʒə(r)/ 反制措施，对策exclusive /ɪkˈskluːsɪv/ 排他性的projection /prəˈdʒekʃn/ （兵力）投送

This episode of the Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable. podcast takes a hard look at one of the biggest trends in the wellness world: detox culture. Susan Robbins shares a raw and deeply honest perspective on the fear-based messaging surrounding parasites, mold, heavy metals, cleanses, and “toxic overload,” while explaining what true detoxification actually looks like inside the body. From harsh protocols and supplement overload to the nervous system's role in health, this conversation challenges the idea that more detoxing always equals better wellness.Susan also dives into the genetics behind detox pathways, including MTHFR, COMT, PEMT, GST genes, inflammation markers, bile flow, and histamine responses. She explains why personalized health matters, why one-size-fits-all detox programs can backfire, and how stress, sleep, nutrition, circadian rhythm, and emotional safety often play a much bigger role in how the body functions than another cleanse ever will. This episode is a reminder that the body already knows how to detox when it has the right support, nourishment, and stability.In this episode:Why the detox industry often profits from fearThe difference between true toxic overload and depletionHow the body naturally detoxifies through the liver, kidneys, gut, skin, and lymphatic systemWhy harsh cleanses can create more stress on the bodyThe truth about parasite cleanses, binders, colonics, and juice detoxesHow chronic stress impacts detox pathways and hormone balanceWhy genetics like MTHFR, COMT, GST, PEMT, IL6, and TNF-alpha matter in personalized healthThe connection between histamine, sulfur pathways, glutathione, and detox symptomsHow nervous system regulation impacts healing and detoxificationWhy lifestyle rhythms, sleep, meal timing, and stress management matter more than most people realizeHow Susan uses epigenetics and PH360 health types to personalize detox supportThe importance of building resilience instead of living in fear around healthRESOURCES:Find all of Susan's Resources and links in the show notes: Shop the products: http://healthygut.com/healthyawakenings (this link will provide you a special discount!)https://healthyawakening.co/2026/05/18/episode124/Connect with Susan: https://healthyawakening.co/Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.

If you're any kind of regular listener to the Air Quotes Media Pod universe, you know a powerful political eruption is happening in B.C., as a result of a ruling of the B.C. Supreme Court.The Cowichan Decision, in combination with the existing DRIPA legislation, has been covered in depth by our sister pod, Hotel Pacifico.Why should a politico in the rest of Canada care? Because I think this is the biggest legal question, not just in British Columbia, but all of Canada right now: Can a court declare Indigenous title over privately held land?If so, do you own your house after 30 years of mortgage payments? Does industry invest in new nation building projects on land they don't even know is theirs? The politics of this thing are sinking Premier Eby in British Columbia. Poilievre raised it as a cudgel in Q.P.  Prime Minister Carney responded that private property rights are fundamental in Canada and that his government will always defend them.  They are appealing the decision of the B.C. Supreme Court.Meanwhile, the issue goes to the heart of reconciliation agenda in this country. Harming perceptions and long fought for advances.With us to discuss ALL OF IT are the hosts of Hotel Pacifico and 2 of the best political strategists I know ...

Many people can no longer sit in silence for five uninterrupted minutes without reaching for their phones.This article, written by Doug Eaton, explores seven ways compulsive smartphone use may be harming us mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. From endless scrolling and short-form videos to social media algorithms and constant stimulation, modern phone habits are quietly reshaping our attention, desires, relationships, and inner lives.This is not an argument against smartphones themselves. Phones are incredibly useful tools. The problem is the way many of us use them: compulsively seeking distraction, stimulation, and escape at every spare moment.Topics include:digital distractionsmartphone addictionsocial media and lonelinessattention and focusoverstimulationfulfillment vs stimulationalgorithms and desirepresence and human flourishingChristian living and spiritual formationThe way you spend your attention is the way you spend your life.

Honey bees might technically be an introduced species but despite that, we think it's fair to say we generally see them as a good thing. They're the engine of our world leading honey industry, and play a vital role pollinating crops like Kiwifruit, apples and clover. In fact, their contribution is valued at over $5 billion annually. But according to new research from the University of Auckland, they might also be playing a role in the destruction of our native trees Jesse is joined by senior scientist at New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science Dr David Pattemore.

Ocean research helps us understand marine life, but what happens when the tools we use to study animals disturb the very creatures we are trying to protect? This episode looks at a powerful question in marine science: can we study the ocean without harming it? Whale sharks and other marine animals are often studied using tools like tags, drones, boats, and tracking technology. These methods can reveal migration routes, behavior, and conservation needs, but they also raise important ethical questions about disturbance, stress, and the responsibility scientists have when working around wildlife. Marine conservation is not just about what we study. It is also about how we study it. In this episode, Andrew breaks down why lower-impact research tools matter, how drones could help scientists observe some species with less interference, and why public pressure can play a role in making ocean science better.

Pastor teaches his family a selection from "the Proverb of the day." In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that manipulation by money or flattery is a way to harm a nation, a neighbor, or oneself. This devotional draws from Proverbs 29:4–6 to reveal a threefold call to righteous living: establishing justice in society, speaking truthfully to others, and cultivating a joyful relationship with God. It warns against the corruption of power through bribery and the moral danger of flattery, which manipulates others through deceptive words, likened to setting traps. The passage emphasizes that self-advancement through ingratiation or manipulation leads to spiritual entrapment, while true freedom and joy come only through faith in Christ, who justifies and sanctifies the believer. Pastor calls his family to integrity in public life, honesty in relationships, and personal reliance on Christ, framing faith as the only foundation for a life that is both righteous and joyful. Ultimately, the message is a pastoral exhortation to live with moral clarity, spiritual vigilance, and deep contentment in God's grace.

Two major legal rulings against social media giants in the US are being heralded as the “Big Tobacco” moment for Big Tech. But will the courts actually be able to protect users from harm on these platforms? Here in Canada, attempts to regulate big tech companies have largely failed, but Carney's government has signalled a renewed focus on addressing online harms. Will the government commit to meaningful legislation? Should we follow Australia's example and ban social media for youth?

Have Gen Z and Gen Alpha lost touch with the real world? Gen Z entrepreneur and founder of Touch Grass Together, Adnan Alkhalili, thinks so.“I grew up very natively online, scarily so ... I grew up on the Discord world. I grew up on the gaming world as well ... and even the friends I had in real life, we would end up not even spending time together. We would spend all of our time online. So they‘d be in their house, I'd be in my house,” Alkhalili says.The online world traps Gen Z into an escapist reality that their parents do not comprehend. Even good parents, he said, have no idea what their kids are doing online and to what extent they live online: “If you talk to any Gen Z and have them explain it to somebody that's not Gen Z, the person who's not Gen Z—maybe a later millennial and older—will actually have no idea what they're talking about. It sounds like another language.”Gen Z and Gen Alpha, he said, spend most of their time indoors on their devices; they don't move much. They eat addictive processed food and drink lots of addictive energy drinks to combat tiredness.“My metabolic health was destroyed,” he told me in our interview. “I felt like my life was over. ... I was so tired of life that I felt like I was in my 70s or 80s.”Now he's helping other young people exit this lifestyle with Touch Grass Together, a health and wellness initiative focused on metabolic health and real life community experiences: “We've come up with a framework called the touch grass moment. And ultimately, we're trying to recreate human ritual.”This framework, he explained, is based on four core components: light, movement, nourishment, and human connection. The goal? Getting Gen Z off their devices and out of their rooms, getting them to do things together outside such as touching grass or jumping into leaf piles and eating healthy food.But how to achieve that? In our interview, Alkhalili talks about the constructive role technology can play in helping Gen Z to escape “brain rot” online. Is there also a constructive role for AI? What about social media? And should schools forbid smartphones?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this season of Lent, we're on a break from new episodes and are re-running a conversation from 2023 that we had with global child welfare professionals Dr. Greg Burch, Kelly Strong, and Dan Hope. We'll look at cases where westerners were given access to vulnerable children in the Global South and then abused those children. We'll explore the significance of cultivating cultures of awareness around child protection. We'll get into the importance of establishing robust policies and systems designed to mitigate the risks associated with child abuse and exploitation. By fostering environments that prioritize vigilance and the well-being of children, we can better identify and prevent abuses, ultimately ensuring their safety and welfare.

Is microplastic misinformation harming environmental outcomes and science literacy? This episode features a roundtable in response to the responses the Guardian got for their recent article highlighting the uncertain science of microplastics. Turns out a lot of the headlines that went viral didn't actually represent reality. I was happy to see the Guardian making a correction, but then I saw the responses they got… A lot of people were really convinced the article was brought to you by "big plastics". And when I did my own recap on social media, I was also accused of being funded by the plastic industry. To help cover what unfolded, and what this all means for broader science and environmental outcomes, this convo features Oli Jones PhD from the microplastic research POV, and Rick Stafford PhD from the environmental science and policy POV.

According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaica is ending its longstanding medical cooperation arrangement with Cuba, a move that is already creating uncertainty, delays, and concern within the health sector. Jamaica's government has said the two sides could not agree on new terms and also pointed to labour and legal concerns in the existing arrangement. At the same time, the broader context is impossible to ignore: this decision comes amid intensified U.S. pressure on Cuba and Washington's campaign against Cuba's overseas medical missions.In my view, this is not happening in a vacuum. The United States has been pushing countries to reconsider or sever ties with Cuba, including in the health sector, while accusing Cuba's medical missions of forced labour—an allegation many Caribbean leaders have rejected. Reuters reported that Jamaica is the latest country to roll back medical cooperation with Cuba under pressure from the Trump administration, and similar disruptions are now being seen elsewhere in the region.Guyana is also facing a similar problem. The Associated Press reported that Cuban doctors are preparing to leave Guyana after disputes over payment arrangements, again in a climate shaped by U.S. pressure and wider efforts to isolate Cuba. AP also noted that Jamaica, Honduras, and several other Caribbean countries have been reconsidering how these programmes are structured.The Caribbean has long depended on Cuban medical personnel to help fill critical shortages, especially in underserved areas. So if Washington's policy helps trigger the collapse of these partnerships, then the United States cannot wash its hands like Pontius Pilate and walk off stage. It has a responsibility to help address the gap its policy has helped create. If the U.S. wants Caribbean governments to end or reduce their medical ties with Cuba, then it should also help provide the doctors, nurses, training, and investment needed to protect healthcare in Jamaica and across the region.Renaldo McKenzie is Author of Neoliberalism Globalization Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance and the upcoming book "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and The Death of Nations.

Harm OCD is one of the most frightening and misunderstood themes of OCD, especially when it shows up in children. Intrusive thoughts about hurting oneself or someone else can feel shocking, confusing, and deeply distressing for both kids and parents. These thoughts often clash with a child's true values, which is exactly why they feel so intense.In this episode, we gently unpack what harm OCD really is and what it is not. We talk about the difference between intrusive thoughts and intent, and why fear can so easily be mistaken for danger. When parents understand the OCD cycle and how it attaches to what matters most, they are better equipped to respond with clarity instead of panic.If you are a parent who has ever felt your heart drop after hearing your child share a scary thought, or if your child has ever been terrified of their own mind, this episode is for you.Resources Discussed in Episode:-Handout of this episode-Videos on Harm OCD:https://youtu.be/qQgTkIfUFDM?si=0c9wIFghIctn4BCThttps://youtu.be/XR0anBw_NIY?si=ggHSaxbhkdlkvOjFhttps://youtu.be/hPOJW3iXRwU?si=lFAcTY7qMX7DMiXh-SPACE Study Course***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

So you ditched dieting, stopped tracking and decided to start doing intuitive eating, and therefore you gave yourself permission to eat whatever you want. And now it feels a bit chaotic, unstructured, and you find yourself wondering, "Am I doing this right?" as you watch the number on the scale go up, and your labs get worse. If intuitive eating has gotten twisted into grabbing whatever's in front of you, finishing food just because it's there, or telling yourself "I'm allowed to" without ever actually checking in with your body…this episode is your wake-up call. Because that's not intuitive eating. It's IMPULSIVE eating. (oops…that's ok we're going to fix it today!)

A major legal battle is putting social media companies under intense scrutiny as parents, experts, and lawmakers question whether algorithm-driven platforms are harming children's mental health.With whistleblowers raising concerns and Mark Zuckerberg facing accountability, the debate centers on whether platforms like Meta Platforms and YouTube prioritize engagement over safety.Are these platforms designed to be addictive? Should tech companies face product liability? Or should parents bear responsibility for monitoring usage?This discussion explores: • The impact of social media on youth mental health • Algorithm influence and exposure to harmful content • Parental responsibility vs. corporate accountability • Comparisons to tobacco and age-restricted products • Potential legal and policy consequencesAs lawsuits unfold, the outcome could reshape online safety standards and redefine accountability in the digital age.

Modern marketing excels at personalization — until it reaches one consistent area where many brands still break down, costing them growth and frustrating customers in the process. In this milestone episode, Sonia Thompson explores The Glitch in Modern Marketing — and why brands that are otherwise sophisticated in growth marketing and customer acquisition often hesitate, stall, or retreat when identity enters the picture. Marketers know how to tailor products, experiences, and messaging by behavior, lifecycle stage, and preferences. But when personalization intersects with human identity, that rigor often disappears — replaced by assumptions and a return to “general market” thinking. This episode breaks down: Why identity shapes how customers decide what's “for someone like me” How general market marketing quietly creates friction and lost sales Why asking customers to adapt is no longer a neutral choice And how integrating identity completes personalization — instead of complicating it If growth feels harder than it should, this episode will help you see what's been missing — and how to fix it.

What happens when achievement stops motivating and starts measuring worth? In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Wallace to talk about how achievement culture quietly shapes our kids and us based on her New York Times Best Selling Book Never Enough:When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It. We unpack why so many high-performing kids struggle with anxiety, burnout, and a constant never-enough feeling, even when they look successful on the outside. We also preview her newest book, Mattering, which explores a simple but powerful idea: kids do better when they feel valued for who they are and when they see how they add value to others. That sense of mattering acts as a buffer against pressure, comparison, and setbacks. We also talk about the bigger picture, how economic pressure, school culture, and social media fuel comparison, and why parents are not failing for feeling stuck in this system. In this episode, we discuss: • Why high-achieving kids are at higher risk for anxiety and burnout • How achievement culture shapes long-term self-worth • Clean fuel vs fear-based motivation • Why mattering supports resilience and mental health • How comparison takes hold and how social media adds pressure • How parents can support healthy striving without pressure • Why kids should not worry alone and the role of adult support To connect with Jennifer Wallace follow her on Instagram @Jenniferbrehenywallace, check out all her resources at Jenniferbwallace.com and buy her books “Mattering” https://www.jenniferbwallace.com/preorder and “Never Enough” https://www.jenniferbwallace.com/about-never-enough .  00:00 Why praise alone does not build self worth 00:40 Why this conversation matters for parents today 02:16 The hidden cost of achievement culture 03:37 How achievement came to define childhood 05:05 From teen pressure to adult never enough 07:14 What achievement culture looks like later in life 07:50 Dirty fuel vs clean fuel for motivation 11:13 When self worth becomes tied to success 12:08 What the research shows about high achieving kids 16:33 Why pressure feels worse now 18:18 What resilient kids have in common 39:07 Redefining achievement as mattering Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.
