Are we making life too easy for our kids? In a world where we rush to remove every obstacle from our children’s paths, we may be unintentionally robbing them of the very thing they need most—resilience. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Justin Coulson is joined by Tim Curtis—former SAS Commander, humanitarian, and author of Building Resilient Kids. From war zones to raising teens, Tim’s lived experience offers extraordinary insights into how resilience is truly built. Together, they unpack why a little stress is good, why failure matters, and the foundational layers that make kids bounce back stronger. This is the resilience masterclass every parent needs. KEY POINTS: Resilience isn’t fixed; it can be built. The Resilience Shield Model: Six layers—Innate, Mind, Body, Social, Professional, and Adaptation. Stress is essential—but it needs to be the right amount. Overprotective parenting harms resilience—kids need to struggle to grow. The power of strong family connections as the cornerstone of resilience. Practical stories from war zones, camps, and families that highlight resilience in action. How parents can role model resilience every day (including how we handle bad drivers and broken sinks!). Why rest and recovery are crucial parts of resilience—not signs of failure. The difference between resilience, willpower, and grit. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Resilience varies by degree, not by kind. The stress in your child’s life is real to them—and they need it to grow.” – Tim Curtis RESOURCES MENTIONED: Book: Building Resilient Kids by Tim Curtis (out July 1) Podcast: The Unforgiving Sixty Podcast: Building Resilient Kids (Tim’s companion podcast to the book) Resilience Shield Model – Research-backed framework Jill Bolte Taylor on emotions passing in 90 seconds Research by Carol Dweck (Growth Mindset) and Angela Duckworth (Grit) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Model resilience. Let your kids see you handle stress, setbacks, and failure with grace and recovery. Let them fail—safely. Small failures help kids build the coping mechanisms they’ll need later in life. Prioritise the basics: Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and social connection—these are resilience superpowers. Let them sit with discomfort. Don’t rush to fix every negative emotion. Let them learn that emotions pass. Talk about effort, not outcomes. Celebrate trying, learning, and persisting more than trophies or grades. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's face it—hostile workplaces are more common than we care to admit. Whether it's passive-aggressive emails, micromanagement, gaslighting, or relentless pressure that crosses the line into emotional fatigue—these aren't just “bad days.” They're environments that chip away at your mental health. But here's the good news: you are not powerless. This isn't just about “getting through it.” It's about transforming how you show up—with boundaries, support, and a deep commitment to your own growth. By the end of this episode—and ideally by the end of the full program—we want you walking away with three superpowers: The confidence to protect your time and emotional energy. The tools to build support networks that lift you up. And the mindset to focus on your growth, not the toxicity around you. Because yes—you can thrive in difficult environments. And when you do, you become not just burnout-proof—but bulletproof.

What if you could tap into your inherent resilience at any time? Prentis Hemphill guides a meditation to turn good memories into a state of resilience.How To Do This Practice: Get Comfortable in Your Body: Find a position, seated, standing, or lying down, that feels right. Move, shake, or sound out anything that helps you arrive in your body. Conjure a Resilient Memory: Call to mind a moment, place, or experience that makes you feel strong, creative, or connected, something that reminds you of your resilience. Let It Fill You Up: Notice where that memory lives in your body, and let it expand into your arms, legs, face, and breath until it energizes your whole being. Turn It Up: Amplify the sensation by 20%, letting it spill through your muscles and cells. Notice shifts in breath, posture, and energy. Turn It Down: Gently reduce the sensation, bit by bit, and observe what changes. What stories re-emerge, how your body responds, and how you make that shift. Carry It With You: Return to the present moment with the option to bring that resilience with you at the volume and intensity you need, knowing it's always available.

We spend so much time and energy worrying about what others think of us — when, in reality, it simply doesn't matter. You already have your own challenges and goals to focus on, and caring about others' opinions only drains energy from what truly deserves your attention. Of course, that's easier said than done. We're conditioned to seek approval, and breaking that habit takes conscious effort. In today's episode, you'll learn three of Mark's best-kept strategies for staying internally validated — and how he's learned to completely stop caring what anyone else thinks.

We've just wrapped up our series on Fathers and Daughters, and today we're kicking off a brand-new conversation: Fathers and Sons.While many of the same parenting principles apply to both sons and daughters, Scripture teaches that God created men and women with unique roles and responsibilities. That means our parenting approach toward sons should reflect those God-given distinctions.Whether your sons are still at home or fully grown, this conversation is for you. If you're a grandfather, these principles still apply as you influence your grandsons or encourage your adult sons in their own fatherhood journey.Impart Wisdom IntentionallyOne of the most important roles a father plays is helping his son pursue wisdom and pursue God. It's not enough to simply model wisdom; we need to have direct, intentional conversations about it.Proverbs 3:1-6 (NLT)"My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart... Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding."Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived—understood the importance of passing wisdom to the next generation. As dads, that's our responsibility too.Whether you're naturally talkative or more reserved, God calls every father to teach. This doesn't mean you need to be a Bible scholar or a polished speaker. Just be intentional.Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (NLT)"Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up."Practical ways to do this include reading the Bible together, listening to Bible-based podcasts, or using tools like the resources at pursueGOD.org.Proverbs 3:13-15 (NLT)"Joyful is the person who finds wisdom... Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her."A wise son will experience more joy and fewer regrets—whether it's about money, relationships, or making wise life choices.Teach Them to WorkFathers must teach their sons the value of hard work. Work is not a punishment—it's part of God's design for men.Genesis 2:15 (NLT)"The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it."Before sin entered the world, God gave Adam meaningful work. This shows that work is not a result of the fall—it's a fundamental part of being a man.Unfortunately, in today's culture, too many men are disengaged from the workforce. In August 2024, 6.8 million American men between ages 25 and 54 were neither working nor looking for work.As fathers, it's our job to push back...

On this episode “Better Than Fine,” host Darlene Marshall dives deep into what it takes to thrive when life gets tough, sharing her evidence-based "three keys to resilience." As so many of us navigate a world full of uncertainty, Darlene unpacks the leading research on resilience—including insights on connection, purpose, and mindset—and guides listeners on how to practically apply these powerful concepts to their own lives. Kicking things off, Darlene invites you to reflect on your own moments of struggle and introduces the foundational habits that buoy resilience: sleep, nutrition, and movement. From there, she explores why humans are truly pack animals, emphasizing the profound impact of connection—from co-regulation with others to literal sharing of resources and community. She encourages simple, actionable ways to deepen community ties and give/receive help when you need it most. Next, Darlene explores the role of purpose, prompting big questions: Why are we doing what we do? What really matters to us? She shares strategies for finding meaning day-to-day and reframing even life's chaos in more hopeful, purpose-driven ways. Finally, she highlights the essential "mindset" skills that foster solution orientation—like realistic optimism, growth mindset, and process goals—especially when we can't control the outcome. Whether you're feeling uncertain or simply want more tools to build a better, more resilient life, this episode is a practical, compassionate guide.

"You did a great job."Zh: “我终于明白，在职责中也能找到冒险的乐趣。”美琳笑着说。En: "I finally understand that you can find the thrill of adventure in fulfilling your duty," Meilin said with a smile.Zh: 当龙舟节逐渐落下帷幕，阳光依旧温柔，照耀着美琳，还有那些为梦想努力的人们。En: As the Dragon Boat Festival gradually came to a close, the sun remained gentle, shining on Meilin and those who were striving for their dreams.

Description: Katie Sturino is one of those people who makes you feel instantly braver just by being in the room. With her bold fashion choices, unfiltered honesty, and joyful presence online, the powerhouse founder of Megababe, style influencer, and unapologetic voice for body confidence has inspired so many of us to rethink how we see our bodies and ourselves. Her first book Body Talk, part memoir, part manifesto, focused on the all too important topic of learning to love the skin you're in. Now, she's back—and this time, she's putting her hand to fiction! Of course, we wanted to talk to this multi-hyphenate about what it's like flexing yet another new muscle. Katie and Jen talk about the inspiration behind Sunny Side Up, a book Jennifer Weiner has called a modern-day Bridget Jones' Diary (without the toxic self-loathing) and Katie shares what the writing process was like, an experience Katie  equated to being put through a pasta machine. She and Jen also reminisce about when they first met almost a year ago—backstage at an Oprah special and the grueling decisions they grabbed with (as so many women do for such an event)—what to wear.  Thought-provoking Quotes: “I lead with solution. That is the thing that's consistent for me because I love business. I love talking to people about the businesses they wanna start, the businesses that they're running. I like solving problems.” – Katie Sturino “We love turning on a woman online. We love it—everything from Meghan Markle dancing in birthing room and Blake Lively. We just love turning on women. It's like sport.” Katie Sturino “I don't have the MBA. I feel like most businesses that are dreamed up are done in a Harvard think tank, and I don't have that. So that's another thing that I feel insecure about, because whenever I'm up on panels or in a room full of similar founders, their stories have a really specific ladder and I'm like in my parents' garage, you know, it's different.” – Katie Sturino “Writing this book was the hardest thing I have ever done. This was awful. I'm gonna say that out loud so that if anyone out there is like, I'm gonna write a book one day—pop that bubble! Pop that bubble!

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could talk to my younger self, what vital lessons would I share about fatherhood?" "Is my 'tough guy' exterior actually holding me back from truly connecting with my kids?" "What does it really mean to lead my family with emotional authenticity?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an unfiltered, insight-packed conversation that hits at the very heart of modern fatherhood: modeling emotional openness, prioritizing genuine connection, and reimagining what leadership truly looks like at home. Today, Larry Hagner sits across the table from his son Ethan Hagner. Their deeply touching exchange is a powerful reminder of how universal the struggles of growing up and parenting really are, driven by Larry's determination to provide a steady, affectionate home—a stark contrast to his own chaotic upbringing. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this unfiltered, insight-packed conversation, we dig into: Asking for Help as a Strength: Why vulnerability and reaching out for support are ultimate acts of courage, challenging the traditional "tough guy" parenting narrative. Empathy Over Solutions: Ethan shares his journey learning to be a better listener, especially in his relationship with his girlfriend, recognizing that people often want understanding and empathy more than immediate fixes. The Power of Authentic Connection: Larry and Ethan emphasize that genuine presence and open communication are direct drivers of influence in the home, making attempts to motivate or discipline kids far more effective. The "Marriage-First" Household: A candid discussion on the profound difference a strong, loving parental relationship makes in children's development and present-day family life, even if it means "grossing the kids out with love." Don't Hold It In: The crucial message to express pain, stress, and affection openly, allowing your family to see the full, real you for true psychological safety and peace. This episode offers profound wisdom and practical takeaways for any dad looking to build a legacy of emotional health and connection. Here's what research and observation highlight about emotional openness in families: Children raised in homes with high parental emotional openness report a 35% increase in emotional intelligence and resilience. Parental modeling of asking for help is correlated with a 40% higher likelihood of children seeking support when needed, reducing feelings of isolation. Families in which parents prioritize and visibly demonstrate a strong marriage report children with 25% higher levels of emotional security and social adjustment. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

In this special re-release, I'm sharing one of my absolute favorite conversations from the early days of Unleash Your Inner Creative…an episode so dear to me, it feels like a time capsule. You'll even hear how my voice has changed, because I recorded this over six years ago, basically as a creative fetus. LOLz.This powerful episode features the incredible visual artist, podcaster, and creative entrepreneur, Amanda Oleander. If you're not familiar with her work yet, prepare to fall in love.Amanda's story is a shining example of what's possible when you take a leap of faith on your creative calling—especially when life pushes you before you feel fully ready. From raw talent to becoming the most-followed woman on Periscope, Amanda's rise is about so much more than art—it's about courage, self-belief, and embracing discomfort to create the life you're meant for.This episode made me emotional (I think it's the first time I ever cried on the pod!) and helped me reconnect with my own creative power. I know it will do the same for you.

“Those moments of connection when you can have them with people who seem so different from you on the outside, I really do think that it braids a level of connectiveness and empathy, and it is much harder to harden your heart.” — Gayle FormanWhat does it mean to rise to the occasion, not once, but over and over again? Sometimes it means reckoning with grief. Other times it means stumbling forward, messing up, and trying again. And sometimes it means simply showing up, imperfect, but still trying to be better.Gayle Forman is the bestselling author of If I Stay, Frankie & Bug, Not Nothing, Afterlife and more. Whether it's Mia in If I Stay, Alex in Not Nothing, or Amber in Afterlife, her characters often walk a jagged path toward healing, falling short, trying again, and inching closer to the people they hope to become.In this episode, Gayle talks about growing up as a self-described “odd duck,” the Ramona books that shaped her childhood and parenting, and the formative years she spent traveling solo. She opens up about why she is so drawn to flawed characters and how fiction became a way to survive grief and stay connected to the people she has lost.***For her reading challenge, Flawed, Gayle is going to bat for the prickly, messy, not-here-to-be-liked protagonists. She points out that kids are used to reading about heroes, but it can be just as powerful, maybe even more so, to read about characters who fall short and grow anyway. Peruse selected titles and Gayle's full reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/gayle-forman.This week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Lori Shallio, media specialist at Heritage Intermediate School in Middlebury, Indiana.

Third Twitter Space! Friday 20 June 2025In this episode, I examine the themes of self-awareness and responsibility, urging listeners to reflect on their willingness to admit faults. Using Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as a backdrop, I discuss the importance of questioning established beliefs and the balance between self-doubt and self-assurance. I also share insights from a discussion on the "Bronze Age Mindset," contrasting Nietzschean vitality with ethical frameworks in relationships. The conversation invites deeper exploration of masculinity, femininity, and societal narratives, advocating for character integrity and resilience in navigating moral complexities and fostering healthy connections.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
