About this listen

Are we raising strong, resilient kids—or fragile ones who crumble under pressure?

In today’s culture of over-pathologizing every discomfort as “trauma,” many well-meaning single moms are unknowingly disempowering their children. This episode dives into the difference between real resilience and performative fragility—and how you can lead your family from a place of strength, not fear.

  • Learn why anti-fragility—not just resilience—is the mindset shift every single parent needs.
  • Discover how over-labeling common childhood struggles can actually harm your child’s development.
  • Gain practical, emotionally intelligent strategies to support your kids without smothering their growth.

If you're ready to trade fragility for strength and raise kids who thrive through challenges, hit play now and dive into this eye-opening conversation.
