Have you ever thought, “My story doesn’t matter” or “Nobody wants to hear what I’ve been through”? You’re not alone — but you’re wrong.

In this episode of Resilient Talks w/ Nat Martin, I break down why every person has a story worth sharing. Whether you’ve faced adversity, loss, trauma, success, or transformation — your story carries lessons, inspiration, and hope that someone else desperately needs.

Sharing your story isn’t just about helping others. It’s also a form of healing for yourself. When you tell your story, you release it from your mind and heart, and you begin transforming pain into purpose.

👉 What you’ll take away:

• Why storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for resilience

• How to know when you’re ready to share (and when you’re not)

• Why your story doesn’t need a big platform, title, or following to matter

• How vulnerability creates real connection

• Why your voice is your superpower

This episode is a call to action: if you’ve been sitting on your story, it’s time to start sharing it. Whether it’s in a journal, a conversation, or on a podcast, don’t underestimate the impact your story can have.

What does resilience look like through the eyes of a teenager? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my son, Nasir, to explore the powerful lessons he’s learned about bouncing back, pushing through, and staying motivated — even when life gets tough.

From balancing academics and sports to dealing with everyday challenges, Nasir shares how he uses tools like music, goal-setting, and breaking big goals into smaller steps to stay focused. His message is simple but powerful: Keep going. Tough it out.

This episode is filled with wisdom that applies to all ages. Whether you’re a teen navigating school and identity, a parent supporting your child, or a leader guiding others, you’ll walk away inspired by Nasir’s words.

👉 What you’ll take away:

• A teen’s raw perspective on resilience

• How young people can develop “mental toolboxes” for tough times

• The role of mindset, goals, and small steps in creating momentum

• The reminder that perseverance isn’t complicated: it’s a daily choice

✨ Parents, mentors, youth leaders — this episode is a great reminder of how resilience can be cultivated at any stage of life. Teens and young adults — this one is for you, from someone who’s right there in the journey.

💪 Always be amazing. Always be resilient.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I reflect on the power of giving people their flowers while they’re still alive — honoring, celebrating, and thanking the ones who have shaped our lives.

For over 20 years in the military and beyond, I’ve celebrated others — from baby showers to retirements — but rarely felt celebrated myself. In this conversation, I share what it’s like to give endlessly, to hold onto a forever flower from my son, and to learn how gratitude, even for pain and betrayal, can grow resilience.

✨ You’ll take away:

• Why waiting until someone is gone is too late to honor them

• How to start celebrating yourself, not just others

• The role gratitude (even toward hardships) plays in building resilience

• A reminder to give thanks and appreciation now

This is your call to action: 🌸 Say thank you today. Celebrate today. Give flowers today.
