🚢 The Ship Only Sinks if You Let Water In - Kid's Version
🕒 Episode Length: 17 minutes 08 seconds

Have you ever felt like mean words or failure might sink you? What if you had the power to keep sailing strong—no matter what others say?

In this episode of Capes & Conversations, we talk about how you are the captain of your own ship. You’ll learn how to stop letting the negativity of others weigh you down, and how to keep showing up—just like your favorite heroes do!

✨ In this episode, we talk about:
⚓ What it means to “displace” negativity—like a real ship does with water.
🛡️ How to protect yourself when someone says something mean.
🏋️‍♀️ Why resilience (doing hard things even when it’s tough) is your superpower.
🎯 Why it’s important to stop comparing yourself to others.
🌱 How to grow a skill, a strength, or a dream with consistency.

💬 Real Talk Examples:
— How Luisa from Encanto, Mulan, Spider-Man, and Harry Potter each kept going, even when things were scary or hard.
— How to find your own gifts and keep trying until it clicks.

💡 Hero’s Reminder:
You can’t always control what others say or do—but you can control what you believe about yourself. When you focus on who you are, what you love, and what you’re capable of, you’ll keep floating strong.

🛠️ Try This:
🌟 Think of one thing you’re good at or love to do.
🌟 Do it for just 5 minutes a day this week—no matter what!
🌟 Remember: you get better at anything by showing up, not being perfect.
