Is your child really resilient—or just avoiding discomfort?
Kate Mason is joined by former SAS commander, crisis leadership expert, and co-author of The Resilient Shield, Tim Curtis.
Together, they unpack what true resilience looks like in both kids and adults—beyond the buzzword.
With compelling stories from Tim’s military background and personal parenting journey, they explore how stress, failure, adaptability, and connection are essential to building long-term mental strength.
You’ll hear why resilience is a skill, not a trait—and what practical steps parents can take today to build it, starting with letting their kids struggle just a little.
