Is it possible that our well-intentioned desire to protect our kids is actually holding them back?
In this episode, I sit down with 3 time Olympian and mom Nina Saudauskas to talk about the surprising truth behind resilience—and how we build it in our kids. From embracing controlled discomfort to learning when not to rescue, Nina shares the powerful lessons she’s learned through parenting, sport, and letting go of perfection.
We explore:
Why resilience isn’t something you're born with—and how to help kids develop it
The difference between “tough love” and safe challenge
How sitting with our child’s discomfort can be the most loving thing we do
The long-term power of saying “You’ve got this” instead of “Let me help you”
How to cheer for your kids without tying your love to their performance
Real talk on setbacks, sports burnout, and redefining success
If you've ever wondered how to raise strong, emotionally resilient kids without becoming a drill sergeant or a helicopter parent, this one’s for you.
