In this first part of the Season 3 closer, I’m speaking from the heart — no guest — about how this season’s conversations have impacted me personally.
Some moments have stirred memories from my own journey, while others have sparked fresh insight into what these stories could mean for your own life.
From unseen grief in children to the myth that “kids are just resilient,” I share clips from a few guests — and reflect on my own experiences — that reveal the invisible weight kids can carry, even when everything looks fine on the outside.
This is a heartfelt, behind-the-scenes look at some of Season 3’s themes, setting the stage for Part 2 of this closer, where I’ll highlight a few of the “gold nuggets” from these conversations. These are real-life stories with the potential to become practical resources Resilient Souls hopes to create — helping parents, teachers, and friends turn insight into real-life help for those walking through life’s storms.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why kids often carry more grief and stress than adults always realise — and how it can stay hidden.
The personal moments from Stewart’s life that this season’s conversations stirred up, and what they taught him.
Clips from guest stories from Season 3 that reveal the quiet, unseen weight kids can carry. Why the old saying “kids are resilient” can be misleading without the right support.
How noticing and being present can change a child’s (or adult’s) journey through pain.
… and much more!
