Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/  In today's Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from my conversation on the Mind Pump Podcast about a crisis that most parents don't want to discuss, but absolutely must - the digital destruction of childhood. The average age a child first encounters pornography online is 10 years old. Ten. And today's kids get less sunlight than prisoners do. We also tackle the controversial but essential topic of traditional gender roles in parenting. Why do kids misbehave 900% more in front of their mothers? And how are single parents supposed to navigate providing both structure and nurturing? This isn't about being "old-fashioned" - it's about understanding that our well-intentioned move away from traditional parenting roles may be contributing to the anxiety and fragility we see in kids today. What we discuss: Why Kids Today Get Less Sunlight Than Prisoners How Pornography Creates Drug-Like Effects on Developing Brains Why Tech Creators Won't Let Their Own Kids Use Social Media The Casino Algorithm: How Apps Are Designed to Addict Children Why Kids Misbehave 900% More in Front of Their Mothers How Single Parents Can Balance Structure and Nurturing The Rise of Phone-Free Schools and Digital Detox Movements How Gen Z is Returning to Traditional Christianity for Structure Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

Think you need to be a "natural" to be a powerful speaker? Think again. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Lisa Nichols, a transformational speaker, who breaks down exactly how anyone can go from terrified of speaking to magnetically captivating an audience. We discuss the four types of speakers and why most people get stuck in the "information trap." Lisa reveals her signature "scooping" technique that makes audiences see themselves in your story, and explains why we're now living in an influence economy where connection trumps credentials every time. Lisa Nichols is a transformational speaker, CEO, and New York Times bestselling author who co-authored The Secret and multiple Chicken Soup for the Soul books. She's built a multi-million dollar company and has spoken to over 3 million people worldwide. She now dedicates her time to teaching others how to master their message.  What We Discuss:  (00:15) Why information doesn't inspire and the #1 mistake speakers make  (03:00) The 4 types of speakers: Which one are you?  (05:34) How to make any audience see themselves in you (the "scooping" technique)  (11:01) How to pull a powerful story out of your life experiences  (12:00) Show vs. tell: The storytelling technique that moves rooms  (17:32) The personality trait that's often misunderstood in successful people  (19:30) How Lisa handles massive business failures and still trusts herself  (20:47) The $5 million fraud that nearly destroyed her company  (29:03) Why storytelling is the most important skill in today's influence economy (34:56) Why your lived-through story no longer belongs to you …and more!

Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/  Team sports aren't just about physical fitness - they're a masterclass in life preparation. In this Fitness Friday excerpt from my Mind Pump Podcast conversation, we dive into why putting your kids in team sports between ages 3-10 is absolutely critical for their development. We discuss how sports serve as a microcosm of life, teaching kids essential lessons about failure, merit-based performance, and working with difficult people. From learning that someone will always be better than you to discovering natural leadership qualities, sports provide irreplaceable real-world education that no classroom can replicate. Tune in to discover why the "everybody wins" mentality is robbing children of crucial life lessons and how modern parenting trends are creating a generation unprepared for real-world challenges. What we discuss: Why Team Sports Are Essential Between Ages 3-10 The Dangerous Rise of "Everybody Wins" Culture in Youth Sports How Sports Teach Kids That Someone Will Always Be Better Why Parents Are Ruining Sports by Praising Talent Over Effort The Problem with Moving Kids to "Easier" Teams How NIL Deals Are Destroying Loyalty in College Sports Why Sports Are Practice for the Game of Life The Lost Art of Sitting on the Bench and Supporting Teammates How to Use Sports to Build Natural Leadership Skills Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

Think you need to be broken to benefit from deep personal transformation work? Think again. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I talk with Jim Curtis, a growth strategist and master hypnotist, who explains how even high-achieving, control-oriented people can become their most powerful selves.  We dive into what he calls "mind traps" and how childhood trauma shaped his intuitive abilities. We also discuss why authentic masculine energy is desperately needed in today's world, and how hypnosis can rewire deep-seated beliefs in ways traditional therapy can't touch. Jim Curtis is a growth strategist, master hypnotist, and former VC executive who helps high achievers break through mental barriers and step into their most powerful selves. After overcoming a life-changing illness at 21, he discovered his gift for reading people and facilitating deep healing through a combination of practical psychology, NLP, and spiritual connection.

Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/  While we're trying harder than ever to be "good parents," we're accidentally raising the most fragile generation in history. In today’s Fitness Friday episode, I’m sharing an excerpt from my conversation on the Mind Pump Podcast about how to raise resilient kids.  We share the alarming statistics showing skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide among young people, while exploring how our well-intentioned parenting methods may be doing more harm than good. From the elimination of boredom to the rise of helicopter parenting, we discuss how we've shifted from a "challenge culture" to a "coddle culture" - and why that's backfiring spectacularly. Tune in today to learn the shocking impact of smartphones and social media on childhood development, including how technology has robbed kids of essential social skills and real-world experiences that build resilience. What we discuss: Why Kids Are More Fragile and Anxious Than Ever Before The Real Problem with Modern "Gentle Parenting" Culture How We've Created a Coddle Culture vs. Challenge Culture Why Eliminating Boredom is Destroying Children's Creativity The Smartphone Crisis: How Technology Killed Childhood Why 26% of Gen Z Bring Parents to Job Interviews How Social Media Destroyed Real-World Social Skills The Pornography Epidemic Starting at Age 10 Why Kids Need to Experience Failure and Frustration The Connection Between Screen Time and Rising Mental Health Issues Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.
