"I tend to correct people, when they say ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’ well actually the grass is greener wherever you water it. And if you choose to water it in your own lawn, it’s gonna look great! But if your attention is elsewhere your lawns gonna suffer. So you can focus on yourself, you can look at what you do have. You will notice you have so much more than what you don't have. It’s this cool thing called gratitude. And when you feel gratitude you no longer feel the need to compare yourself endlessly.

Our brains physiologically can’t feel two emotions at the same time, your amygdala can only process one emotion at a time. So if you’re actively engaged in practicing gratitude your brain cannot experience anxiety and depression at the same time.”

Welcome to the second episode of the Project Young Hearts podcast! 

This is a podcast that asks What does it mean to be an empowered, heart-driven human? How can we navigate self-doubt and external pressures so that we can make courageous choices, step up and create an impact in the world?

Today I’m joined by Nate Webb.  Nate Webb is a bully expert, a resiliency trainer, a professional School counselor, and a certified digital safety educator. Nate endured relentless bullying as a kid. Bullies and social media almost ruined his life. Drawing from his experiences and from his studies as a professional school counselor and digital safety educator, he passionately educates schools about the dangers of social media, and how to transform their culture into a culture of kindness. He helps kids to get over bullies, get off social media, and love their lives.

This podcast is extra special because we want to feature audio contributions from you—the Project Young Hearts community. We want to hear your voice, as parents or custodians of young hearts AND the voices of tweens and teens. Learn more about contributing here.

I’m so excited to share this powerful conversation and community with you, the Project Young Hearts fam. We are all in this together.
