Are your kids worried about being embarrassed publicly- and could that be a good thing?

In this conversation, Steve Alessi and his daughter Lauren dig into the reality of public humiliation and why facing mean words, awkward moments, and even a little embarrassment can actually build resilience in kids.

You'll hear some not-so-flattering stories —from cringey PE memories to viral Snapchat moments—and get honest tips on teaching mental toughness, healthy self-talk, and why a “marathon mindset” matters more than sprinting for quick wins.

Perfect for parents and young adults, this conversation brings fresh insight on how overcoming small humiliations can set kids up for long-term confidence, healthy boundaries, and a better sense of self in an always-on digital age.
