Bullying isn’t just a school playground problem - it follows people into adulthood, workplaces, relationships, and even our own inner dialogue.

In this raw episode of Power Within, we open up about our own experiences of being bullied, reflecting on how it shaped us, toughened us, and still impacts how we move through the world today. We also explore a powerful twist most parents overlook: What if your child is the one doing the bullying?

From playground punch-ups to verbal attacks in the workplace, we talk about how to tell the difference between banter and bullying, and how silence, sarcasm, or sharp one-liners can sometimes hold more power than retaliation.

You'll also hear us share a heart-breaking story from a client whose bullying trauma followed her into adulthood holding the belief that being “the best” will finally make it stop.

This conversation might be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary.

We talk parenting, social media, adult confrontation, gender and sexuality discrimination, and the importance of creating safe spaces - at home, at work, and in our own heads.

For anyone who’s been bullied, has a child navigating school, or is ready to rewrite their role in someone else's story, take a listen to this episode.
