What was actually said
Enjoy this talk, and I know you will too, right now. We're not saying that we're going to snow plow obstacles out of their way. We're saying how do we teach them what it really looks like to cultivate resilience, to know what it feels to be in a hard feeling, to experience something hard, and move through it and process it, and come out on the other side instead of just bearing it down or building resentment.
