0:02.2	I think there's so much of our lives today that involves blame that's pejorative.
0:07.0	And it would be easy to look at a teacher, say, who's reacting in a punitive, hostile manner to a student and judge them and say that there's something wrong with them.
0:17.2	But I think what's really important is to understand how and why these questions come up for all of us in circumstances, whether it's a question like, does my partner really love me when you're having a conflict conversation, or whether it's a question like, is this kid just an F up as they come back to school from juvenile detention?

1:26.7	listener or joining us for the first time,
1:29.3	I am so deeply grateful that you're here.
1:32.0	You've tuned into a movement dedicated to unlocking your potential,
1:36.0	living with intention, and making what truly matters matter most.
1:40.4	Before we dive in, let's take a moment to reflect
1:42.7	on an incredible conversation from earlier this week.
1:46.0	I sat down with organizational psychologist and bestselling author Tasha Yurek to explore her groundbreaking new book, Shatterproof.
1:54.0	We dug into what it means to be truly self-aware and how resilience isn't about being unbreakable.
