Episode #192. Interview with Dr Jane Foster on emotional resilience

In this conversation, Shelley speaks with Dr. Jane Foster about emotional resilience, drawing on Dr. Foster's four decades of experience as a teacher and educator in Australia and internationally.

Throughout her career, Dr. Foster observed the destructive impact of a culture dominated by blame, criticism and judgment. She's expresses that emotions are fundamental to life but classifying them as good or bad leads to judgment. Instead, she proposes using terms like rough and smooth to avoid judgment and build resilience.

She notes that while it is natural to want to shield others from rough experiences, these challenges are crucial for developing the skills to regain and maintain control.

Join Shelley and Dr. Foster as they explore how everyday changes in language and approach can foster a more resilient and supportive culture.
