Episode 353: Helping Your Kids Move From Feeling to Fact with Dr. Lee Warren
This episode features a powerful conversation with neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren about trauma, faith, and the science of hope. Drawing from his experience serving in Iraq, battling PTSD, and losing his teenage son, Dr. Warren shares how we can’t always control what happens to us—but we can influence how we experience it. Through the lens of his book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, he explains the neuroscience of neuroplasticity and how changing our thoughts can literally reshape our brains. Together, they explore how parents can help kids build agency, resilience, and real capability by teaching them to challenge their thoughts, pause before reacting, and grow stronger through hardship.
Here is a transcript of episode 353.
