🎙️ Welcome to The Resilience Movement Podcast — I’m your host, Donna Moulds, and I’m so glad you’re here.

This podcast is about more than just “getting through” tough times — it’s about rising, rebuilding, and reclaiming the life you deserve. We’re here for the deep work — not surface-level positivity or quick fixes. Because when life knocks you down, you don’t need platitudes… you need tools, truth, and people who’ve walked the path.

Resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t — it’s something you build, moment by moment, choice by choice.

And today, we’re leaning into a conversation that’s long overdue — a raw, honest look at men’s mental health, emotional well-being, and what it really means for a man to take the lead in his own life — not just in career or fitness or finance — but internally.

And to help us unpack this, I’m joined by someone who walks this talk every day.

He’s a certified coach, a straight-shooter, and someone I deeply admire for the way he holds space for men to come home to themselves — with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Please welcome to The Resilience Movement, Stephen Cole — the founder of Emotional Wisdom and a powerful voice in the movement to change the way men see themselves and each other.

Lets Talk Mens Wellbeing, Relationships with Steve Cole - Emotional Wisdom

In this episode, we’ll explore Stephen’s personal story — what led him to coach men, and why this work matters now more than ever.

We’ll talk about the silent weight many men carry — the pressure to perform, to provide, to hold it all together — and the cost of never being taught how to process, feel, or express what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Stephen shares insight into the emotional barriers many men face, how he creates safety in his coaching spaces, and what it looks like when a man finally gives himself permission to be both strong and soft, capable and vulnerable.

We also talk legacy — how this inner work transforms not only men’s lives, but how they show up in fatherhood, in their relationships, and in the impact they leave behind.

If you’re a man who’s been pushing through, or someone who loves one — this episode is for you.

Let’s dive in.

🎙️ Episode Title: Don’t Let Your Story Keep You Small
Host: Donna Moulds | The Resilience Movement

Have you ever felt like your past disqualified you from becoming who you truly are? That your mistakes, your pain, your story — somehow made you less than? In this raw and reflective episode, Donna shares her personal journey through divorce, family estrangement, guilt, and the deep process of self-forgiveness.

She opens up about the shame that shaped her identity and the moments that triggered a shift — including a life-changing quote from Brené Brown and learning to embrace gratitude in its simplest form.

✨ Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is let go of the story that tells us we’re not enough.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why shame and guilt can be the most debilitating emotions we carry
• How generational expectations shaped Donna’s early beliefs about marriage and failure
• The moment she realised healing had to start with her — not with everyone else
• The quiet power of gratitude to soften pain, even when life still feels messy
• Why forgiveness — especially self-forgiveness — is not for others, but for you

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t a straight line, and you don’t need to have it all together to begin. Your story doesn’t make you small. It makes you wise. And your voice just might be the light someone else is waiting for.

💬 If this touched something in you, I’d love to hear from you.
Message me, share your story, or let me know what part resonated.

Until next time — keep softening where you can, and never let your story keep you small.

🎙️ Episode: How to Stay Resilient in a Toxic Workplace

Toxic workplaces can leave you feeling drained, disrespected, and disconnected—but you don’t have to lose yourself in the chaos. In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to stay resilient when you're surrounded by gossip, manipulation, or poor leadership. Because the truth is, your peace is worth protecting.

Inspired by Michelle Obama’s words, “When they go low, we go high,” we unpack how you can rise above without falling apart. You’ll learn why toxic behavior takes such a toll on your mental and emotional health—and more importantly, how to keep your energy grounded and your values intact.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• What defines a toxic workplace
• How toxicity affects your mindset and self-worth
• Why staying silent vs. speaking up comes with risk—and strategy
• How to confide in the right people without fuelling more drama
• Tools to help you stay calm, focused, and aligned with your truth

This is for anyone who has ever:

✔️ Walked on eggshells at work
✔️ Felt the emotional weight of dysfunction
✔️ Been labelled for calling out poor behavior
✔️ Needed a reminder of their worth and their power

You’ll also hear how documenting facts, setting boundaries, and choosing when not to react can actually be your greatest strength.

💭 Remember: you win when you stop playing their game. You win when you choose your response with intention, not emotion. And sometimes… you win by walking away with your head held high.

If this conversation resonates, I’d love to hear what part hit home for you.

👂 Listen now and reclaim your power—because your peace is not up for negotiation.
