🎙️ 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.

The Mirror We Hold – Modeling Self-Love for Our Children

🧡 Episode Summary:

In today’s deeply personal episode, I share a moment that changed my life — the day I realised that how I was treating myself was teaching my children how to treat themselves.

This one is for every mother who’s ever said:

Because here’s the truth that hit me like a tidal wave:
How could I expect them to do that… if I wasn’t showing them how?

I was staying silent to keep the peace.
I was overgiving.
I was putting myself last.
And while I thought I was being strong and loving — I was modeling self-sacrifice, not self-worth.

💔 The guilt and shame I felt when that awareness landed was overwhelming.
It was a level of confronting I wasn’t prepared for — and it almost crushed me.

But that moment of truth? It became my turning point.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The hidden messages we pass down to our children through our own self-worth
• How I found myself in therapy, unlearning generational patterns
• Why self-love is not selfish — it’s legacy work
• The simple, powerful shifts I made that changed how my children see themselves (and me)

If you’re a parent who’s ever questioned how to raise emotionally healthy kids — this episode is for you.

It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s real-life growth.

💬 I also leave you with a reflection:
What are your children learning from how you treat yourself?

You are not behind. You are not broken.
And it’s never too late to start again — with love.

Episode Title: Boundaries – The Lines That Set Us Free
🕒 Runtime: Approx. 35 minutes

Have you ever felt like you’re always giving but never receiving? Like people take your time, your energy, even your kindness—and leave you feeling drained, overlooked, or resentful?

This episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop abandoning themselves in the name of keeping the peace. 💥

In this powerful conversation, we’re diving into: ✨ What healthy boundaries really are (and what they’re not)
✨ Why so many of us struggle to set them
✨ The impact of living without boundaries—emotionally, physically, and spiritually
✨ How to start setting clear, kind, and firm boundaries
✨ The transformation that happens when you finally choose YOU

I also share some of my own stories—the moments when I had no boundaries and how that shaped my relationships, my work, and my self-worth… and what changed when I finally learned to draw the line. 🛑

Setting boundaries isn’t about being rude—it’s about being real. And protecting your peace is never something you need to feel guilty for.

🌟 When You Feel Invisible 🌟

This is for the woman who’s ever looked in the mirror and quietly asked…
“Where did I go?” 💭

For the mums, caregivers, career jugglers — the ones who’ve spent decades showing up for everyone else 👩‍👧‍👦👩‍💻
And suddenly realise... they feel unseen. 🙇‍♀️

That quiet sense of invisibility can sneak in as we age.
The world stops noticing.
Roles shift.
And you wonder where you fit in your own life. 😞

✨ I’ve been there.
After turning 50 — my kids were grown, my marriage ended, my career had shifted — I felt like I’d faded into the background.
And I wasn’t alone. So many women feel this.

💥 But here’s the truth:
You’re not meant to fade.
You’re allowed to take up space again.
You can find yourself — and fall in love with your life all over again.

Let’s talk about how.
Here are 10 powerful ways to shine the light back on YOU 🔦👇

1️⃣ Acknowledge the feeling — without shame. 💬
2️⃣ Reconnect with your story — journal, reflect, remember who you are. 📝
3️⃣ Move your body — walk, dance, stretch, shift your energy. 💃
4️⃣ Curate your space — update your environment to reflect the real you. 🛋️
5️⃣ Practice mirror work — “I see you. You matter.” ❤️
6️⃣ Try something new — say YES to what excites you. 🎨
7️⃣ Start saying NO — protect your energy. 🛑
8️⃣ Surround yourself with expanders — those who inspire you. 🌈
9️⃣ Speak your dreams out loud — give them life. 🔊
🔟 Act as if it’s already happening — and let gratitude lead the way. 🙏

🌍 When I walked the Camino across Spain, I found more than my strength — I found me. That journey reminded me what’s possible when you stop shrinking and start shining again. 🌅

This week, choose just ONE of these steps.
Even if it feels small. Even if it feels scary.
Because…

💫 You deserve to be seen.
💫 You deserve to SEE yourself.
💫 You’re not too old.
💫 You’re not too late.
You’re just getting started.

💛 Tag a friend who needs this reminder today.
Let’s rise together.

You’re just getting started.

🎙 Welcome back to The Resilience Movement Podcast! I’m your host, Donna Moulds, and today, we’re diving into a game-changer—creating a vision for your future, even when it’s unclear. If you keep looking back, you’ll stay stuck. So, how do we design a future that excites us, even without all the answers? Let’s talk about it.

🚀 The Power of Vision
Imagine setting out on a road trip with no map, GPS, or clear destination—just a vague idea of wanting something better. Stressful, right? Yet, that’s how many of us approach life! We dwell on past mistakes, regrets, and lost opportunities. But what keeps us stuck isn’t the past itself—it’s our attachment to it. The key to moving forward is designing a vision that pulls you ahead instead of letting the past weigh you down.

🌟 Seeing Your Future – Even When It’s Unclear
You don’t need all the details to start moving forward. Clarity comes from action, not waiting.

• Instead of focusing on what you don’t want, shift to what you do want.
• Ask: How do I want to feel? What kind of life excites me?
• Create a vision board, write it down, or close your eyes and visualize yourself thriving. Even if it feels distant, see it.

💡 Feeling Your Future – The Emotional Blueprint
Your mind responds to emotions. Thinking about your future keeps it an idea, but feeling it makes it real.

• Imagine waking up in that future—confident, fulfilled, financially secure. What does it feel like?
• The more you immerse yourself in that feeling, the more your brain believes it’s possible. And when you believe it’s possible, you start making decisions that align with that vision.

🎯 Acting on Your Future – Small Steps, Big Impact
Here’s where most people get stuck—they see the vision, feel the excitement, but don’t act because they’re waiting for certainty. But certainty is a myth. The only way to create your future is by taking action, even when the path isn’t clear.

• Start where you are, with what you have.
• Make decisions from where you want to be, not where you’ve been.
• Surround yourself with people who inspire growth.

Every action, no matter how small, moves you closer to your future.

🔥 Final Words – You Hold the Pen
Your past is just a chapter—it’s not the whole book. You hold the pen. You decide what happens next.

When others don’t believe in you, it’s crucial to believe in yourself more, not less. On this episode of The Resilience Movement podcast, I dive into why self-belief is the cornerstone of resilience. It’s that inner voice that whispers, “I’ve got this,” even when external voices say otherwise.

People’s doubts often reflect their own fears, not your potential. Their perspective doesn’t define you; only you can do that. I’ll share actionable strategies to turn doubt into determination, such as reframing negative feedback into fuel for growth and celebrating small wins to prove your capability.

Building a supportive circle of belief-builders is essential. Surround yourself with mentors, friends, and communities that uplift you. Let go of toxic relationships and lean into those who encourage and inspire. Resilience isn’t built in isolation; it thrives within a network of support.

Daily practices like affirmations, journaling, and visualization can fortify self-belief. And setbacks? They’re not derailments but lessons to refine your approach. Every failure is a stepping stone toward greater strength and success.

I’ll share personal stories of overcoming doubt and finding the courage to keep going, illustrating how resilience transforms adversity into triumph. Remember, your belief in yourself is your most powerful tool. When others don’t see your potential, prove it to yourself instead.

If this message resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories about overcoming doubt. Connect with me on social media or through the podcast website, and don’t forget to subscribe and share this episode. Together, we can empower a world of resilient individuals. Until next time, keep believing in your limitless potential. 🌟
