Today’s episode is a very raw, candid and at times emotional conversation with Daniel Wilsher, who at a very early age faced the tough challenge of navigating loss during those formative years. Through the support of his peers, and his love for music, he was able to begin to shift his mindset and move beyond victimhood… to see vulnerability as a strength.

Powered by the lessons accumulated during his own journey, Daniel founded LivEdX Learning, a company specialising in leadership and wellbeing programmes that are designed to help deliver social impact by human connection. He is also the founder of the alcohol-free, nootropical Orb Drinks, has spoken at TEDx and is a former finalist for Channel 4’s The Piano. Daniel now speaks across the UK, advocating for institutional and cultural change for young men and how we can help them develop emotional intelligence in a safe and supportive environment.

Daniel and I speak about:

🔹Is society in a connection crisis?

🔹Modern challenges facing kids at school

🔹How can we encourage people to ask for help

🔹The role of music and creativity in overcoming trauma

🔹Resisting help (and the mindset shift that can change that)

And much more…

Enjoy this insightful conversation with Daniel Wilsher.

Hi, I’m Natalie Costa - an award-winning coach, author, speaker, and the founder of Power Thoughts.

After 17 years of working with over 50,000 children and their families, one thing has become clear:

We live in a world where we’re more digitally connected than ever...
yet we’re feeling more emotionally disconnected than ever before.

- We’re constantly scrolling.
- Sending messages.
- Jumping on video calls.
- Parenting with our village stretched thin.
- And, let’s be honest, feeling more lonely than we ever expected.

And we’re trying to raise children in the middle of all of that.

This podcast is about changing the conversation.

It’s about raising emotionally secure, resilient, connected humans in a world that keeps pulling us away from presence.

It’s not by chasing perfection. and it’s not about staying calm at all costs, but by doing the deeper work - learning to feel, taking radical responsibility, and leading with empathy… even when it’s hard!

And yes - that means parenting yourself, as you’re raising your children.

Now this is not your typical parenting podcast.

Yes, we’ll talk about children (a lot!)
But we’ll also talk about you.

Because connection starts with the person in the mirror.

When you develop the emotional fitness to stay present with your feelings (even the hard ones) everything changes.
How you parent, how you lead and how you show up in the world.

If we want to raise a generation of connected humans, children who feel safe in who they are, connected to others, and able to care about the world around them, we have to start by supporting the people raising them.

That means you.
The parent. The caregiver. The teacher. The auntie. The uncle. The leader.

We all have a role to play in what comes next.

So if you’re ready for honest conversations, practical tools, and a deeper take on connection, presence, and emotional fitness —
you’re in the right place.

This is Connected.
And we’re just getting started.
