What does real strength actually look like for teenagers today?

In this episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner breaks down the 5 Pillars of Strength that help teens (and adults) build confidence, emotional resilience, and long-term success — without pretending life is easy.

This isn’t about being tough all the time.
It’s about learning how to use one second of strength when it matters most.

• Courage – Doing the hard thing even when fear is loud

• Vulnerability – Being real instead of pretending you’re fine

• Empathy – Understanding others without losing yourself

• Resilience – Getting back up when life knocks you down

• Consistency – Small daily actions that build real confidence over time

Rather than trying to “fix everything,” Tanner challenges listeners to choose just one or two pillars and start there.
One second of courage.
One honest conversation.
One small act of consistency.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or unsure of yourself — this episode gives you a new definition of strength and a practical way to start building it today.

This episode offers language you can use at home to talk about strength, confidence, and emotional growth — without lectures or pressure.

• Why strength isn’t about perfection or confidence

• How one second of courage can change your direction

• Which pillar to focus on when life feels heavy

• How small habits quietly build unshakable resilience

• Why vulnerability is not weakness — it’s leadership

You don’t need to master all five pillars at once.
You just need one moment of intention.

🎧 Listen in, choose your pillar, and take your next Second of Strength.
