Are you exhausted from "firefighting" your way through kinship care? As the Invisible CEO of your home, it’s easy to get addicted to the speed of crisis. But trauma isn't healed with gasoline; it’s healed with the slow, steady burn of an Oak Log.
In this boardroom session, author and mentor Jake Knox joins Laura Brazan to discuss the quiet work of building foundations. We explore why "boring" is actually a leadership superpower and how to reimprint a child’s brain with stability through the power of the "campfire."
In this episode:
The Gasoline Trap: Why we mistake momentum for meaning.
Tending the Coals: How to create predictability for traumatized children.
Meeting Them Where They Are: The art of the 2-minute mentorship conversation.
The "Oak Log" Audit: Choosing sustainability over intensity.
