Breaking the Cycle: Empowering Teens Through Strength and Vulnerability with Tanner Clark

When I sat down with Tanner Clark — speaker, mentor, and founder of One Second of Strength — I knew this conversation would be a lifeline for parents, teens, and anyone navigating the pressure of today’s culture.

Tanner opens up about the battles young people are facing: the weight of comparison, the silent struggles with self-worth, and the cycle of destructive patterns that keep so many stuck. With honesty and vulnerability, he shares how strength isn’t about having it all together — it’s about finding courage in the moment, choosing differently, and breaking cycles that no longer serve us.

In this episode, we dig into: ✅ Why vulnerability is the missing piece to raising confident, resilient teens. ✅ The daily practices that help kids and parents alike build true inner strength. ✅ How one second of courage can change the entire direction of your story. ✅ Practical steps to shift from shame and secrecy into connection and empowerment.

Whether you’re a parent, mentor, or someone who just needs to be reminded of your own strength, this episode will leave you with tools and hope for creating a healthier, stronger next generation.
