In this insightful conversation, Johnny Lawrence and Natalie Costa explore Netflix’s Adolescence and what it reveals about boys, emotions and growing up today.
Natalie shares her journey from teaching to coaching, including her own experience with anxiety, while Johnny and Natalie unpack the emotional challenges young boys face and why connection, emotional skills and positive role models matter so much.
They also explore how childhood experiences shape the beliefs we carry into adulthood, the importance of allowing children to feel difficult emotions, and how parents can model emotional awareness rather than emotional avoidance.
A thoughtful conversation about boys, parenting, emotional intelligence and what we can do to help the next generation become healthier, more emotionally aware adults.
Takeaways
👉 Boys need emotional skills, connection and positive role models—not just encouragement to “toughen up.”
👉 Children need to know that difficult emotions are safe to feel, rather than something they need to avoid or suppress.
👉 Unconditional love and feeling understood play a huge role in developing a child’s sense of self-worth.
👉 Parents teach emotional awareness through what they model, not just what they tell their children.
👉 Healthy emotional development isn’t about avoiding discomfort—it’s about learning how to sit with it, process it and recover.
