Breaking Bullying

Most people think martial arts is just about punches and kicks.
But for many kids… it’s where confidence starts.

In this new episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I sit down with Michael Matsuda, founder of the Martial Arts History Museum, to talk about bullying, confidence, emotional control, and why martial arts impacts kids differently than many traditional sports programs.

We also share personal stories about struggling with confidence growing up and how martial arts changed our lives.

What happens when a child grows up surrounded by violence, gangs, fighting, and constant school suspensions?

In Episode 95 of Breaking Bullying, Madison Phillips shares how being the “new kid” in violent school environments led to bullying, pressure to join gangs, and eventually being jumped by over 20 students at school.

But this episode is about more than violence.

It’s about how environment shapes behavior… and how caring adults can completely change a child’s future.

This was a powerful conversation about survival, school culture, bullying, resilience, and overcoming adversity.

People think bullying ends after school.
It doesn’t.

In this episode of Breaking Bullying, I talk with Wade Simmons about his experience being bullied as an adult while training in pro wrestling.

This wasn’t physical.
It was public embarrassment, pressure, and mental games.

We break down:
• what adult bullying actually looks like
• why it’s not always easy to respond
• and how to handle it without making things worse

This is something more people deal with than we realize.

Bullied as an Adult in Pro Wrestling

Most bullying today isn’t happening face to face.

It’s happening in group chats.
In video games.
On social media where there’s no break from it.

I sat down with Terrence Little Gardenhigh, Jakari Fraser, and Trinity Fraser to hear directly from them on what kids are actually dealing with right now.

Not what we think is happening.
What’s really happening.

And more importantly… how they handle it.

This is one of those conversations every parent should hear.

Most parents think they know what bullying looks like.

Until it’s their child.

In this episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I sit down with Rosie Thames as she shares what happened when both of her kids experienced bullying at school… and why it led to one of the hardest decisions a parent can make.

This isn’t just about awareness.

It’s about what happens when the bullying doesn’t stop… and what you do next.

I will be honest, in this one I did more listening than talking.

Doreen Alvarez shares a powerful and real story about domestic violence, and it is a reminder that abuse is about power and control, just like bullying.

If this helps even one person understand what to look for or when to speak up, it is worth it.

When bullying becomes a serious problem, some families start asking a tough question:

Is homeschooling a better option?

In this week’s episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I talk with educator and IncludEducation founder MrJames Doesitall about why some families make that decision and what homeschooling actually looks like today.

This isn’t about bashing schools. It’s about having an honest conversation about safety, confidence, and the options families have when bullying isn’t being resolved.
