In this episode of Discover Resilience, Shay and Casey sit down with Soraya Sutherlin, certified emergency manager and founder and CEO of Emergency Management Safety Partners, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to prepare for the unexpected. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience supporting crisis response, disaster planning, and public safety, Soraya shares how resilience starts long before an emergency happens, especially when it comes to helping children build the language, confidence, and skills to stay safe.From teaching kids situational awareness and emergency basics in age-appropriate ways to creating family conversations that make preparedness feel normal rather than scary, this episode explores how parents and caregivers can empower the next generation. Thoughtful, practical, and deeply personal, this conversation is a reminder that resilience is built at home, one conversation at a time.
