The Pursuit of Health Podcast

64% of U.S. adults have had adverse childhood experiences.

A stark statistic, and one that we are paying the cultural and economic cost of.

As this week’s guest Julika von Stackelberg tells us, these experiences in our youth have a direct impact on our life expectancy and wellbeing in our lives.

Through her work as a peaceful parenting advisor and educator with the Cornell Cooperative Extension, Julika is on a mission to empower young people and parents, nurture a community-led approach to raising our children, and help us all better self-regulate our feelings and actions.

She takes us through some key definitions, outlines some trauma-informed initiatives to assist young people, and centers her advocacy on the need to keep wellbeing, not profit, at the core of policymaking.

Together we can make change, build resilience, and implement measures for healing.
