    My Kids Were Being Bullied at School… Here’s What We Did

    This week on the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I sit down with author and coach Rosie Thames to talk about what happens when bullying does not stop and what parents are forced to do next. Rosie shares her personal story of both of her children experiencing bullying at school, including physical incidents, emotional impact, and the frustration of feeling like the school was not acting fast enough. We also talk about the difficult decision to remove a child from an environment where they no longer feel safe. If your child is being bullied at school, this episode gives you a real look at what that experience can be like and what steps you may need to consider as a parent.

    Domestic Violence Warning Signs: How Abuse Often Begins

    Domestic violence rarely begins with violence. It often begins with control. In this episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, Tim Flynn speaks with women's wellness coach Doreen Alvarez, who shares her powerful personal story about manipulation, stalking, and domestic abuse. What started as persistence and charm slowly turned into intimidation, threats, and eventually physical violence. Doreen opens up about the warning signs she experienced, how abusers manipulate and isolate their victims, and why it can be incredibly difficult for victims to escape abusive relationships. In this episode we discuss: • Early warning signs of domestic violence • How manipulation and control develop in relationships • Why victims can feel trapped or afraid to leave • The psychological impact of abuse • Why asking for help is so important Understanding the early warning signs of abuse can help people recognize dangerous situations before they escalate.

    She Tracked Down Her Bullies

    In this episode of Breaking Bullying, Tim Flynn sits down with Simone Ellin, a licensed clinical social worker and writer, who made the bold decision to track down the people who bullied her in middle school. Simone shares what led her to reconnect with her former classmates years later, what those conversations were really like, and what she learned about herself along the way. The conversation explores relational bullying, the long-term impact bullying can have into adulthood, and why many prevention programs fall short. This episode is not about revenge. It is about understanding, healing, and what real closure can look like for those still carrying the weight of childhood bullying experiences. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to face your past, or if bullying followed you long after school ended, this conversation offers powerful insight and perspective.

    Adult Bullying in Youth Sports and Schools: When Coaches and Teachers Cross the Line

    In this episode, Tim Flynn sits down with Dru Ahlborg to talk about an often overlooked but deeply damaging issue: adult bullying in youth sports and schools. They explore how coaches, teachers, and other authority figures can cross the line from discipline into bullying, and the long-term impact this behavior can have on a child’s confidence, mental health, and sense of safety. The conversation breaks down the critical difference between conflict and bullying, why intent does not always matter, and how trust can be broken when adults misuse their power. Dru Ahlborg shares insights on what parents should watch for, how to communicate with schools and youth programs, and what healthy accountability from adults really looks like. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, coaches, and anyone who works with kids and wants to create safer, more supportive environments.
