    Telling Our Stories Podcast | Positive Childhood Experiences and the Power of Community

    Welcome to Telling Our Stories, a podcast by Regency on the Lake, where conversations go beyond real estate and into the people, ideas, and communities shaping how we live. In this episode, Josh Johnson sits down with Sharon Hirsch, President & CEO of the Positive Childhood Alliance of North Carolina to talk about something that impacts all of us, whether we realize it or not, the role we play in shaping childhood. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, but this conversation takes a different approach. Instead of focusing only on what we want to prevent, they explore what we can actively create. The focus is on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), the everyday moments, relationships, and environments that help kids feel safe, supported, and connected. Together, they break down what PCEs are, why they matter so much for long-term health and well-being, and how simple, intentional actions can make a real difference. From families and schools to neighborhoods and community leaders, this is about showing how prevention starts with connection. This conversation dives into: What Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) are and how they differ from adverse experiences Why positive relationships and supportive environments are foundational for lifelong well-being What’s holding communities back from making these experiences more common Practical, real-world ways people can show up for children and families The role everyday spaces like schools, sports, and neighborhoods play in shaping childhood It’s a conversation that brings it back to something simple but powerful, creating safe, stable, and supportive environments isn’t just a family responsibility, it’s a community one. And whether you’re a parent, neighbor, educator, or just someone paying attention, you have more influence than you think. Whether you are interested in luxury real estate in Lake Norman, relocating to Davidson, entrepreneurship in North Carolina, or community driven leadership, this episode of the Telling Our Stories podcast offers valuable insight into how people and place come together. 👋 About Regency on the Lake: We specialize in luxury homes, waterfront properties, and second homes across North Carolina.
