Rut Toward the Storm: How to Get Through Hard Times || Ep. 183
How do you get through hard times when it feels like everything is falling apart? In this episode, I share three truths about the storms of life, and why the buffalo walks into the storm while the cows run from it.I grew up in Oklahoma, where storm season meant countless nights taking cover in the shelter, the closet, or the bathroom. And this year has been one of the hardest of my life. Lately I've talked with a lot of people going through their own storms: emotional, mental, physical, financial. If that's you, this one's for you.Three things to remember when you're in the storm:Storms never last. Every storm passes. Even in the worst of it, the sun is still shining above the clouds, and it always rises again.Prepare before the storm comes. You don't board up your windows on day one of the hurricane. During this year's floods, I saw one house sitting on dry, green grass in the middle of a flooded neighborhood, because they'd stacked four feet of sandbags before the water came. How you weather a storm depends on what you do today: the small daily habits that strengthen your body, your mind, and your spirit.The only way out is through. There's an old story from the plains: cows run from a storm and end up caught in it longer, while buffalo head straight into it and come out the other side sooner. Avoiding the hard thing, whether it's an emotion or a conversation, doesn't make it go away. It just saves it for later.You have made it through 100% of the storms you've faced. You will make it through this one too.Chapters (approximate — verify against the final audio) 0:00 Intro 1:15 One of the hardest years of my life 2:45 #1: Storms never last 3:45 The sun is still there 4:25 #2: Prepare before the storm comes 5:40 The house with four feet of sandbags 7:10 #3: Go through it (cows vs. buffalo) 8:45 Things that are bottled up are saved for later 9:55 You've made it through 100% of your stormsKnow someone in a storm right now?

Want to be happier? An 85-year old Harvard study has the secret to happiness || Ep. 182
In the longest running study on human happiness—an 85-year Harvard study—researchers discovered one truth that rises above everything else: connection is the greatest predictor of happiness and long-term health.Loneliness, they found, is as dangerous as smoking half a pack a day, and carries the same risks as obesity and high blood pressure.In this episode of the One Second of Strength Podast, host Tanner Clark breaks down why connection matters more than ever and how to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with simple daily habits.You’ll learn three practical ways to increase connection with intention:1. Send a daily text — Reach out to someone on your mind. No agenda. Just connection.2. Schedule your relationships — Put the people who matter on your calendar so they don’t fall through the cracks.3. Be the person someone else needs — If you want to be present in people’s problems, you need to be present in their lives.This episode will help you strengthen your relationships, feel more grounded, and unlock the happiness we’re all searching for.SUBSCRIBE! - Hit follow so you never miss an episodeSHARE - Send this to ONE person who might need itRATE - Give the show a 5 Star rating so more people like you can find it.

Does Manifesting Work? How to Turn Big Dreams into your Dream Life || Ep. 180
Does Manifesting Work? How to Turn Big Dreams Into a PlanDoes manifesting work? Yes, but only when you pair it with the part most people skip. In this episode, I share how writing down your biggest dreams trains your brain to notice the opportunities that move you toward them, and the WOOP method that turns a dream into a plan you can act on today.Have you ever picked a favorite car and then started seeing it everywhere? There aren't more of those cars on the road. Your brain just started looking for them. Your brain takes in millions of bits of information and filters out almost all of it. Psychologists call this selective attention, and it's often linked to a part of your brain called the reticular activating system. When you write down what you want, you're telling that filter what to keep.Direction matters too. When Alice asks the Cheshire Cat which way to go, he asks where she wants to get to. She doesn't really care. Then, he says, it doesn't matter which way you go. That's why the SOS approach I teach starts with one step: set your intentions.So I took my own advice. I grabbed the closest notepad, wrote "Little Book of Big Dreams" on the front, and wrote inside: "This book turns dreams into reality." Then I wrote down my biggest goal: help one million teenagers change their lives.But writing it down is step one, not the whole plan. Manifestation plus action equals magic. To get from the dream to the action, I walk through the WOOP method from NYU psychologist Gabriele Oettingen:Wish. Name your big dream. Don't shrink it to make it feel safe.Outcome. Close your eyes and picture it: the bigger stage, the vacation, peace with your family. Whatever it is for you.Obstacle. What's inside you that's holding you back? Sometimes moving forward means letting go of the thing that keeps you stuck.Plan. Daily action, daily progress. Decide what you'll do today to move toward the dream.There's more opportunity in this world than most of us believe. The real question is whether you're willing to dream big, take the steps, and let go of what's holding you back.Chapters 0:00 Intro0:55 Can you manifest the life you want?1:43 Why you start seeing your favorite car everywhere2:44 Your brain's filter: the reticular activating system4:04 My big dream: one million teenagers4:57 Alice in Wonderland and setting your intentions5:54 How my Little Book of Big Dreams started8:16 The WOOP method: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan9:56 There's more opportunity than you think10:34 Two ways to start todayTwo ways to start today:Grab any notebook, label it "Little Book of Big Dreams," and write your biggest dream on the first page.Want the one I made?

This ONE THING is Limiting Your Personal Growth || Ep. 179 (
This ONE THING Is Keeping You From Personal GrowthSomeone once told me they couldn’t take my advice seriously because my hat was on backwards. That’s the kind of opinion we let hold us back. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop worrying about other people’s opinions, the one thing I believe does more damage to your personal growth than almost anything else.Here’s what I’ve been thinking about: a lot of the opinions people put on you are really their own fears. They’re scared of becoming who they could become, so they project that onto you. And social media has multiplied those voices until it’s hard to hear your own.We get caught in three traps:1. Mind reading. Someone doesn’t text back. Your boss hasn’t emailed. Suddenly you’ve written a whole story about what they’re thinking. We’re usually wrong. Nobody is thinking about us on that level.2. Not considering the source. Who is “they”? If it’s not your family or friends, the people who already know you, why does their opinion get a vote? Most of the time we don’t know them, and we don’t even like them.3. Being our own worst critic. We make one small mistake and assume the whole world is talking about it. They’re not. Nobody’s perfect, and you don’t have to be either.There’s a quote I love: “Worrying doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace.”Here are four ways to stop worrying about what other people think:1. Care more about what you think. Get solid on your core values and beliefs. When your foundation is steady, the outside noise loses its grip.2. Get out of the places that weigh you down. Take a break from social media, unfollow accounts, turn off comments, find new people. When you find your one second of strength to walk away from the thing that’s hurting your heart, the very next second will be the best second of your life, because in that second you’ll feel free.3. Repeat your “I am” statements. I am strong. I am brave. I am capable. Just because someone doesn’t see your value doesn’t mean you should decrease your worth.4. Replace worry in one second. Our brains default to negative thoughts. Mindset is training. In one second, you can swap worry for hope and refocus on what you can control.You can’t control what other people say or do. You can always control your reaction, and nobody can take that away from you.Whether you’re a teenager, a parent, or an adult trying to grow, this one’s for you.Whose opinion has been taking up too much space in your head?

Building Resilient Teens: 4 Lessons From an Oak Tree || Ep. 178
Building Resilient Teens: 4 Lessons From an Oak TreeSome trees fall over in a light breeze. Others stand through tornadoes. The difference is underground, and it's the same thing that separates teens who get knocked over by peer pressure and setbacks from the ones who stand strong.When we lived in Phoenix, the smallest gust of wind would knock trees flat. Their roots stayed near the surface chasing water and never went deep enough to hold. In Oklahoma, where I grew up, the oaks stand through straight-line winds and tornadoes.On a walk this week I started thinking about oak trees, and how much they can teach teenagers (and the rest of us) about resilience and growth. Here are the four lessons:Dig your roots deep. Decide your values and standards before the wind comes. When your foundation is set, peer pressure, temptation, and other people's opinions can't uproot you.Bend, don't break. The roots hold the tree steady while the branches move with the wind. Never adapt your values, but be willing to adapt your approach. There's rarely one right way. Ask yourself: what's the next best thing I can do?Lose your leaves. This year I cut too many branches off the tree in our backyard and shocked it. It started dropping leaves everywhere to protect its base. Growth asks you to let go too: of some friendships, habits, or environments. You have to let go so you can grow.Ask for support. When we plant a new tree, we stake it with rebar and rope so it grows straight while its roots take hold. Asking for help gets harder when you're a teenager building your own identity, and it doesn't get easier as an adult. But you aren't meant to do this alone. Your circle doesn't just raise your ceiling. It raises your floor. And sometimes you need to find a new circle.Whether you're a teenager, a student leader, a parent, or an entrepreneur, nature has a lot to teach us about growing strong enough for the real storms.Which of the four do you need most right now?

You're Not Lonely, You're Avoiding This || Ep. 177 (replay)
You're Not Lonely, You're Avoiding ThisYou are not the only one who feels alone — one in five adults feel lonely every single day, and it's even worse for teenagers. In this episode, Tanner breaks down the difference between loneliness and solitude, why so many of us are losing the ability to be alone with our own thoughts, and the 5 things you have to do if you want real, lasting connection.Tanner shares data from happiness researcher Arthur Brooks on what actually drives happiness — faith, family, friends, and meaningful work — and unpacks why the "friends" piece is the one that quietly falls apart for so many people, especially guys. He makes the case that loneliness and solitude aren't the same thing: solitude is where you find hope, set goals, and grow. Loneliness is what happens when we fill every quiet moment with noise instead.In this episode, you'll learn:Why loneliness is being called an epidemic — and what's actually driving itThe real difference between loneliness and solitudeWhy filling every free moment with your phone kills your sense of hopeThe 5 things you have to do to build real relationships: get outside your comfort zone, make it about them, be yourself, be magnetic, and be vulnerableWhy vulnerability — not confidence — is what actually creates deep connectionIf you've ever felt alone in a room full of people, or like you're the only one carrying something heavy by yourself, this episode is for you.Don't forget the 3 S'sSUBSCRIBE to One Second of Strength so you never miss an episode.SHARE this with someone who needs to hear it today — especially if they're heading off to college or starting somewhere new.STARS!!

Struggling Isn't Failing || Ep. 176
This has been the hardest year of my life mentally. For the first time, I doubted myself. In this episode: the 5 things I'm leaning on to keep going when I want to quit, including why rest isn't the same as giving up.The Hardest Year of My LifeI'll be honest — this has been the hardest year of my life. Mentally, professionally, personally. About two years ago I quit my job to speak full time, and it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. But this year, for the first time, I've doubted myself. I've felt like I'm not good enough. Like I'm failing my wife, failing my family, failing myself.Here's what I've learned: sometimes life is hard because you're trying to become someone you've never been before. You can't win the war you're facing by running from your battles — the only way through is through. So here are the five things that have kept me going this year, on the days I wanted to quit.1. Follow the plan, not your mood. Your mood will tell you to quit, to pause, to take the day off. Don't listen. Set the plan the night before, then follow it regardless of how you feel. Bamboo seeds spend up to five years growing roots underground before they ever break the surface — then they shoot up 80 feet in weeks. What you're doing right now, even when you can't see it, is building the foundation for what's coming.2. Rest, don't quit. There are days that will knock you down. Tell yourself quitting will never be an option — but you're allowed to pause. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the night that says, "I will try again tomorrow."3. When you're struggling most, serve someone else. When life gets hard, we turn inward and get consumed by our own pain. Turn it outward instead. I have a note on my whiteboard: "Help others and the rest will work out." Find one person to help today — it will get you back on your feet faster than anything else.4. Look back at how far you've come. You may not be where you want to be, but that doesn't mean you're not where you're supposed to be. Every daily deposit got you here. Recognize it. You are the strongest person you know, and you have everything it takes to keep going.5. Do less. This one sounds backwards, but overwhelm comes from thinking everything is on you. Start a to-don't list instead of a to-do list — pick the one or two things that actually move your life forward, and put everything else on the list of things you're allowed to stop doing.If you're in a battle right now — emotional, mental, physical — you are strong enough to go through it. You just have to choose, today, to keep going.Send me a message on Instagram @realtannerclark and tell me you're in it — that you won't quit. I'll tell you the same thing back: I won't quit either. Let's keep fighting the battle together.Do the three S's:SUBSCRIBE wherever you're listeningSHARE this with one other personSTARS leave a five-star rating — it's the only way this podcast reaches more people who need it.Go find your one second of strength — and be happy.
