Description

The world is changing fast. How do you navigate the constant pressure of social media, AI, and an uncertain future? Welcome to Breaking Formation, the podcast that gives you a strategic flight plan for modern life.


Hosted by retired Air Force Colonel Merryl Tengesdal and youth psychology expert Shea Phinney, each 15-25 minute episode is a mission debrief. We tackle the toughest topics facing young people today—from managing online pressure and "sharenting" to building resilience, navigating career anxiety, and handling unfair criticism.


Our mission is to give you the strategic tools of a pilot and the psychological insights of a therapist so you can break formation from harmful scripts and lead with courage.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
