Coach Tyler and Dr. Lisa Folden sit down with Reba Parker, a professor at the College of Charleston. Reba teaches sociology through a peace studies lens to explore the true meaning of peace and how to actually cultivate it in daily life. Reba shares insights from her book The Peaceability Mindset, explaining that peace isn’t passive or idealistic, but practical, measurable, and rooted in safety, well-being, and interconnectedness. Together, they unpack why society often views peace as “soft,” how to shift that perception, and how simple tools like pausing, listening, and nonviolent communication can transform relationships, homes, and communities. This heartfelt conversation reveals that peace begins within, expands outward, and, when practiced intentionally, can become both powerful and predictable.
