The Young Architects of Resilience: A conversation with Sneha Kuriachan Padayattil and Adam Woods | UHP S5E3

⁠World Resiliency Week⁠ 2026 is almost here (June 26–30, 2026), and the people helping shape it aren’t policymakers or academics. They’re grassroots operators working from the inside of their communities.

In this episode, Shane sits down with two of the younger architects behind this year’s campaign theme, Fall, Feel, Rise. Sneha Kuriachan Padayattil is a youth prevention specialist and credentialed catalyst at Fourth Wave Foundation in Kerala, India – one of eight World Resiliency Day global ambassadors. Adam Woods is the national coordinator of Hope Tour in Australia, taking messages of hope and resilience into schools across the country.

Together they unpack what it really means to fall, sit with it, and rise, and why that rhythm is exactly what this generation needs to hear.
