Brian sits down with life coach and motivational speaker Valorie Burton to talk about what it really takes to endure pressure — and come out wiser and stronger on the other side. Valorie breaks resilience down into a learnable, diagnosable system: adaptive skills (what’s happening inside you), protective resources (what you can draw on), and preventive measures (the proactive choices that reduce future stress).
In the second part of the podcast, Anna Buffini, Buffini & Company’s Social Media Manager, (and Brian’s daughter) asks Valorie questions previously submitted by Buffini clients about the challenges they’re currently facing.
