24: A Conversation On Building Resilience

Ep. 24

In this nourishing solo episode, I explore what true resilience looks like—and spoiler: it’s not about "toughening up" or faking positivity.


We’ll unpack:

✨ Why resilience isn’t perfection—it’s presence

✨ The subtle ways perfectionism, shame, and overthinking block our inner strength

✨ How tools like self-awareness, journaling, somatic inquiry, and nervous system regulation can help us return to ourselves


This is an invitation to redefine resilience—not as pushing through, but as coming home to yourself again and again. A reminder that you're not broken for feeling the weight of life, and you don't have to hold it all together to be strong.


Let’s soften the narrative around strength—and remember, you’ve got this.
