Becoming Stronger Through Hard Times: Building Resilience

What does it really mean to be resilient?

Today, we’re digging into that question, starting with the dictionary (because: nerds) and sharing our own stories of how we’ve built resilience, and some areas of our lives where we’re still very much works in progress.

Because resilience isn’t something any of us are born with, and we’re always going to need practice bouncing back.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

• How a formative heartbreak taught Carol that she can survive difficult times
• Why it can feel very different to weather challenges that are the result of your own choices versus circumstances that are out of your control
• How taking risks and thinking bigger in her business and life has strengthened Magen’s resilience
• The big feelings of anger, frustration, shame, and sadness that we have to feel and process before we can learn from a situation
• The areas of our lives where we’re more likely to want to play it safe
• How we’ve (mostly) learned to discern the risks worth taking and when it’s okay to take a break
