Building Resilient Relationships Through Communication

Discover the power of personal change and resilience with Wall Street Journal bestselling author and resilience expert Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal. Through her extensive research on resilience, vulnerability, perseverance, connection, gratitude, generosity, and possibility, Dr. Taryn has developed a valuable framework for training what she refers to as your “resilience muscle.” She outlines the five myths and truths about resilience, including that resilience is about bouncing forward, not just bouncing back, and that it involves an active process of self-connection, not just passively waiting for time to heal. The conversation culminates in practical advice for how to cultivate resilience by engaging in self-reflection and positive self-talk, rather than dismissing or diminishing one's own experiences.
