Episode notes

What if the stories we tell about stress and adversity are holding us back? What if the most resilient people are not the strongest, but the most adaptable?

This episode is an invitation to rethink resilience. Dr. Steven Stein shares how the hardiness mindset shifts our relationship with challenge. A concept born in military research but relevant to artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday heroes.

It’s not about stoicism or sheer willpower; it’s about seeing meaning in difficulty, embracing uncertainty, and committing to a journey bigger than the immediate obstacle. T

You’ll discover how small shifts in thinking can ripple into profound changes in how you live, work, and connect.

Actionable takeaways:

Cultivate challenge as a lens for growth, not a reason to retreat.
Practice focusing your efforts where you have influence, not where you feel powerless.
Let your commitments guide you beyond temporary discomfort.
