198 —When Life Hits Hard: Build Resilience and Come Back Stronger

Mar 28, 2025

When life throws you curveballs, it’s not just one problem to tackle. Often, challenges arrive like dominos, and it can feel impossible to move forward. That's why it's important to build resilience.


Whether you're dealing with personal loss, financial struggles, or emotional roadblocks, there are science-backed strategies that can help you handle adversity. Some of the things I share are:


  • Why resilience isn’t just about “bouncing back” but taking deliberate steps forward.
  • The difference between mental strength and resilience (and why both matter).
  • How to reframe negative thoughts to discover opportunities within obstacles.
  • The power of setting realistic, micro-goals to create steady progress.
  • Why self-compassion is essential for recovering from tough times.
  • Actionable tips to cultivate resilience using practical and research-based strategies.
