If you think resilience means handling everything alone, this story will change your mind. Ginous Assil shares how she faced big loss and crisis not by going solo, but by trusting her inner wisdom and leaning on a supportive community. Her story shows that real strength comes from connection and simple, practical tools—not just grit.

Why Listen to This Episode:

  • Learn how resilience can grow even in tough times
  • Discover easy mindfulness tools to find calm during chaos
  • See how community turned isolation into strength and support

If you want to turn life’s challenges into growth, this episode shows how Resilient Minds can help you build lasting strength and peace.

Meet Ginous Assil:
Ginous is the founder of Nana Good Eats in NYC. After losing her husband and raising two toddlers alone, she thought she understood resilience. But when a house fire hit her family just as she started Resilient Minds, she realized surviving is different from thriving. 

Her raw story reveals how female entrepreneurs face unique isolation and how group healing helps more than doing it alone.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why women entrepreneurs often feel isolated and stressed
  • How Resilient Minds gives you right tools exactly when you need them
  • How writing and sharing with others can change your view of work conflicts
  • Why vulnerability with a group helps you break through tough barriers
  • How community creates lasting support beyond the program
  • How practicing together builds real, lasting resilience


On Community/Group Experience: "It is incredibly therapeutic because you're hearing other people verbalize what you're experiencing. And that by itself is like, I'm not alone in this. I'm not the only one going through this struggle, and it really helps." - Ginous Assil


Why Community Matters:
Women build networks differently. Resilient Minds creates real connections with shared support, not just surface networking. Having these tools during crisis helps you do more than survive—you grow stronger.

Ready to Stop Going It Alone?
If you feel pressure to do everything yourself, you’re not alone.
