For us high-achievers, we often think of resilience as pushing through, powering on, and handling it all. 

But what if true resilience isn’t about white-knuckling your way through hardship—but about allowing yourself to soften, heal, and bounce forward instead of just back?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of That Sucked, Now What?, to talk about what it really takes to move through life’s hardest moments. 

Dr. Neeta’s story is one of profound loss—losing her mother, father, and brother before she turned 19—and the journey she took to rebuild herself while navigating perfectionism, high-achiever pressure, and cultural expectations.

But this isn’t just about survival. It’s about rewriting the way we think about resilience, breaking generational cycles, and learning how to meet life’s challenges without burning ourselves out in the process. 

We talk about redefining strength, breaking generational patterns, and the tension between raising resilient kids while also protecting them from pain.

🔥 Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Truth About Resilience—Why it’s not about toughening up, but about allowing yourself to feel, soften, and receive support.
2. The Bounce Factor—The four key factors that determine how well you recover from hardship (and how to build more resilience starting today).
3. Parenting & Resilience—How to foster grit and independence in your kids without tough love or suppressing their emotions.

If you’ve been navigating grief, burnout, or just trying to figure out how to keep going when life feels heavy—this episode is for you.
