When we face adversity, we are often faced with the choice of how we want to respond to those challenges. Will they make us bitter, or will they help us become better? It's a choice we all face, and one that can significantly shape the direction of our lives.

On this episode of Building Resilience, is the cliché of becoming "bitter or better" really true? I'll share how adversity can either weigh us down, leaving us stuck in bitterness, or become a stepping stone toward growth and resilience. We'll also talk about some tools like small actions and practicing self-compassion to help you shift from bitter to better.
