Episode 440 - Nina Sossamon-Pogue. Resiliency to Success


Listen Later

Resilience is more than showing up every day and working through the obstacles; it is adapting and surrendering to whatever is happening to you. To thrive through resilience is to accept that sometimes, the obstacle is the only way.


In this episode, Nina Sossamon-Pogue invites us to reframe our definition of resilience. Nina is a Keynote Speaker, Author, Podcast Host, Tech Executive, and former USA Gymnast and Emmy-winning News Anchor. Despite major setbacks as an athlete in her teen years and as a journalist at the beginning of her professional career, Nina always found a way to overcome challenges and bounce back stronger than before. As an influential thought leader who already had her success, she is on a mission to help others achieve theirs.


Throughout this episode, you'll hear Nina's thoughts on using mental toughness and self-reflection to overcome setbacks and achieve success. Nina also talks about how she recovered from not making it to the US Olympic team, her career-ending injury, and being released from her job after winning Charleston's Favorite News Anchor for the seventh time in a row.


You'll also hear about Nina's THIS framework, her TIPS for becoming resilient, why it is crucial to address Excellence Exhaustion, how relying on our reverse resume can help us increase our confidence, and much more.
