Have you ever thought that resilience could mean to bend, or soften, instead of being unyielding? In this episode, I muse on this subject and what it has meant, what it currently means in my life today. Join me and listen.

Do you ever wonder, when looking at some people, how they survive the things that life throws at them? Well, listen as Phil Cook recounts some of the "curve balls" that life has thrown his way with tragedy and loss, and witness how he not only survives, but thrives by choosing to "find the good".

This episode talks about where resilience begins...well, where I feel that it begins according to me. I feel that resilience begins with love, and more specifically, with self-love. You know something? I had no idea what that meant until about 10 years ago and in just the last year, I feel that I finally embody that term, self-love. Take a journey with me as I recount my search for self-love and all that it entailed for me. This was a tough episode for me to write and just as hard to tell...

In this episode I talk with Emily Cook, artist and physician, about what resilience looks like to her...in her own life as well as in the people lives that she comes across in her professional life as a doctor. Listen as she tells me about how she loves the way that her current position allows her to see the patient, full circle, not just a simple snapshot, leaving judgement at the door. Emily talks to me about how her art helps her to heal places within herself, places that can be hard to talk about, but are able to be expressed on canvas. How her loving nature is at the heart of everything that she does, in her professional life as well as her personal life. It's an episode you won't want to miss!

One of the ways I've cultivated resilience is through creativity! I'll share some of my creative pursuits as well as redefine this word for many of you that might think that you're NOT creative...I have a secret for you, you're wrong! We are hard-wired for creativity!

What a fun episode this is! Join me as I talk to Sarah Kemp and she describes what it's like to live in the last frontier of Alaska. If ever resilience needs to be cultivated, it is here...and not just once but often daily! Sarah embodies the life in Alaska and loves what "living in Alaska" actually means. Come and take a listen, you won't regret it!

In this episode we take things a bit lighter and we talk about weeds. What word comes to mind when I say weeds? Well...let's have an in-depth discussion on the subject.

Some of my info on weeds was taken from this website https://rootedrevival.com/ten-reasons-weeds-not-enemy/

This episode is amazing as I talk with Liz Burkholder, friend as well as somatic healer. I can't wait for you to feel her heart through her words as well as her actions. Hear how she came from a place of trauma, learned how to heal herself and how she is now on a journey to help others to heal themselves. Join me in this journey with Liz, in discovering and loving our inner-child towards resilience so as to truly heal ourselves. 

I touched on a correlation I had drawn between resilience and patience last solo episode. Since then I was inspired in the fact that sometimes resilience looks exactly like patience because sometimes resilience IS patience. Join me as I color outside the lines and look through a different lens than I am used to.
