Reflecting on Jelena Dokic’s episode, in this episode Osher explores the relationship between resilience and vulnerability.

Vulnerability without resilience is dangerous. If you’re vulnerable without the strength to cope, you’re wide open to calamity.

Like being immunocompromised next to someone coughing—you’re incredibly susceptible to harm.

On the flip side, if you’re resilient without being vulnerable, your relationships, creativity, and ability to connect with others suffer.

Vulnerability shows how susceptible you are to danger or stress, while resilience is your ability to recover from it. The good news is, resilience is something we can build and develop, and in this episode, Osher offer up a few key ways to develop that skill.
