Linley Baker, with the help of her now ex-husband, raised their six children in four countries over 19 years. But when her husband of 35 years suddenly left her with virtually no warning or explanation, she chose to find peace by turning to her faith and remaining family. As an Actuary, she understood the need for understanding risks and statistics. As such, she began studying keys to resilience from her faith's scriptures and books like "Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy" by Sheryl Sandberg. Now years later, she is sharing her own hard-earned wisdom in her book "Don't Be Afraid to Do What You Really Want to Do: Reach All Your Life Dreams." In this first episode of a two-part series on the Relentlessly Resilient podcast, Linley joins our hosts to share her story of broken-heartedness and seeking mindful healing. In part two of the series, she shares more about her book and the tools she has discovered for resilience and reaching for your life dreams. 

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
