s3 e6: blast from the past | the silver linings episode
original air date: 25 September 2020
In this pulled-from-the-vault episode, I reflect on a word that’s been my anchor for over 13 years: Excelsior—Latin for "ever upward." It’s more than a motto; it’s a mindset. Inspired by The Silver Linings Playbook and its powerful reminder that “if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining,” this episode explores how I’ve used Excelsior to reframe pain, loss, and uncertainty into something hopeful.
I also share the personal acronym BREATHE—a survival tool I created during some of my darkest seasons. It’s a step-by-step reminder to pause, persevere, and push forward. Through BREATHE and the spirit of Excelsior, I’ve learned that silver linings aren’t always obvious—but they are always there for those willing to look up.
