This Year's Word with Courtney Symes

The strength of softness — redefining resilience


Listen Later

Over the past few years, the word resilience has become something we hear often.

We’re told to be resilient in our work, in our relationships, in our health, and in the face of uncertainty. It’s often spoken about as something we should strive for — almost like a badge of honour.

But the way resilience is commonly understood can sometimes feel… heavy.

It can sound like pushing through no matter what.

Like staying strong at all costs.
Like not letting anything affect you.

And if we’re honest, that version of resilience can be exhausting.

In this episode, I want to gently explore a different perspective.

One that feels softer, more sustainable, and ultimately more human.

Because what if resilience isn’t about hardness at all?

What if resilience is about responsiveness?
