Resilience: the part of you that does not quit with Dave

If you knew resilience had your back 100% of the time, what would you dare to do differently?

 In this solo episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast, I share what might be my most technically challenging recording yet, and how “take five” became a live example of resilience in action. I talk about resilience as the part of us that never quits – something baked into who we are, not a skill we have to build from scratch – and how we often only notice it in hindsight when we look back at what we’ve already come through.

 I also introduce some keys to how we can help each other, so we can see what’s fresh in each moment rather than relying solely on what we think we already know.

 I’d love to know: if you truly trusted that you’re designed to thrive, that resilience always had your back, what would you stop worrying about and step into instead?
