In this episode of the Untrigger Yourself podcast, Dr. Peter Hercules and Katrina Hercules explore adaptability as a core element of emotional fitness. They discuss how the ability to adjust to changing circumstances is essential—not just for survival, but for a fulfilling life.

Dr. Hercules highlights how fear, perfectionism, and the need for external validation often prevent people from adapting. Those with strong self-worth are better equipped to embrace change, while those who resist it often find themselves stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed when life inevitably shifts.

The episode also examines the consequences of resisting change, from missed opportunities to emotional stagnation. Adaptability, they argue, is what allows people to navigate challenges, grow through adversity, and engage fully with life rather than merely reacting to it.

In this episode of the Untrigger Yourself podcast, Dr. Peter Hercules and Katrina Hercules explore the third pillar of emotional fitness: resiliency. They discuss resilience as the capacity to recover strength and confidence after setbacks, emphasizing its role in transforming adversity into growth. Resilient individuals, they explain, don’t just survive challenges—they grow stronger through them.

This episode highlights why resiliency is a cornerstone of emotional fitness, focusing on its profound impact on life quality. Dr. Hercules explains how life’s challenges are inevitable, but our ability to recover and adapt largely determines our outcomes. Without resiliency, even minor difficulties can destabilize us, leading to fragility and missed opportunities.

The conversation delves into the importance of nurturing emotional strength through self-awareness, practice, and incremental challenges. Resiliency, they emphasize, is like emotional muscle: it must be built deliberately and from a strong foundation. They explore the concept of "anti-fragility," or growing stronger from hardship, and address the limitations of strategies like exposure therapy, advocating instead for addressing root causes to create true emotional stability.

Through practical insights and powerful analogies, Dr. Hercules and Katrina illuminate how resiliency allows us to live fully, not just enduring life’s hardships but thriving through them. The episode concludes with a reminder that resilience is within all of us—it's a choice to rise and grow.
