Ep. 7: Courage Casts - Wellness vs. Resilience
In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, retired Police Captain Josh Bitsko explains the difference between wellness and resilience. Wellness is your foundation: sleep, nutrition, exercise, and daily habits that keep you healthy. Resilience is your ability to face stress, trauma, and high-pressure situations and still perform when it matters most.
Josh shares lessons from his career and personal journey on how to build both. From therapy and training to small, intentional self-care habits, he gives practical tools you can apply right now.
This episode challenges you to take one step this week to care for yourself and strengthen your resilience. Real growth comes from small, consistent actions that add up over time.
