Bending Without Breaking: Exploring Resilience in Women
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The FEW Collective, Forum of Executive Women Collective, hosts Candace Langston and Amy Cunningham dive into the concept of resilience, particularly for women. They discuss how resilience is not about being unbreakable but about bending without breaking, highlighting that resilience often looks messy rather than graceful. The hosts break down the five pillars of resilience—physical, spiritual, social, psychological, and vocational—and provide practical, evidence-based tools to enhance resilience. They also address the unique pressures women in leadership and finance face, including double burdens and mom guilt. The episode underscores the importance of self-compassion, setting boundaries, knowing your purpose, and asking for help as key strategies for building resilience. The show aims to create a support system for executive women, emphasizing that resilience is a team sport.
