• Understanding Resilience

  In this episode, the discussion centres around the concept of resilience, particularly within the context of the modern age, where self-care is gaining more importance. The conversation contrasts traditional 'stiff upper lip' approaches with contemporary ideas that emphasise holistic well-being. Self-care is clarified as practices that boost energy and overall well-being, like walking in nature or meditating, rather than simply indulgent activities like visiting a nail salon. The talk also delves into societal pressures and the tendency to mimic successful figures without personalising self-care routines. The importance of recognising both the positive and negative aspects of any experience to achieve a balanced, realistic view of life is emphasised, alongside the idea of reflecting on and neutralising past struggles to move forward effectively. 00:00 Introduction to Resilience00:40 The Shift Towards Self-Care01:12 Defining Self-Care02:16 Challenges in Embracing Self-Care04:22 Workplace Dynamics and Self-Care05:32 Personal Stories and Self-Care09:26 Understanding Resilience11:08 The Role of Childhood in Resilience12:51 Overcoming Fear and Taking Action19:46 Balancing Positivity and Reality22:11 Conclusion and Practical AdviceNew episodes drop weekly – so make sure to follow or subscribe to stay up to date.
