Learning Resilience: From Neglect to Empowerment

Resilience is a learned behavior, friends. Yes, some people are BORN with it - but most people learn it. It’s defined in the dictionary as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness OR the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

So I ask you this, Brave Listener, how resilient are you? How quickly do you recover when things go wrong? Do you have the ability to spring back into shape? Well, this week’s episode is all about learning to be resilient. And it’s a story of hope!

Author, coach, and Arctic expedition guide (um, how cool is that!?), Heather Thorkelson joins us to talk about growing up wealthy but severely neglected. Neglect is not just for the underprivileged. This is a story about learned resilience and finding the strength you need from within.  AS Heather put is Most of our limitations are about how big we choose to dream.
