Resilient Voices episode 15 – ”Facing Fear and Finding Strength”

Resilient Voices – Special Episode: Facing Fear and Finding Strength

This special episode of Resilient Voices is the first in a two-part series featuring Mary Ann Voli and Jessica Schultz in an honest, thought-provoking conversation about resilience.

How do we respond when life throws us into moments of stress, uncertainty, or adversity? What can we do in the moment to stay grounded? How can we build our resilience over time—and how do we make sense of our experiences once the storm has passed?

Mary Ann and Jessica explore these questions with depth and compassion, offering both personal insights and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. At the core of their discussion lies the concept of FEAR—and the idea that it can take many forms:

 

Forget Everything And Run, or Face Everything And Rise.

 

Rather than framing it as a right-or-wrong choice, they reflect on how both responses can be valid depending on the situation. Sometimes self-preservation calls for retreat; other times, growth demands that we lean in. The key is learning to recognise what’s needed—and how to respond with intention.

 

This episode is a powerful exploration of what it means to be human in the face of fear, and how resilience can help us move forward—no matter the path we choose.
