This podcast is all about resilience, what it is, what that actually means, and how to get it. In this podcast I will be sharing with you some of my own journey as well as interviewing others to discover how they too have found, or are finding resilience. Like weeds, we too need to find ways to be resilient, dig deeper, bloom wherever we find ourselves, and stay "green" with the ever changing landscape we call life.

    Community. Can we start there?...

    Let's start talking about community resilience, because, I think it's a thing! But what does the word community mean to you? Let me know! Also, I want to touch on the subject of laying it down...letting the stories of the past go, no longer letting them control or define us. Is the cost too high? That is only something you can answer. Join me on episode 34!

    Surrender...

    Surrender...what does that word invoke in you? Fear? Peace? Is it something you've experienced before? I have, but I haven't always done it right, I haven't always fully surrendered. In this episode I talk about how this word applies to resilience but also, how it relates to a similar word, submission. I explore what the differences there are or might be in those two words, coming to my own conclusions and letting you decide what your conclusions might be as well. I talk about a TikTok in this episode, one that moved me, as well as having used some definitions that I acquired from certain websites that I will include below. Join me on this journey into surrender.

    I dare you to let it change you...

    This episode is all about those daily practices I've talked about for so long! In this episode I touch on two of the daily practices that I do religiously and how they have changed me. I also mention a book by Wayne Dyer as well as a quote from Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati, both of which I will reference below. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer- Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati- “Learn to drink as you pour, so the spiritual heart cannot run dry and you always have love to give.”
