As a listener, you get 25% off the JB Journaling Decks with code: RESILIENT Have you ever had something good happen that felt too perfectly timed to be just a coincidence? That’s serendipity—the unexpected gift that shows up when we least expect it, often changing the course of our lives in ways big or small. In this episode of Resilient with Jessica Boarman we unpack how we can invite more serendipity into our everyday lives. From saying “yes” more often, to stepping outside our comfort zones, to noticing the small nudges that lead to big opportunities. But this conversation isn’t just about receiving serendipity—it’s about creating it for others too. You’ll hear how something as simple as an introduction or an encouraging word can become a turning point in someone else’s story. If you’ve had one of those “I didn’t see that coming, but I’m so glad it did” moments, Jessica would love to hear your story. Share it with her so we can celebrate the gift of serendipity together.

    34. Simplify to Learn: What the Feynman Technique Can Teach Us About True Understanding

    What did you think of this episode? Have you ever caught yourself nodding along in a conversation, secretly hoping no one asks you to explain what was just said? Same.  In this episode of Resilient with Jessica Boarman, we’re talking about one of the most practical and eye-opening tools I’ve come across for learning anything with more clarity and confidence: the Feynman Technique. Named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, this method isn’t about sounding smart—it’s about truly understanding something in a way that sticks. And you know I’m all about things that help us slow down, think deeper, and live more intentionally. Together, we’ll walk through the four steps of this powerful technique and explore how it can be used not just to learn new concepts—but to make sense of Scripture, process your story, and grow in self-awareness. If you're looking to stop memorizing and start understanding—this one’s for you. Take my free quiz: https:/jessicaboarman.com/quiz Thank you for tuning in to the Resilient Podcast!

    33. Redefining the Dream and Finding Purpose in the Plot Twist with Ashlee Ilg

    What did you think of this episode? What do you do when the life you’re living doesn’t quite match the one you dreamed of? In today’s episode of Resilient with Jessica Boarman, we’re talking to the woman who’s quietly holding it all together—the mom, the dreamer, the business owner, the faith-filled leader who’s doing her best… but still wondering, “Wasn’t it supposed to look different than this?” My guest today is a dear friend, a fellow dreamer, and someone who has cheered on my own journey more times than I can count. Together, we talk about what it looks like to keep dreaming even when the picture changes, how perfectionism can sneak into our purpose, and what it means to find strength that isn’t our own. If you've ever whispered, “It wasn’t supposed to be like this,” I want you to press play. This one’s for you.

    30. Is Comparison Really the Thief of Joy?

    What did you think of this episode? You’ve heard it before—“comparison is the thief of joy.” But is that always true? In this episode of Resilient with Jessica Boarman, we dig into the psychology behind comparison and how it quietly steals our peace. From social media spirals to invisible scorecards, Jessica unpacks why we compare ourselves, how it impacts our self-worth, and what we can do to stop measuring our lives against someone else’s highlight reel. She also references a compelling study, “Home Alone: Why People Believe Others’ Social Lives Are Richer Than Their Own” by Sebastian Deri, Shan Davidai, and Thomas Gilovich (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2017). This research shows how our comparisons are often skewed, not just because of what others are posting—but because of how our minds are wired. Whether you’re constantly comparing your body, business, friendships, or home—this episode will leave you with practical tools and encouraging truths to help you live more authentically.
