Episode 72: Resilience—Overcoming Failure, Handling Adversity, and Telling Yourself the Truth

We all feel defeated by the challenges we face from time to time. I have talked with so many people recently who are facing what feels like impossible mountains to climb. I recorded today's episode as a result of these conversations—I wanted to encourage you personally as you face what's hard in front of you. Here's what we cover:
1. The phrase I lean on for resilience (6:58)
2. The 2 pitfalls that tempt us when we face challenges (15:06)
3. Scripts for parenting yourself through a hard time (19:51)
4. How to develop mental & emotional strength (23:07)
