50: Building Resilience Through 2020 and Beyond

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am so excited to welcome you to the 50</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">episode of the She Doesn’t Settle podcast, quite a milestone to reach given everything that we’ve all had to deal with in 2020 so far. To celebrate, I have a very important topic to discuss - in fact it was the main topic of my recent Ascend Mastermind retreat - and it’s one which is always relevant, but particularly so for this past year: resilience. Identifying our own resilience and understanding the ways it impacts so many aspects of your life is crucial, and that is precisely what we will undertake in this very special episode.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ll start by defining resilience, demonstrating the difference in people who have or don’t have it, and we’ll look at a couple of studies that have been done about it. I’ll explain growth mindset and the two ways resilience is derived, as well as present some examples of questions you need to ask yourself, and emphasize the importance of having and utilizing a support system. Much of the episode is devoted to exploring the 5 things that contribute to resilience that you may not usually consider, and I also share some personal stories from my own life to help illustrate some of the information shared. If 2020 has taught us anything, it is the need for resilience when facing challenges, and I hope that the ideas and advice presented here today will help you to flex your resilience muscles, and not simply survive difficult times, but to thrive within and beyond them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you need help building your resilience, keeping up momentum with your goals, setting boundaries, ensuring that you’re taking care of yourself, or even if you just want to chat,</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">please feel free to</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">send me an email at</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">support@kellytravis.net</span> <span style=
