Mastering emotional resilience: How to stay grounded when life feels too much.

Feel like you’re “on” one day and crashing the next? In this episode, we unpack what resilience really is, why it’s so hard to keep, and the simple daily anchors that pull you back when life, work, or motherhood hits overload. You’ll learn:

• The brain-body science behind resilience (and why willpower alone fails).

• A 3-step reset to choose something different each day—without falling off the wagon.

• How to build a personal “baseline” and use one powerful anchor to return to calm in minutes.

• Why even the bad moments carry hidden value—and how reframing them reduces resistance and fuels growth.

Whether you’re a busy single mum, a career-driven woman, or juggling both, these tools will help you bounce back faster, stay consistent, and turn every stumble into fuel for the climb.
