Living on a small sustainable farm in Montana's mountains, Lorca Smetana, a resiliency expert who is no stranger to navigating crisis, trauma and grief, has created a body of work to inspire newfound purpose and strength to those who are coping with life’s difficult challenges.

In this episode of the Two Gals and a Mic podcast, Lorca reminds us that healing is iterative and filled with spirals of growth. As an expert in building holistic resiliency skills, she offers practical advice for embracing "Being With" in lieu of isolation or loneliness, and explains how that simple Radical Act of Revolution can create lasting resiliency which, ultimately, results in one's ability to live a vibrant, sustainable and creative life.

Lorca's resiliency journey began at the age of sixteen, when she unexpectedly found herself involved in the Mt. Hood climbing tragedy that took the lives of seven students and two teachers. Reported as the second deadliest alpine accident in North American history, this experience, coupled with the awareness of mortality and its impact on how we live our lives, are foundational to Lorca's resiliency work.
