In this episode of Real Over Ideal, host Vanessa Gorelkin discusses the theme of bad decisions, coping, healing after mistakes and resilience. And she tells her all time favorite story about resilience after terrible trauma -- if you know her in real life, you probably have heard this story.
Vanessa tells about a career choice that turned out to be detrimental but ultimately led to valuable lessons and personal growth. (That's a nice way of saying the job was a nightmare because the boss was a toxic abusive micromanager, all her own opinions- obviously.)
The conversation explores the nature of resilience, emphasizing that it is not about avoiding failure but about how we recover and learn from our experiences.
Vanessa also addresses questions about regret and the importance of self-compassion for healing in the face of mistakes, highlighting that resilience includes rest and self-care.
Thank you for listening- it's been amazing to see how far and wide our listeners are from.
