"Hey there, my fur-tastic friends! Welcome back to The
Monkey the Cat Podcast! I’mMonkey, your favorite talking
cat, and today’s episode isabout something we all go
through—falling down.
Not just tripping or slipping(although I’ve done plenty of
that), but falling down in life.
Making mistakes.
Feeling disappointed.
Our lesson today?

(00:31):
Resilience means standing tallafter falling down.
It’s not about never failing.
It’s about getting back up—witha stronger heart, a smarter
brain, and maybe a bandage ortwo.
Let me tell you about the time Ifell hard… and found out how
strong I really was.""It wasField Day in the backyard—our
big competition of the year.

(00:52):
Teddy was the judge.
Brooklyn was pumped.
Olivff brought a clipboard andsnacks(of course).
The final event?
The Jump Slide Challenge.
The winner?
Gets the golden chew toy trophy.
I lined up, tail twitching.
Ran full speed.
Jumped— And...
SPLAT! Missed the landing.

(01:12):
Fell face-first into the mud.
The crowd gasped.
Max dropped his juice box.
Olivf dropped her pen.
I dropped my pride.
I wanted to quit.
Walk away.
Hide behind the snack table.
But then Dad—knelt beside me andsaid,‘Monkey, resilience isn’t
about perfect jumps.
It’s about getting back up,brushing off the dirt, and

(01:32):
trying again.’""So I stood up.
Wiped the mud from my nose.
I took a breath.
I smiled.
And I tried again.
This time I didn’t win thetrophy.
But I finished strong.
And I held my head high.
Brooklyn barked,‘That wasawesome!’ Teddy wagged and said,
‘Now that’s a champion.’ Olivffhanded me a juice box.

(01:55):
‘For effort.
And a very muddy comeback.’That’s when I realized:
Resilience isn’t about winning.
It’s about refusing to give up.
Every fall is just one morechance to rise." What We Learned
Today🔹Everyone falls—it’sgetting up that builds strength.
🔹Resilience means you keepgoing, even when it’s tough.

(02:17):
🔹Being brave doesn’t mean beingperfect—it means trying again.
🔹Each stumble is a step towardbecoming tougher, wiser, and
prouder.
"So here’s my challenge for YOUtoday: Think of a time you
fell—then remember how you gotback up.
✅Did you try again on a hardtask?
✅Did you say'sorry' after amistake?

(02:38):
✅Did you keep going even when itwasn’t easy?
Because that—right there—isresilience.
