Facing adversity can completely transform your life—but what if you could use your toughest moments to build unshakable resilience and rediscover your authentic self? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into emotional wellness and post-traumatic growth with cancer survivor and author Terry Healey, whose new book "The Resilience Mindset" reframes adversity as a catalyst for radical personal reinvention.
Host Kathy Washburn and Terry explore how cancer survivorship reveals hidden strengths, why both “big T” and “little t” traumas matter, and the transformative practices that help you move beyond people-pleasing and emotional suppression. Discover Terry’s REBAR framework—a four-step plan to build resilience from the ground up, nurture emotional intelligence, and cultivate self-compassion.
You’ll walk away with actionable tools for self-care, authentic connection, and managing life’s detours, whether you’re healing from illness, burnout, or years of putting others first. If you’re ready to reclaim your story, break free from old patterns, and step boldly into a life that’s truly your own, don’t miss this inspiring conversation—your next chapter starts now!
