I wasn’t the most resilient when I was younger, often caving under pressure and turning to food and weed to cope with the struggles in my lfie. As I got older, I found my resilience out of the necessity of caring for the people that I loved and my resilience grew from there. This week on We Can Be Real I’m talking about building resilience in the face of adversity.


In this episode, I discuss:

  • The first time I really had to be resilient in life as a newly divorced mother of two.
  • How my resilience built upon itself and came second nature to me over time. 
  • Traits and characteristics of resilient people.
  • Advice you can take today to start facing adversity in your life and building resilience.
