My chat with Jeff Agostinelli from the Next Level podcast: How to Be More Resilient
by Sarah on January 22, 2018
I enjoyed speaking with Jeff Agostinelli from the Next Level Podcast. He’s super cool and I love the work he’s up to. We often see resilience as a hard skill… something that we gain when we go through challenges that toughen us up. In this episode, I get to share my perspective on how resilience can actually have a softer quality. As a result, we integrate the most horrific, embarrassing, shame-filled, disappointing experiences into our story in a way that strengthens us, but doesn’t make us hard.
I also share a relevant quote in my best Yoda impersonation!
