Resiliency Theory

Have you ever wondered if there is a resiliency quotient? Are resiliency and values directly correlated and do they impact each other? In the wake of challenge and adversity, does resiliency give us the strength to show up as our best self? How do we revisit our values and check-in with them? Join me as I meet with different friends, peers and leaders and we discuss their values, resiliency, and leadership. Over the course of many conversations, I hope to answer my burning question of whether there is a set of values that make one person more resilient than another and can they be taught.

  • Welcome Azucena Perez!
    Jun 2 2026

    “How do we stay grounded during frenetic times?”

    In this episode, Azucena shares her story of reinvention, courage, and what it means to trust yourself when the path ahead isn’t fully clear.

    She reflects on taking meaningful risks, choosing growth over certainty, and learning to remain grounded through seasons of uncertainty and change.

    Together, we explore:

    • How to stay present during difficult times
    • Meditation, journaling, and slowing down before the day gets busy
    • Taking leaps without guarantees — and learning to be okay without knowing
    • The role values play in navigating hard seasons
    • The cost of staying versus the risk of trying something new
    • Trusting that, at the end of the day, you are going to be okay

    This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t always about having the perfect plan.

    Sometimes resilience is taking the next step anyway. Trusting yourself enough to move forward, even when the future feels uncertain.

  • Welcome Caitlyn Beattie!
    May 19 2026

    “What if resilience isn’t about pushing through… but recalibrating?”

    In this episode, Caitlyn and I discuss identity, perseverance, letting go, and learning to navigate the unexpected.

    Together, we explore what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan and how resilience sometimes looks less like grit and more like giving yourself permission to evolve.

    This conversation explores:

    • Letting go of plans that no longer fit
    • What we can control and what we can’t
    • Recalibrating identity as life evolves
    • Why it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling

    Most importantly: Life happens. Plans change. And resilience isn’t about getting it perfect.

    Sometimes resilience looks like pausing, recalibrating, and trusting yourself enough to move forward anyway.

  • Welcome Jess Zucal!
    May 5 2026

    “Resilience isn’t about avoiding the hard parts. It’s about moving through them.”

    In this episode, Jess Zucal and I explore what it really means to build resilience in the face of challenge, uncertainty, and emotional discomfort.

    Jess shares her perspective on the importance of feeling emotions fully, rather than bypassing them, and how true resilience is built by leaning into the hard moments rather than avoiding them.

    This conversation explores:

    • The role of self-awareness in building resilience
    • The power of the pause in breaking reactive patterns
    • Letting go of control and surrendering to what is
    • The importance of community in navigating difficult seasons
    • Expanding our capacity to be uncomfortable

    This episode is a reminder that resilience is not about perfection or pushing through. It is about reflecting, adapting, and trusting that if you have weathered hard moments before, you can move through them again.
