Episode Description:
In the second part of the two-part episode on resilience, Julia and Liz Bloomfield move beyond defining resilience to explore practical, everyday strategies for building and sustaining it. Liz highlights how resilience is about preparation, intentional habits, and the power of community in overcoming challenges.
“Resilience really lies within teams and communities. The danger is that when we feel under pressure, our instinct is to withdraw. But the more we isolate ourselves, the harder it becomes to sustain resilience in the long run,” said Liz.
Liz and Julia discuss the two key pillars of resilience: stories and systems. How the narratives we tell ourselves shape our ability to bounce back, and how daily habits provide a foundation for long-term strength. Liz also shares micro-practices, from reframing overwhelming situations to grounding techniques that help reset and recharge.
Listen to this episode to learn how to reframe challenges, build sustainable habits, and take help from teams and communities to strengthen your resilience.
