Are you resilient? Now, before you answer, remember: resilience doesn’t mean hardiness. It doesn’t mean soldiering on when you’re running out of steam. So what is it? 

In today’s episode, Ruth defines resilience and shares practical steps you can take to get more of it. She gives you a glimpse into her past and explores what life was like when she *wasn’t* resilient. Discover what that looked like, and see if the signs of low resilience are showing up in your life. 

Working on your resilience means safeguarding your emotional health. It’s key to both your success and wellbeing. Listen above and find out how to fill your resilience bucket.
