Today’s episode of Feminine Roadmap is on the topic of what resilience looks like during difficult times. As 2020 unfolds the world continues to be challenged by uncertainty, new norms, and at times fear and anxiety which makes for real time difficulty. Mikaela Kiner sheds light on resilience in the context of these difficult and unprecedented times, what that looks like as an individual as well as a community. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties and for many the stress of uncertainty has created many layers of emotions that require new and greater skills than we have had to tap into before. Mikaela really focuses on the personal responsibility each one of us has to develop our own resiliency while navigating engaging with others who may or may not be resilient, adjusting our expectations and elevating our awareness. Now more than ever we need to tap into the power of resilience so that we can navigate the unknown waters before us in a way that will allow us to emerge better and more capable of dealing with challenge than ever before. We invite you to grab a cuppa something wonderful, bring a listening buddy and join this positive, proactive conversation. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/epuisode166/
