How to Bounce Back More Connected to YourselfNanakorobi Yaoki  (七転び八起き)In this episode of Inner Clarity, Dr Imelda J explores the Japanese saying Nanakorobi Yaoki meaning fall down seven times, get up eight, and reframes resilience as something much more human than simply pushing through. This conversation moves through the subtle, everyday moments that throw us off, from a text message, an old memory, overthinking at work, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and emotional triggers, and looks at how suffering often grows not from the event itself but from the meaning we attach to it. Blending insights from Zen, yoga, meditation, business, and startup leadership, Imelda shares why real strength is not about becoming unshakeable, but about building the inner elasticity to return to yourself with more awareness, self-trust, and kindness each time life pulls you off centre.
