EP 59: The Power of Growth and Resilience ft. Aleksandra Lowicka

Winning doesn’t always feel like winning.Sometimes it feels like exhaustion. Like grief. Like rebuilding from nothing.In this episode of AvyHD, I sit down with Aleksandra Lowicka — epilepsy self-advocate and psychology graduate — to talk about what resilience actually is when your nervous system and the systems around you aren’t built for you.We explore:– Growth vs. resilience– Welfare systems and systemic shame– ADHD and epilepsy overlap– Nervous system stabilization– The myth of “just try harder”– The compounding power of one breathThis is not a hustle conversation.This is about biology.Boundaries.And refusing to be programmed into something that breaks you.If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much for the system — or not enough for it — this episode will feel like coming home.
