What is resilience — and why does it matter so much for your mental health, purpose, and peace?Welcome to the very first episode of Resilience with Tasha Schuh. In this opening episode, I share the heart behind this podcast, why it has been months in the making, and what you can expect from Season One. I also introduce my “My Story” series, where I open up about the experiences that shaped my journey; moments of challenge, growth, and resilience.At 16 years old, a theater accident left me a quadriplegic and changed my life forever. Since then, I’ve spent my life learning, living, and teaching resilience — first through speaking full-time beginning in 2007, and now through resilience coaching and education-based mental health work.Alongside my husband Doug, we’ve had the honor of speaking to more than 120,000 students and educators and thousands more about resilience, hope, and mental health — and that work continues to grow.In this episode, I share:• Why I launched this podcast • What resilience really means (and why we aren’t born with it) • How resilience supports emotional well-being and mental health • The connection between challenge and growth • A breakdown of the 30-episode journey of Season OneSeason One includes: Part 1: My Story of Resilience Part 2: The PATH to Resilience (Purpose, Attitude, Team, Hope) Part 3: Resilience in Action — practical tools and guest storiesEach episode is designed to be around 20–30 minutes — deep enough to matter, but still doable for your busy life.If you’re navigating a life-changing challenge, burnout, loss, identity shifts, or simply want to build stronger resilience skills, this podcast is for you.Lastly, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode: The Day That Changed Everything — the story of the accident that reshaped my life.There is always hope.
