Episode 161: Resilience

When life knocks you flat, how do you rise again—stronger, steadier, and somehow even more yourself? In this episode, Tara Geraghty, founder of Hey Girl You Can, joins me for a raw and energizing conversation about the real roots of resilience and why it’s the emotional backbone we all need.Tara’s story isn’t polished—it’s powerful. She opens up about building her career almost accidentally, surviving domestic violence, and navigating her daughter’s childhood cancer. Through it all, she discovered something life-altering: resilience isn’t a personality trait. It’s a skill you can build, and it’s the one tool that changes everything.Together, we talk about what resilience actually looks like in the messy, day-to-day real world—parenting through medical trauma, advocating for our kids when the medical system gets it wrong, and learning to trust ourselves again after life has shattered us a little. Tara shares simple, grounded practices like gratitude journaling, reframing scary experiences, and helping kids feel powerful even in medical environments that typically take their power away.If you’re craving strength, community, and the reminder that you can rise even when life feels heavy, this conversation will land right where you need it.Explore Tara’s work, join her community, or take her 5-Day Resilience Challenge at www.taragonline.com.
