Resilience: More Than Just Toughness

Resilience is often seen as toughness, but what if it’s really about adaptation, healing, and growth? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eranda Jayawickreme, a psychology professor at Wake Forest University specializing in post-traumatic growth, to explore how hardship shapes resilience—and why it’s not always guaranteed. We discuss the science behind resilience, the role of intention and community in the healing process, and why creating space for reflection is essential in navigating trauma.On The Tip, Ketsa, Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC-NDFree, Ketsa, Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC-NDSad Songs (The Day is Long), Laughing Manny & Swinging Docks, Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC-NDBe Present, Ketsa, Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC-NDAmusement Bark,Paweł Feszczuk, Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC-NDBajo les Estrellas (Under the Stars), John Lopker, Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC-ND
