This episode explores the concept of resilience and how individuals can develop it through specific habits and mental shifts.

Everyone faces setbacks—moments when things don’t go as planned, when stress builds, or when life just feels heavier than it should. The difference is, some people seem to recover quickly, while others struggle to regain their footing. What is it that makes those people more resilient?
