The way I feel about resilience is it's a muscle. And so if you have small, resilient moments, they start leading up to bigger resilience. And I think as you do as you have that resilience, then you're more hopeful.
In this episode, Chad talks about resilience and hope. While many have toiled through trying times before, the pandemic has brought a troubling new twist in our lives. It’s particularly important we all find hope and practice resilience daily.
The resilience is in you. Everyone's got it!
