In this thought-provoking episode of Beautiful Work, Beautiful Life, Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin dive into the transformative journey of becoming resilient. They explore the richness of the words "resilience" and "becoming," sharing personal insights, client stories, and reflections on how adversity can be a powerful teacher.
From the importance of finding safety, physically and emotionally, to cultivating emotional intelligence, reframing your story, and nurturing the four intelligences (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), they guide listeners through the inner work that fosters lasting strength and growth.
This conversation is an inspiring reminder that resilience is not just about bouncing back, but evolving into a fuller, wiser version of yourself.
