Student Doctor Tatiana Balabanis joins Stranger Fruit Vol V, Episode VI to explore the concept of Resilience—a crucial element of the Growth Harvest series. Resilience is more than just surviving adversity; it’s about transformation and finding meaning in the struggle. How do we rise after falling? How do we adapt when life doesn’t go as planned? And how can we see our challenges as part of our journey rather than just obstacles to overcome?
In this episode, we reflect on how resilience shapes our identity and how embracing our scars makes us stronger. From philosophical insights to personal stories, this conversation uncovers the essence of bouncing back with purpose and strength.
