Resilience is one of the most important things you can do for your mental health and well-being. Being resilient is how single mothers go on to raise incredible children. Being resilient is how generations that lived through war survive to tell the story and continue their traditions. The problem is that you may not feel resilient, and you may not have taken inventory lately to uncover how much adversity you’ve overcome. Adversity is the catalyst for change and the training agent we all need to bounce back from struggles with a stronger mind.

In part 4 of this series, Evy and Lisa are breaking down all the ways adversity and resilience make you the powerful badass woman that you are. This is how you can break the patterns that have been holding you back, become more resilient and reclaim power over your life. It’s time to answer the call and become more responsible to yourself.

Tips To Become Mentally Resilient
1. Be the Leader in Your Own Life
2. Taking Ownership Makes You More Powerful
3. Don’t Weaponize the Other Person’s Insecurities
