The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days!   Let me tell you something that might surprise you: Real resilience doesn't start with pushing through. It begins when you permit yourself to pull back. I know that goes against everything the world shouts at us—“Strong women don't quit!” However, sometimes what we call strength is merely survival mode in disguise. We've worn exhaustion like a badge of honor, powering through every storm as if it's the only way to prove we're tough enough. But here's the truth: the grit that got you here isn't the same grace that's going to carry you forward. Today, I want to talk about a different kind of resilience. Not the kind that demands you white-knuckle your way through stress, but the kind that invites you to rest with intention. To embrace rhythms of recovery. To build a life that feels whole, not just high-functioning. Because you weren't created just to survive, you were made to thrive.   Timestamps: (00:40) - Why the Secret to Resilience is Learning to Pull Back (04:18) - How Real Resilience is Built Through Recovery (05:22) - The Surprising Ways Constant Stress Erodes Your Health and Steals Your Joy (06:10)- Why Strategic and Spiritual Recovery is the Game-Changer You Need (10:29) - 4 Simple Yet Powerful Steps to Build Unshakable Resilience   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Alli's Makeup Recommendation - Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Shadow Stick Don't forget to sign up for one of Alli's FREE Coaching Calls - Only 3 spots are open! alliworthington.com/freecoaching     I hope you loved this episode!

Every year, between one in every 1,000 to 2,000 babies is born deaf or hard of hearing. For about 90% of these children, they're born into hearing families, families who suddenly begin a journey they never expected. Maxine and Raymond Raffle were one such family. Their daughter, Lonene “Lonnie” was diagnosed as deaf at 18 months old. From that moment forward, they walked beside her as she carved out a life that defied limitation. Lonnie embraced everything, community, friendship, love, motherhood. Her world expanded, even as society tried to shrink it. Her husband was also deaf. Their children, however, were hearing; what's known as CODAs: Children of Deaf Adults. For Lonnie's daughter, Alison, that meant stepping into the role of translator, advocate, and bridge between two worlds, sometimes before she was old enough to truly understand what that meant. Then, when Alison was just five years old, Lonnie disappeared. Alison has made it her mission to share her mother's story. On this show, we always strive to include the voices of those closest to the story. But we also understand the emotional weight that comes with retelling deep personal trauma. When we spoke with Alison, she chose not to be interviewed for this episode, and we fully respect that. Instead, with her permission, we've drawn from the interviews she's previously given, as well as publicly available records and reporting. Alison graciously reviewed the research for accuracy, and gave us her blessing to move forward. What you'll hear today is shared with her care, her trust, and her enduring hope for justice. This is Lonnie's story, and the story of the daughter she was taken from 43 years ago. If you have any information that could help solve Lonnie's case, please call the Pennsylvania State Police at 814-332-6911.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Jeff Hiller to discuss his new memoir Actress of a Certain Age as well as his recent Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for the HBO series Somebody Somewhere.

Other topics include: why he likes auditioning, how doing a lot of improv helps him in day-to-day life, carving up a twink on American Horror Story and loving it, that time Ryan Murphy ordered more cockrings and why you should never let a new guy you're dating come to your improv show.

In Part 2 of Show Us Your Human, I sit down with Darren Palmer, a leader, entrepreneur, and someone who is incredibly passionate about connecting with others. We dive into the truths behind leadership that are rarely seen—the struggles, the doubts, and the human side of great leadership.ICYMI: About Darren PalmerDarren M. Palmer is a dynamic Serial Entrepreneur and the co-founder of one of the nation's fastest-growing agencies, Prosperity Partners Agency. With a mission to empower families and entrepreneurs, Darren and his partners are equipping leaders with the tools and strategies needed to achieve financial freedom.Before entering the insurance industry, Darren founded Self Publish -N- 30 Days, the #1 self-publishing company in the world, serving high-level entrepreneurs and helping them turn their stories into seven-figure platforms.Through mentorship and experience, Darren discovered the keys to building wealth—but also realized the deep gap in financial literacy within the business community. Refusing to stand on the sidelines, he became a solution in the marketplace, teaching others how to build legacy, protect income, and steward their financial future with confidence.What Makes Darren GreatWe kick off the conversation with an important question: What makes you great? Darren shares that his resilience and deep faith are what truly set him apart. He believes that faith fuels resilience—his ability to keep going even when life gets tough. Resilience, as Darren explains, isn't about never facing challenges, but about keeping faith through the trials. Darren's perspective on leadership is that trials and tribulations are part of the process, and they're what make us more than conquerors.The Struggles and The Strength Behind ResilienceAs we dig deeper, Darren reflects on the struggles that all great leaders face but don't always share with the public. He talks about moments when he's faced real doubts—whether it's in his personal life, in his business decisions, or in his role as a father. Even when Darren has felt like giving up, he speaks to the mechanisms he uses to fight back: controlling his thoughts, his tongue, and his temperament. He shares how positive thinking and speaking life into situations has helped him overcome the hardest challenges, even when it feels like life is constantly knocking him down.The Power of Faith in LeadershipFor Darren, his faith is the cornerstone of his resilience. He explains that, although he experiences moments of fear and doubt, he knows that faith—not perfection—is what keeps him going. Resilience comes from having a belief system strong enough to weather the storms of life. Darren explains that faith and doubt can coexist, and they often fuel each other in a powerful way. Doubt is the human experience, but faith provides the strength to carry on and take action in the face of it.The Power of Speech and ThoughtA key part of Darren's approach to resilience is his ability to control his thoughts and words. He describes the discipline it takes to train your thoughts to stay aligned with the promises of his faith. He acknowledges that we all have thoughts of doubt, but it's important to not let those thoughts dictate our reality. Verbalizing life and affirmations helps Darren stay in alignment with his purpose, no matter what challenges come his way.Your Team as a Source of StrengthWe also talk about the importance of having the right support system. Darren explains that resilience can't be done alone—surrounding yourself with people who align with your values and beliefs is critical for navigating life's toughest moments. Darren emphasizes that as leaders, it's crucial to be transparent with your team, especially in difficult times.

Hey Doc,We were taught to equate strength with staying, enduring, proving ourselves.But sometimes the most courageous, grounded, resilient thing you can do… is leave.Leave the job.Leave the school.Leave the situation that is breaking you down in the name of proving your strength.This episode was inspired by a homeschool thread, but it's not about curriculum or education. It's about the lie we've been sold, as physician moms and high achievers, that resilience must be earned through trauma. That pushing through toxic environments is some badge of honor. That peace must be postponed until we've “made it” or proven we can survive the fire.I'm here to offer a different truth:You don't need to stay and suffer to be strong.Whether you're navigating burnout, dealing with a toxic workplace, or watching your child struggle in an unhealthy school system, I want you to know this:Leaving doesn't make you weak.Opting out is not failure.Walking away is the work.Inside this episode:The myth that trauma builds resilience and why we need to unlearn itWhat homeschooling taught me about agency and peaceWhy toxic work environments aren't training grounds, they're danger zonesA permission slip to choose yourself and never meet the version of you on the other side of unnecessary painIf you've been waiting for a sign to put down the struggle and reclaim your peace, this is it.

Send us a textA conversation unlike any other unfolds as Elena Box invites her alter-ego Tabitha Crain—a former NPR correspondent with a BA in performance art and global economics—to interview her about resilience. The result is a profound, often humorous exploration of how we build strength through life's initiations.The dialogue begins with Elena's earliest memory of resilience: a childhood playground moment that taught her about her inner magic and power. Through Tabitha's theatrical questioning, Elena shares the extraordinary experience of her father's passing, including a transcendent moment when golden light filled her room after his death—a sign that "he had made it and was sending a message to let me know all is well."At the heart of this episode lies Elena's philosophy of holding "the sacred in one hand and the silly in the other," as she explains how levity serves as a lifeline during our darkest moments. This approach has shaped her work as a death doula and now informs her newest initiation: motherhood.With remarkable candor, Elena discusses the gap between her expectations and reality as a new mother, despite her extensive preparation. "Our culture still doesn't know what proper support looks like," she reveals, detailing her mission to rebuild the village through women's circles like "The Mother's Well" at her ritual studio. Drawing inspiration from wisdom keepers like Jane Hardwick Collings and Sister Morningstar, Elena advocates for reclaiming meaningful rites of passage around birth, death, and transformation.Throughout this intimate conversation, Elena and Tabitha weave together spirituality, humor, and practical wisdom about building resilience. Whether you're navigating grief, embracing a new chapter, or simply seeking connection in an increasingly isolated world, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on finding strength through community and self-trust.Listen, reflect, and perhaps discover your own unique path to resilience. As Tabitha reminds us: "The more you trust yourself and your path and your gnosis, the more the world becomes whole."Support the showBuy your copy of Elena's book "Grieve Outside the Box"Follow on IG @elenabox

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Episode Overview: In this candid episode, Ashlee and Jennifer turn the mics on themselves to dive into their personal journeys, career paths, and how being raised in first responder families shapes not only your worldview but your entire emotional toolkit. The duo explores themes of resilience, family systems, vulnerability, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences into adult life. Key Topics Covered The First Responder Family System: Jennifer and Ashlee reflect on the unique resilience, values, and awareness that come from growing up in a first responder household. They discuss how these environments often foster critical thinking, acute emotional intelligence, but also present real challenges especially around chaos, structure, and sometimes rigid expectations. Career Paths: Ashlee and Jennifer share their motivating moments that led them to helping professions (social work, mental health), including behind-the-scenes stories about family, pivotal college classes, and the “aha” moments that cemented their purpose. Candid talk about how family experiences (including tough love and the need to “prove ourselves”) shape career choices and attitudes. Family Dynamics & Resiliency: A reflection on the double-edged sword of first responder family dynamics. The strong values and community, alongside the strictness and sometimes unintentionally harsh communication styles that get carried from the field into the home. Insights into how these family systems continue to evolve as children grow into adults and re-negotiate relationships with their parents. Vulnerability & Forgiveness: The importance of parents, especially first responders, showing vulnerability and apologizing when things go wrong. How open, honest dialogue between parent and child can build long-term resilience and deep family bonds, even (or especially) after conflict. Parenting Reflections: Both hosts admit the learning curve of parenting, and the hope to do things differently while acknowledging that every generation makes mistakes. The value of simply saying “I’m sorry” as a parent.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat with Dr. Mark Bonta! In this episode, we dive into the world of burnout—what it really looks like, how it creeps into even the most resilient among us, and, most importantly, what we can do to prevent it. Dr. Mark sits down with Dr. Judy Wright, a physician, performance strategist, burnout survivor, and the founder of JW Health Consulting. Dr. Wright brings a unique blend of medical expertise and personal experience to the conversation, sharing hard-won insights and practical tools that go beyond the surface-level “self-care” advice.From the silent lessons learned in medical school anatomy labs to the coping strategies (and comical dinner table conversations) that help healthcare workers weather the toughest shifts, Mark and Judy unpack what it really means to build resilience in high-stress environments. But these lessons aren't just for doctors and nurses. Whether you're managing a team, running a classroom, or simply juggling daily life, you'll find actionable advice—from five-minute reset techniques to the importance of building a support network before you desperately need one.Get ready for a candid, insightful, and wide-ranging conversation that will challenge you to rethink your approach to stress, burnout, and what it means to truly look after yourself at work and beyond.Episode HighlightsProactively Build Support Systems – Don't wait for crisis—establish a network of support inside and outside work to safeguard mental health and resilience.Normalize Emotional Boundaries – Healthcare workers are taught to compartmentalize; this is protective but needs healthy awareness to prevent detachment or apathy.Coping Skills Should Be Taught – Resilience and compartmentalization should be addressed directly in training, not just absorbed by osmosis or workplace culture.Talking Helps Heal Trauma – Debriefing difficult experiences with colleagues, friends, or professionals significantly boosts emotional processing and resilience.Early Self-Awareness Is Critical – Recognizing feelings of overwhelm or burnout early on is the best prevention, allowing intervention before serious harm is done.Burnout Is a Slow Erosion – It's not sudden; burnout creeps in gradually. Regular self-checks and honest reflection prevent it from taking root.Self-Care Is Individualized – Effective self-care goes beyond popular trends; it must be meaningful and restorative specifically for you.Small Pauses Make a Difference – Taking even a five-minute break—for breath work, movement, hydration, or reflection—can disrupt stress accumulation.Burnout Affects All Life Areas – Professional burnout inevitably spills into personal life, impacting thinking, relationships, and daily functioning.You Can Reinvent Your Career – There are multiple fulfilling paths beyond traditional clinical roles. If the current job isn't right, change is possible.Episode Timestamps 06:02 – Adapting to Cadaver Work 09:05 – Healthcare Workers' Emotional Challenges 10:03 – Emotional Detachment and Coping Mechanisms 13:16 – Debriefing's Role in Mental Health 17:02 – Early Healthcare Career Challenges 19:44 – Balancing Emotions in Medical Training 25:50 – Work-Life Interconnection Dynamics 29:33 – Importance of Building a Support System 30:18 – Integrating Self-Care with Work 34:30 – Exploring Diverse Medical Careers 39:30 – Prioritize Individualized Self-Care 40:54 – Authentic Self-Care Beyond Mani-Pedis 43:29 – Self-Care for Post-Work Recharge 47:40 – Workplace Energy and Self-Assessment 51:10 – Grounding Techniques for Resilience

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party continues to strive to link President Trump to the Epstein case. Unfortunately, no details are being revealed because of the case's sensitive nature, not due to any attempt to hide information by Trump. It is impossible to force the grand jury to reveal this information, as that would infringe upon the privacy rights that are fundamental to every case during its jurisdiction. These so-called influencers are promoting the Epstein issue as a significant concern, yet a CNN poll conducted by Harry Enten shows that interest in the Epstein matter has waned considerably. in addition, we need to exercise extreme caution regarding whom we place our trust in moving forward, as there are numerous backstabbers, particularly when it involves attacking Trump. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene serves as a prime example - many admired her, but the tables have turned as she is a deceitful and sleazy politician. Do we truly want individuals like her to represent us? Absolutely not. This is precisely why she is experiencing a significant decline in support due to her abhorrent actions, and yet she has the nerve to assert that she leads MAGA, which is utterly embarrassing. Also, Washington D.C is getting more dangerous. Just like in NYC and in California, crime is just as bad in Washington D.C.. Trump has a plan to help combat the crime that has been present and affecting the community. Moreover, individuals such as Sen Bernie Sanders pose a significant threat, and it is disheartening to see someone like Dana Bash fawning over Sanders, which is likely contributing to her declining ratings. Sanders endorses the actions of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, supports Zohran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of NYC, and advocates for the erosion of our freedoms through Socialism and Marxism. Lastly, Benjamin Netanyahu isn't going to stop destroying Hamas, until Gaza is free of them. Netanyahu is determined to release all the hostages, and will not stop until they are all home and safe.

When Sarah's car breaks down on the highway with six teenage girls after their perfect Martha's Vineyard vacation, what could have been a disaster becomes an unexpected lesson in joy and resilience. In this vulnerable and insightful episode, Sarah shares how these young women taught her that suffering through life's setbacks is optional, not mandatory. That joy doesn't have to be earned through struggle-it's our birthright when we stop demanding life follow our script. What You'll Learn: How to shift from automatic suffering to conscious joy when plans fall apart Why teenagers often demonstrate better resilience than adults in crisis situations The difference between toxic positivity and genuine emotional flexibility during setbacks How to maintain access to joy even when circumstances aren't ideal Why releasing control over outcomes can lead to unexpected breakthroughs Practical strategies for turning detours into adventures in business and life How to model healthy responses to disruption for others in your care The mindset shift that transforms obstacles into opportunities for deeper connection   In this powerful episode of Game On Girlfriend®, Sarah Walton transforms a highway car breakdown into a masterclass on resilience and joy. When her vehicle dies while driving six teenage girls home from Martha's Vineyard, what begins as every parent's nightmare becomes an unexpected adventure filled with TJ Maxx perfume testing, Starbucks phone charging sessions, and parking lot volleyball games.   Through this raw and honest storytelling, Sarah explores how these young women demonstrated something profound about approaching life's inevitable detours: suffering through setbacks is a choice, not a requirement. While adults often automatically shift into stress mode when plans fall apart, these teenagers showed her how to maintain access to joy regardless of circumstances.   The episode delves deep into the cultural conditioning that teaches us we must "earn" happiness through struggle, and how releasing our grip on control can open us to experiences more beautiful than our original plans. Sarah shares practical insights for business owners and parents about modeling healthy responses to disruption, finding community in chaos, and choosing adventure over anxiety when life doesn't go according to script.   This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine-it's about recognizing that our response to disruption matters more than the disruption itself. That joy is our birthright when we stop demanding the universe follow our timeline.

In the second of our small series on Mental Health at Work, Jenn Mason and I tackled a really challenging episode (as you can see by the title). We jumped right in by asking if resilience is being "weaponized" - used as a justification for harmful systems rather than a skill to be supported.  We explore the dark side of a resilience culture, where praising people for surviving toxic, high-demand environments becomes a smokescreen for the actual problem. What is the difference between empowering people to heal versus requiring them to manage the harm inflicted upon them by broken systems? We talk about how this "grind it out" mentality is often hard-coded generationally, something Jenn and I personally experienced coming up in the Gen X workforce.  We share our own stories and hope you'll enjoy them as well.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Stacy D. D'Andre, M.D. When we diagnose a patient with cancer, we typically focus on finding the most effective treatment for that malignancy: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. However, to a patient, the diagnosis of cancer means much more. Patients commonly experience fear and anxiety just from receiving the diagnosis. Other symptoms may include insomnia, depression, pain, and symptomatic effects from the treatment including nausea, loss of appetite and fatigue to name just a few. The Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center has developed an integrative approach to help patients manage the variety of symptoms associated with malignancy. It centers around a multi-disciplinary team which assesses each patient individually and incorporates a variety of complementary treatments as well as physical and emotional support. It also includes nutrition and dietary supplement counseling and recommendations regarding exercise and movement. In this podcast, we'll learn more about this fascinating approach to treating patients with cancer as we discuss “Integrative Oncology” with my guest, Stacy D. D'Andre, M.D., from the Department of Oncology at the Mayo Clinic.

How can you effectively manage stress and stay composed in high-pressure situations? In this episode, Dr. Susan Bernstein dives into the power of somatic leadership, offering insights on how you can use body signals to transform your responses to time pressures and unexpected changes. Drawing from her extensive experience working with top companies like Cisco and Google, Susan shares practical techniques that foster self-awareness, reduce stress, and enable you to create a sense of calm in chaotic environments. By learning to tune into your body's signals, you can improve decision-making and enhance team dynamics. Susan discusses six common nervous system response patterns—fight, flight, freeze, fawn, fade, and fix—and shows how leaders can shift from a reactive, “fight” mode into a more grounded, mindful approach. This shift not only alleviates stress but also boosts resilience and fosters a healthier workplace culture. Susan is the CEO of a boutique consulting firm called Powerful Under Pressure. As the name implies, she helps leaders and teams at companies like Cisco, Google, and Uber excel under the most demanding conditions.  Susan combines her past experiences in leadership roles at Intel and Accenture with an MBA from UC Berkeley and a PhD in Somatic Psychology in her work with clients. Susan developed the Powerful Under Pressure framework to help organizations strengthen operational capacity by increasing the resilience and clarity of the people leading them. This emphasis equips teams to navigate complexity with sound judgment and sustained performance. You'll discover: The concept of "somatic smarts" and how small shifts in body awareness can lead to greater leadership effectivenessThe six nervous system response patterns and how they impact your decisionsSimple somatic techniques you can use to enhance self-awareness and relaxationHow self-awareness can help you navigate high-pressure situations with calmness and clarityStrategies for supporting your team in managing stress and building resilienceCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

Then we shift to our guest, the remarkable Gisselle Pardo, a licensed clinical social worker, public health professional, educator, and advocate.We dig into what it really means to be a social worker right now.
