We shares insights from my latest book, which focuses on breaking the pattern of relying on resilience alone and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and sustainability.

We provide valuable strategies for monitoring and building a strong baseline of resilience, offering actionable steps for creating a structure to check in with ourselves and avoid self-destructive thoughts.
