Episode 41: Real Resilience for the Year Ahead
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026

Resilience is often described as “pushing through” or “bouncing back” — but for many people, that idea feels exhausting and unrealistic. In this episode, Dr Laura explores what resilience actually looks like in real life and why struggling, feeling tired, or feeling changed by difficult experiences does not mean you’re lacking resilience. You’ll hear: • why resilience isn’t about coping perfectly or staying positive • how resilience is built through adaptation, not erasing what you’ve been through • three practical ways to strengthen your resilience without burning out: • allowing yourself to make mistakes • being realistic about consistency • noticing how your thinking shifts under pressure This episode is a compassionate reframe for anyone who feels worn down by life, uncertain about their capacity to cope, or tired of being told to “just be stronger”. Dr Laura also shares a short resilience quiz to help you understand how your coping systems are doing right now — not as a test, but as a starting point.
