  • Tools for Emotional Resilience: Building Strength from Within
    Apr 18 2025

    Episode 14 – In this episode of Getting Through Today, we’re diving into one of the most essential skills for navigating life’s toughest moments: emotional resilience.

    From chronic illness to personal loss, caregiving to career transitions, resilience isn’t about pushing through and pretending everything’s fine—it’s about honoring our struggles, learning to bend without breaking, and finding strength in the messy, beautiful reality of being human.

    Brita shares raw, personal stories—from running nine miles despite exhaustion to witnessing her husband’s quiet strength during her illness—and offers a heartfelt guide to building resilience when life feels impossibly hard. You’ll walk away with practical tools like mindful breathing, emotional journaling, creative expression, grounding exercises, and the reminder that leaning on others is a form of strength—not weakness.

    Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of being “strong” all the time, this episode is your gentle nudge to keep going, one small step at a time. Because resilience isn’t about doing it alone—it’s about remembering you’re never alone in this journey.
