The word resilience is a positive connotation, but it feels very negative when you hear it. And the reason it feels negative now, you're like, oh, don't tell me to be resilient. It's because that definition has changed and morphed societally. We've moved away from true resilience towards toxic resilience. And so what is true resilience?

True resilience, it's like, like I said, it's your innate biology. We all have that ability to be resilient. It honors boundaries. It honors your human limitations for rest and recovery.

It's a mind over matter mindset. It's productivity at all costs. It's like all systems go all the time. It's the energizer bunny here in the US, you know, just keep going. In the UK, keep calm and carry on. Every single society has some concept of toxic resilience because it's a manifestation of hustle culture.
