And we're not supposed to say this.

There are some workplaces where they use resilience training programs really as a cover.

Emotional suppression is not a healthy facet to add to the process of trying to be resilient.

People have this social assumption that being resilient only looks like positivity.

Building pressure and pressure and pressure and pressure.

If there's no release valve, you go boom.

Leaders naturally enjoy better mental health and less mental illness by virtue of their position.

It costs trust.

It costs psychological safety.

Struggle and success and effectiveness can all exist in the same body, regardless of job title.

Education without action won't create any change.

Thank you so much for having me.

I've really been looking forward to this conversation.

And the way you explained that, I couldn't have said it better myself.

I love that question.

And I really appreciated how you were talking about not pushing through in silence.

And I often find that people forget what the actual definition of resilience is, healthfully bouncing back from adversity.

Now, people tend to believe that what resilience looks like is pushing through, making it through.

Oftentimes what people are getting wrong is they're pushing it through and making it through to their own detriment.

And I think they're forgetting that they need to pair healthful behaviors with being resilient.
