And for the listeners and leaders who want to learn more about you, about your work, where can they find you?

If there's one thing that the listeners could leave this conversation with, what are you hoping they'll take away from it?

Beautiful.

Enjoy.

Most of us think about resilience as a mental quality, something in the mind.

We think if we could just think differently, reframe things more quickly, all developmental toughness will be able to handle stress and uncertainty without it wearing us down.

But what if the most powerful tool for resilience isn't in your head at all?

What if it's beating in your chest right now?

The heart-brain connection.

Is not focusing on the heart preventing us from actually getting the results?

My guest today has spent three decades at the forefront of research into one of the most underexplored frontiers in health and human performance, the heart-brain connection.

She's the president and co-CEO of HeartMath, an organization with over 500 independent studies validating its work, used by the Department of Defense, the VA, NASA, Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, and millions of individuals in over 100 countries.

Dr. Debra Rosman is a behavioral psychology, co-author of the Transforming Books series and Heart Intelligence, and one of the world's leading voices on heart coherence, heart rate variability, and the science of emotional resilience.

Her work has helped everyone from special force operators to burnt out healthcare workers to Olympic athletes learn to self-regulate their nervous system and transform the way they respond to stress on a biological level.

Deborah, welcome to The Resilient Mind.
