Welcome to The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show
We discover that our greatest challenges often become our greatest strengths.
Each month, I sit down with remarkable leaders who've transformed adversity into triumph, sharing their inspiring journeys of resilience and renewal. Together, we explore the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and breakthrough moments that turned their setbacks into comebacks.
What you'll discover:
Real stories of people who've learned to bend without breaking, actionable tools to transform stress into strength, and evidence that when we change our story, we change what's possible for our health, relationships, and future.
Like bamboo, we're designed to be flexible.
When we embrace this truth, we don't just survive life's storms - we use them to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.
Join me as we explore how flexibility builds unshakeable resilience.
You're Not Broken—You're Just Running the Wrong Program
Most of us wake up exhausted, push through the day, collapse at night, and repeat. It’s a neural pattern. But resilience isn’t built by pushing harder — it’s built by rewiring.
Your body isn’t fighting you — it’s following the program you’ve been running. Start a new one… and watch your energy, clarity, confidence, and resilience update with it

Beyond the Buzzword: What's Really Driving Your Stress, and How to Break Free
You’re not burning out because you lack discipline.

What It Really Means to Bounce Back Wholeheartedly
Resilience isn’t about snapping back. It’s about coming back whole.
When life knocks us down—through illness, stress, or heartbreak—we often aim to “bounce back.”
If a part of us remains fractured or depleted, we haven’t fully returned.
This is the heart of Bend Like Bamboo: to rise again in wholeness, not just survival.

When Blake didn’t make the men’s state team, he was shocked. He was sure he was in, and this was something he had to overcome in his mind. He had to learn to get out of his head and find stability within himself to face his first rejection. At age 17, this setback was unexpected but it taught him so much.
Since this event, has continued to develop himself as a person and hasn’t looked back. He believes it is a critical part of being a successful athlete.
