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.

True Resilience Isn't About the Problem—It's How We Orient Ourselves Around It
We often treat our healing in pieces—managing stress here, tending to our body there. In my conversation with Casey Stevens, she beautifully reminded us that resilience shows up in the quality of our connections

Healing MS with the power of herbalism and nutrition
When life gets hard, we often close off. But what if true healing begins by opening up again?
Like bamboo, we find strength in flexibility. As I’ve learned in my own journey, healing begins when we soften—when we shift from fear to openness.
That’s what I explored with Kerri Van Arsdale on the podcast—how nutrition, herbalism, and emotional tools can help us not just survive illness, but truly live again.
Unlocking Mental Resilience: Tips on How to Feel Better Mentally
When life feels heavy, our instinct is often to retreat inward or to carry the load quietly. The moment we say, “I’m struggling”, everything starts to shift.
Understanding stress, anxiety, and your mental patterns gives you tools—not just to cope, but to grow. At Bend Like Bamboo, we believe resilience starts with one small, courageous conversation at a time.
How adversity can build inner strength
Have you ever faced a moment so difficult, you weren’t sure you’d make it through?
We all have. But those are the exact moments that forge our strength.
At Bend Like Bamboo, we teach that resilience is bending through the chaos and coming out stronger and wiser.
I had the honour of discussing this with Matt Rowe on the podcast—an inspiring reminder that adversity is not the enemy.
The Secret to Unshakeable Inner and Outer Confidence
What if confidence isn’t what you show… but how you feel?
We often think confidence is in the posture, the voice, the smile. But when stress, illness, or burnout hits, that outer image can feel hollow.
The good news? You can rebuild confidence from the inside out.
At Bend Like Bamboo, we help you restore this inner-outer alignment so you can rise stronger—both in your health and in life.
Finding Your Inner Compass as Guidance for Healing
Ever felt like you don’t know where to go next… but something inside just keeps nudging you forward? That’s your inner compass, and it’s one of the most powerful tools you already have.
At Bend Like Bamboo, we guide you to reconnect with yourself so you can walk through life’s challenges with clarity, strength, and grace. Even when life feels chaotic or uncertain, resilience is about learning to tune in, trust the process, and return to what feels true for you.
Resilience Is The Heart’s Pathway to Healing
When life shifts in unexpected ways—like the end of a relationship or separation—it’s your heart that breaks before anything else.
Too often, we overlook the emotional toll and rush, but with resilience, we get to transform pain into growth, uncertainty into clarity, and vulnerability into strength.
It’s time to rise, rebuild, and rediscover your purpose.
