The Bend Like Bamboo Blog.
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.
The Two Faces of Resilience: Bending and Holding Firm
When life places a brick wall in front of us, what defines us is not the wall itself, but how we choose to meet it. Stress is not necessarily the problem, stress can be very good for us to grow. Science shows that it is how we recover from inevitable challenges that matters, leading to a happier life.
Bamboo can flex with the storm—but only because it’s rooted deep in the earth. True resilience is the same: flexibility on the outside, rock-solid grounding within.
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.
