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.
Align your goals with the belief that it can be possible, to turn your dreams into a reality.
Are you not feeling as confident, motivated, happy, and energised as you’d like to be?
Are you wanting to connect and attract more loving and fulfilling relationships?
Do you get stuck in your head, overthinking / analysing?
Do you sabotage your success unable to make things happen for yourself?
Are you lacking self-belief?
I felt the same way all throughout my teens and 20’s. I wanted so much from my life, I am a go-getter and I go for what I want. I wanted to love, I wanted career success and I wanted to be healthy to enjoy it all. But I kept sabotaging my goals and they never seemed to turn into the reality I was daydreaming about. I was scared, and deep down inside, I didn’t realise that I was blocking these wonderful life experiences, because I didn’t feel worthy of having them. I was also scared of how my relationships and connection to the people I loved would change, should I step into success.

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Featuring Simone Landes, founder of The Lifestyle Suite.
Simone felt lost initially when she left her corporate career. She had put so much effort into her career, so this move was scary but she decided she had to give it a shot. She was ‘living to work’ instead of ‘working to live’. She did not have enough family time as a consequence, which led to a lack of a sense of fulfillment.
