Summary

Emma McLaren with GetMyrth discusses resilience and how it can be used to improve stress. Episode 1936: What is Resilience and How Can It Improve Your Stress by Emma McLaren of Get Myrth After nearly a decade of globetrotting as a sustainable seafood consultant and ocean conservation warrior, Emma is planting roots. She’s lived, worked or explored in over 60 countries – 45 in the last 10 years. Quite a feat, but given Emma’s ambition, intensely supportive global network of family and friends, and powerful curiosity, it’s not all that surprising. You may have heard of her persona, Emma the Nomad? These days, though, she prefers to be known as a nomad-in-residence--to be more specific, a resident of Santa Cruz, where she’s growing her own roots alongside the coastal trees. She’s passionate about true self care, mental health experiences, and solo travel. You can usually find her devouring books, practicing yoga, or dreaming big about the future of Myrth. Myrth is a member of the Digital Wellness Collective. Built around human connection and community, Myrth sets its intention on normalizing self-care and creating better habits through accountability, partnership and simplicity, all encompassed in software.

0:21.9	What is resilience and how can it improve your stress by Emma McLaren of GetMurth.com?
0:27.2	Are you brittle? More are you flexible? Do you break under pressure or do you bend and then rise back up?
0:35.3	That's a trick question, because here at Merth, we believe in having a growth mindset.
0:41.2	That means personality traits aren't so much innate as they are something that can be cultivated.
0:46.3	Resilience, the ability to bend under pressure but not break and then return to something resembling normal,
0:52.0	there's no different from any other trait. In our current world, the ability to be resilient is

1:13.6	and self-esteem might have taken a serious battering lately. Resilience can help you get through this
1:19.1	rough patch and onto the other side. A quick note before we dive in, some people use resilience
1:24.8	as a way to blame people who haven't managed to overcome major systemic obstacles that have

1:34.8	Sometimes there are forces outside our control that are so unjust and so enormous that it's
1:39.6	reasonable to spend time feeling overwhelmed by them. We can't stay in that place of overwhelmed
1:44.3	forever though, if for no other reason that we need to eat and move and live. That's where resilience
1:49.9	comes in. What is resilience anyway? Resilience has been a buzzword in education since at least
