Summary
In this mini-episode, Kimi and Christy talk resilience, persistence, growth mindset and the importance of hope in navigating adversity - all qualities Kimi’s guest Shabana Basij-Rasik embodies in her drive to provide Afghan girls with a rigorous education under Taliban rule. Christy and Kimi share their own stories of persistence and the role optimism has played in helping Christy (in particular) cultivate more resilience and wellbeing. The conversation ends with a simple but impactful strategy to try next time you are faced with a challenge: Reach out! People need people, now more than ever.

| 0:57.4 | Hello and welcome to this week's episode of A Little Wiser. Today we are going to talk about |
