Summary
If there’s one thing we all need while the world grapples with COVID-19, it’s the reassurance that we are resilient. Throughout human history, we have withstood some of the greatest challenges imaginable, suffered with strength, and recovered. That’s why today we’re launching the new Resilience Series! Our guests for the next six weeks all have incredible stories and timely messages for our world today.
This week, we are deeply privileged to learn from Dr. Edith Eger – a psychologist, author, and one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors old enough to remember life in the camps. Dr. Eger has worked with veterans, military personnel, and victims of physical and mental trauma. Today, she has a powerful message to share with us all.

| 0:08.3 | Noon Day Collection. While today we are beginning a new series and you're not going to believe this but we've |
| 0:15.6 | been planning it for a while and it's all about resilience. So much of the Going Scared Podcast is about the process of being brave. |

| 1:07.4 | We were remodeling and weren't living in our home and other falls that you heard about throughout 2019 on this podcast because if there's one thing I do well, |

| 1:34.0 | And yeah, the circumstances were challenging and hard, |
| 1:38.0 | but it was my acute awareness |
| 1:41.0 | at how I was responding to those circumstances that sent me on a new unlearning |
| 1:48.4 | and then relearning journey. I needed to learn resilience. This new podcast series is an invitation for us to learn how we can |
