In this conversation, I sit down with clinical psychologist, resilience expert, author and TEDx speaker Dr Kate Lund to explore what resilience really means — beyond grit and perseverance — and how it’s rooted in the nervous system, connection, and context.

We unpack why traditional approaches to strength and stress leave many high-achieving women feeling drained, and dive into evidence-based, practical ways to build calm, confidence and capacity, not just push through. Dr Kate shares her insights on parenting, emotional intelligence and sustainable resilience that works for everyday life.

Whether you’re navigating overwhelm at work, at home, or both, this episode reframes resilience as a skill you can cultivate — and gives you tangible ideas for how to do it. Dr Kate Lund is a licensed clinical psychologist, resilience expert, best-selling author and TEDx speaker. With advanced training from hospitals affiliated with Harvard Medical School and decades of clinical practice, she helps parents, high performers and leaders build emotional intelligence, manage stress and thrive within their unique contexts. She’s the author of Bounce: Help Your Child Build Resilience and Thrive in School, Sports and Life and Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting, and hosts her own work on resilience through writing, speaking and coaching.
