How to Build Resilience When Life Keeps Knocking You Down

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. You can be doing everything right and still get knocked down. But resilience? That’s what determines whether you stay down or rise again. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to build resilience, shift your mindset, and keep going, no matter what life throws at you. If you’re feeling frustrated, exhausted, or on the verge of giving up, this is your sign: You were BUILT for this. Let’s talk about how to not just survive but thrive.

• Why resilience is a must-have skill for life, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
• Practical tools to help you reframe setbacks and push through challenges.
• How biblical leaders like Joseph, Ruth, and Paul embodied resilience.
• Actionable steps to keep moving forward, even when you feel like quitting.
• The power of gratitude, support systems, and celebrating small wins.

Setbacks are part of life, but staying down is a choice. Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back, it’s about rising stronger. You were built for this, and God’s not done with your story yet. So, get back up, dust yourself off, and remind life that your comeback is coming.

Your Next Level Requires You to Unlearn Some Things (Letting Go of What’s Keeping You Small)

You’re praying for the next level, more impact, more income, more freedom, but are you actually ready for it? The biggest thing keeping you stuck isn’t what you need to learn, but what you need to unlearn. Old beliefs, toxic habits, and outdated mindsets won’t serve your future. In this episode, we’re breaking down why unlearning is the key to leveling up, how to recognize what’s holding you back, and how to let go so you can step into your purpose fully.

• Why staying the same is costing you more than you think.
• The toxic beliefs, habits, and fears you need to unlearn to grow.
• Why unlearning feels so hard, and how to push through it.
• A practical framework for replacing old patterns with new, empowering ones.
• Tools like journaling, accountability, and scripture meditation to guide your transformation.

Your next level is already waiting for you, but you can’t reach it while holding onto what’s keeping you small. Growth requires release, faith, and a willingness to step into the unknown. So ask yourself: What do you need to unlearn today so you can step into your tomorrow?

💬 Question For Your Reflection: What’s one belief, habit, or fear you need to unlearn? DM me or tag me on social media, I want to hear it!
