What does resilience look like before you have the tools?

In this first part of our two-part conversation, Rocky and Tessa open up about the personal and professional moments that tested them most—before they had a framework for building resilience. From early challenges in business to deeply personal turning points, they share the real, unfiltered stories that shaped who they are today.

If you’ve ever felt like you were figuring it out as you went—or wondered how to keep going when things get messy—this episode will feel like a conversation with friends who’ve been there.

💡 Key Takeaways

1. Resilience is often built in the middle of the mess, not after it’s over.
2. Vulnerability can be a bridge to stronger relationships and opportunities.
3. Sometimes the most defining lessons come from your hardest seasons.
4. You don’t have to have it all figured out to keep moving forward.
5. Sharing your story can be a tool for healing—for you and others.
