Resistance vs. Resilience: Becoming Aware of What You’re Pushing Against
In the opening episode of Season Four of The Resilient Mother Podcast, we begin the year with awareness — not pressure.
This reflective conversation explores how resistance quietly shows up in motherhood, identity, and daily life, and why resilience begins with noticing rather than forcing.
