After a very timely break...we're back! You'll see why I say timely in a moment, let me just tell you how this episode is packed with super interesting discussions. And that's the case because we had a very special guest for the restart, Dr. Uta Schmidt. Uta has a super interesting personal and professional story, but most importantly, she has the deepest insight into how to handle change and remain resilient in the process. Some of the topics we discuss with Uta in this episode include:
- Why Uta picked "bamboo" as the word of the day
- Anthony Back, palliative care & oncologist: taking responsibility, victim roles, defining yourself what you want, where you go, living life consciously and fulfilled
- Why it matters to make yourself aware that it is YOUR ability to respond
- How you can take charge
- Why resilience is an active process
- How "resilience" is (yet again) no more than a set of skills you can work on
- Why it is crucial to move away from destructive environments
- How to develop healthy boundaries (this is difficult with a newborn 😉)
- How sometimes having a Plan B makes you much more resilient even for plan A
- Why you should start working from strengths and make the best of them
- What it means to regulate emotions and how it can be achieved
- How to express reasonable expectations
- The key to staying authentic and true to yourself
- How often resilience develops with age
- Why you should try to not look back in anger
- How hugging can improve your resilience
As you can see, it's a long list of fascinating topics that we chatted about, and we hope you can find some inspiration for your newly developed resilience! 🙂
Oh, and before I forget...the topic of this episode came very timely because I (Eva) recently became a mother ❤️ If giving birth and adjusting to life with a new family member does not require resilience, then what does... ;-) - Enjoy listening and let us know what you think!
