🎙️ Exciting news! 🎙️

Today we're discussing the power of social connectedness as one of the jigsaw pieces that contribute to "resilience"

Julie South shares invaluable insights on how building meaningful relationships can strengthen your resilience quotient. 

Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:

1. Social connectedness is vital for resilience: Research shows that being socially connected leads to longer, healthier lives. Meaningful relationships, emotional support, and a sense of belonging all contribute to our overall well-being and ability to cope with challenges.

It creates a strong foundation of trust, care, and mutual understanding, leading to enhanced vulnerability and growth. The act of supporting others helps provide a sense of purpose and personal growth, which directly strengthens our resilience.

3. Strengthening social connections for enhanced resilience: There are numerous ways to enhance social connectedness, from reconnecting with friends to exploring new interests or hobbies. Joining groups or activities that align with your interests can naturally lead to forming meaningful social connections, ultimately strengthening your resilience.

Revive Your Drive - daily 2-minute videos for employers and employees to revive their drives at work and at home.

Sometimes life gets in the way of everything - oftentimes it can feel like a whirlwind of chaos.  Without learned tools, tips and skills, it's natural to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate through the storm. 

Join me, Julie South, as we dive fearlessly into the turbulence, teasing out the knots of "buyer's remorse" in job transitions, and uncovering the definitive aspects of resilience as per the American Psychological Association. 

We'll dissect why it's essential to process struggles rather than resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms, and lift the veil on the debilitating pressure to always appear strong. 

Today we look at the importance of embarking on a quest to seek positivity amidst chaos, learn to disassemble massive challenges into digestible portions, and cultivate resilience not just in ourselves but also in our children. 

Then, we'll look at the tricky landscape of job regret (the recruitment equivalent of buyers' remorse) after choosing a new career path to come out stronger on the other side. 

Plug in, and let this episode fan the flames of resilience and positivity in your life.
