Fostering Resilience: Striving to Thriving with Cindy Thompson
In this episode of The FoundHer Series, host Carrie Scollon interviews Cindy Thompson about resilience and how it plays a crucial role in overcoming life's challenges. Cindy is the host of A Resilience Project Podcast, a registered clinical counsellor, and a certified life coach. She defines resilience as the ability to bounce back after difficulties, much like a marshmallow returning to its shape. Cindy emphasizes the importance of recognizing the strength we already possess, often discovered in hindsight after navigating tough times. She shares the significance of building resilience through using daily resilience practices, trying new things, and rewiring our brains by looking for the good. Carrie and Cindy discuss practical ways to foster resilience:
using the power of community support and the concept of "radical interdependence"
the role of self-compassion
getting out of your comfort zone
a wonderful visual of the situation of comparing yourself to others.

“Adversity is inevitable, while resilience is a practice. Life isn’t perfect, but if we go into it with the mindset that we can cope with whatever comes our way, we are better equipped to handle challenges.”
