What Does Resilience Cost?

What does it mean to be resilient? And is resilience something we can actually practice? In this episode, we explore resilience through the lens of first responders, who experience repeated exposure to trauma, and then turn the question toward the rest of us. Can we intentionally build our capacity to handle the hard, unexpected parts of life? And how do you prepare for experiences you can’t possibly anticipate? We also wrestle with a question that doesn’t get asked nearly as often: What does resilience cost us? When we become really good at pushing through, adapting and carrying on, is there a point when resilience comes at a price?
