ABOUT THIS EPISODE


Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to build more grit and resilience in our life and how to keep going even when things feel really hard.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had moments in your life where you know you’re supposed to do something — maybe it’s a career path you’re supposed to pursue or a dream you want to accomplish. But at some point along the road, we meet some resistance. Things start to feel really hard, we can’t get over something that happened in our past that makes us feel like we’re not good enough, we feel like we’re falling short compared to everyone else around us, we’re wondering if maybe we’re just not cut out for this.

So how do we move past those obstacles? How do we keep moving forward and not give up?

To help us answer those questions, I invited my dear friend, Bianca Juarez Olthoff, back on the show. Bianca is a bestselling Christian Author, Speaker, and Podcast Host. She recently released her brand new book called, Grit Don't Quit. In it she helps readers cultivate perseverance, embrace resilience, and embark on a life of purpose. And that’s what she’s helping us do today! 

Here are just a few of the things she’s going to be teaching us:

  • How we can train our brains to be more resilient

  • How to keep going even when things feel really hard or even painful

  • How to combat feeling like we’re falling short or falling behind

  • How to hear from God and keep pursuing what He has for us

  • And so much more!


Whether you’re trying to figure out your next steps in life, in a relationship, or in your career, this episode might just be the nudge you need to keep moving forward. I hope so.
