Resilient Voices – Special Episode (Part Two): Building Resilience Beyond the Moment

This special episode of @ResilientVoices – The Podcast is the second in a two-part series featuring MaryAnn Voli and Jessica Schultz in an honest and thought-provoking conversation about resilience—what it really means, how we build it, and why it matters.

In this second and final part of our special series, Mary Ann Voli and Jessica Schultz continue their deep and meaningful conversation about resilience—this time focusing on what happens after the moment of crisis. The ongoing work of resilience: the quiet, powerful steps of reflection, recovery, and renewal.

They discuss the importance of self-awareness, support systems, and how we can intentionally strengthen our capacity to meet future challenges with greater clarity and confidence. When the immediate stress subsides, what comes next? How do we process what we’ve been through, rebuild from it, and integrate the lessons into our lives moving forward?

Building on their earlier discussion of fear—whether we Forget Everything And Run, or Face Everything And Rise—they now turn to how we can make peace with our responses and grow from them. Because resilience isn’t just about how we act in the moment—it’s about how we heal and evolve afterward. Sometimes, it’s about facing the “shit” life throws at us and realising we’re stronger than we think.

Women, in particular, are often asked to carry more—but we also have the power to rise, adapt, and evolve.

This episode offers encouragement, practical insight, and a reminder that resilience is not a trait you either have or don’t—it’s a practice. One that we all can cultivate, with care and intention.

✨ And throughout it all, there’s space for gratitude—for the small moments of grace, for what we already have, and even for the challenges that come our way. Because every difficulty carries the potential to teach us something essential, and every experience adds depth to who we are becoming. Whether you’re in the midst of a personal challenge or looking to deepen your emotional strength, this episode is a grounding, inspiring reminder that resilience is within reach—and it’s a practice worth choosing every day.
