Do you know someone who is tired dealing with life’s obstacles?

Sometimes, life can be too overwhelming. It is filled with many ups and downs that test your character. 

Would you like to learn the  tools and strategies to help you cultivate resilience and release your brilliance so you can get through the crisis beyond and thrive?

Mary Fran Bontempo and Kristin Smedley are Resilience experts, TEDx speakers, best-selling authors, media hosts and co-founders of Brilliantly Resilient.

So let me share some of my favorite lines from this interview:

“I think both of us may have come to the realization that what was in our control was nothing, and therefore we had to go out and find other people. The only thing that we could control was that we both had a skill set. This is where you kind of rely on your skill set. We both are teachers by education, and we both realized we have no idea. So then we realized that we had to build a tribe. So that’s when you kind of rely on your skill set and go.”
-Mary Fran Botempo

“When people focus on all the things that are not in their control, all their energy is sucked away, and then there’s no energy left to focus on things that are in your control.”
-Dr. Rozina

“You cannot be married to outcomes, do not be married to an outcome that when you initiate an action step, you think, you know, x y z is going to happen. And if it doesn’t you’re just going to fall apart again. So, initiate an action step, but be prepared to evolve and be flexible with the situation.’”
-Mary Fran Botempo
