What if resilience isn’t about pushing through, but about coming home to yourself?
In this powerful and practical conversation, Melie is joined by Monica Bodurka, founder of the Leadership Wellness Group, who blends neuroscience, yoga therapy, and lived wisdom to help people reignite the flame of resilience—especially in life’s dumpster fire moments.

You’ll learn:
Why resilience isn’t just about “bouncing back”—and how to build it like a savings account
What’s actually happening in your nervous system during heartbreak and upheaval
How to create psychological safety in your own body before trusting others again
The surprising connection between sleep, resilience, and emotional regulation
Why regulating your nervous system can change how others respond to you (yes, even on dating apps)
Plus: Monica shares simple, science-backed tools for calming your body in 60 seconds or less—and explains how resilience is possible at any age, thanks to neuroplasticity.
Whether you’re in the thick of the mess or trying to find your spark again, this conversation will help you feel grounded, hopeful, and empowered to move forward.
