Episode 313: Building What’s Next When Things Fall Apart: A Powerful Conversation Series on Resiliency
What does it really look like to rebuild when life falls apart? In this special episode on resiliency, Kara is joined by four women: Anne Watson, Karen “Duff” Duffy, Michelle Jernigan, and Rup Duhra. They've lived through loss, illness, heartbreak, and transformation. Together they share how they stayed grounded, found purpose again, and made space for healing. From chronic pain to career pivots to rethinking what power looks like, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn't come from pushing through, but from tuning in. This conversation explores resilience, identity, and the daily practices that help us keep going, and keep building, when things get hard.
“With gratitude, optimism is sustainable. And if you can find something to be grateful for, then you can find something to look forward to, and you carry on.”
