Listen "Episode 1 – Capacity Before Crisis: Why Resilience Isn’t the First Step"
Episode Synopsis
In the first episode of the Capacity Before Crisis mini-series, Warren Davies The Unbreakable Farmer breaks open the myth of resilience and asks the raw, honest question so many of us avoid:
What happens when you keep dusting yourself off… and eventually run out of dust?
For decades, we’ve been taught to “just keep going” through droughts, floods, bushfires, market crashes, family pressure and mental health struggles. But resilience isn’t the first step in coping with life’s challenges. It’s the outcome of something far more important:
Capacity.
In this episode, Warren:
shares his own complicated relationship with resilience
explains why pushing through comes at a cost
introduces the concept of capacity as the foundation of wellbeing
explores how individuals and communities quietly lose their “dust”
highlights why we need to prepare before crisis hits
This is a powerful, grounded conversation about emotional preparedness, community strength, and shifting the way we approach mental health and adversity.
Raw. Real. Needed.
If you’ve ever felt like the bounce-back isn’t there anymore, this episode will speak directly to you.
