Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we take on a word we’ve all heard, but maybe haven’t fully defined: Resilience. Ken and Jim bring their own stories of disappointment, illness, and everyday struggles — and pair them with what research says about resilience and aging.What comes through is that resilience isn’t just grit or positivity. It’s a kind of consciousness — remembering what you’ve already come through, and believing you have the resources to face what’s ahead.For Gen X, now staring down the realities of aging, that awareness matters perhaps more than ever. Resilience isn’t always loud or heroic. Sometimes it’s as simple as showing up, bending but not breaking, and trusting that the tough stuff you’ve survived before can guide you through what comes next.Leave your thoughts via Fan Mail
