You’ll also walk away with three practical tools to rebuild self-trust and rise up in your own timing—even if it’s messy.
📝 Show Notes:
In this episode, Kim shares:


Why resilience is more than a highlight reel


Her personal experience with the "ugly middle" of transformation


Why the phrase “bounce back” is misleading and damaging


The mental and emotional cost of always being the strong one


What real success looks like when you're not in performance mode


🧠 Key Takeaways:


Resilience isn’t fast, glamorous, or linear. It’s often slow, gritty, and awkward—and that’s okay.


You don’t need to turn your pain into poetry. Sometimes it’s just pain. And that alone is valid.


Comparison will kill your confidence. Everyone’s bounce-back timeline is different, and social media doesn’t show the whole story.


Showing up while messy is a power move. It creates real connection—not just content.


Real resilience builds in the quiet, behind the scenes, when no one’s cheering but you.


🛠️ 3 Practical Tools to Build Grit & Self-Trust:


Disappoint People On Purpose Let go of needing to be understood by everyone. Sometimes resilience means doing what’s best for you—even when others don’t approve.


Let Yourself Be Seen in the In-Between Stop waiting for the polished “after.” There’s power in showing up mid-process, even if it’s awkward and incomplete.


Practice Micro Trust Rebuild confidence by keeping one small promise to yourself each day—whether it’s brushing your teeth when you say you will or skipping sugar just for today. These tiny acts compound into self-respect.


🔥 Quote Pullout:
“If your life doesn’t look polished right now, I’m so f*cking glad—because that means you’re in the middle of choosing resilience.”
