Do you remember the excitement of holiday gifts as a kid? I sure do. Eight nights of Hanukkah sounded amazing—until it turned into one night of cool stuff and seven nights of… socks. Then there was my first Christmas at nine years old, and let me tell you, it changed my life. Twinkle lights? Cookies? PRESENTS?! Sign me up.

But let’s be real. There are only so many candles, socks, and gift cards people can pretend to be excited about. It’s time to upgrade your gift game. Enter the Resilience Reset Deep Dive—the gift that doesn’t need batteries, won’t go out of style, and will never, ever shrink in the dryer.

Having friendships and a sense of belonging is considered a core psychological need and has a big impact on our physical and mental health.

In fact, it has been proven that social connection is one of the best predictors of longevity, which is why I've dedicated an entire module in the Resilience Reset Deep Dive to the importance of social connection to build resilience.

1. Social Connection Fuels Resilience

Research shows that strong relationships are the foundation of resilience. They offer support, reduce stress, and help us bounce back faster from challenges. Building meaningful connections is like creating a safety net that helps us thrive, even in difficult times.

2. The Power of Small Gestures

Resilience doesn’t always come from deep conversations—it can be nurtured through simple acts of kindness, reaching out, or just spending time with others. Small efforts can strengthen bonds and remind us we’re not alone, helping to build a sense of belonging. Pause right now and send a text to someone you've been meaning to reach out to just to say hello and tell them how much you appreciate them.

3. Relationships Build Emotional Strength

When we connect with others, we gain new perspectives, emotional support, and accountability, which are critical in navigating life’s ups and downs. Investing in relationships is an investment in our emotional health and resilience.

4. How to Cultivate Your Circle

In the Social Connection module, we’ll explore ways to identify and nurture your personal support network. From practical tips on building new connections to strengthening existing ones, you’ll learn how to create a resilient support system for yourself and others.

Here's what my girls Wendy and Daisy have taught me about the importance of connection.

Add resilience to your schedule. ⏰

You can’t be resilient when you have nothing to give, so stress-free activities should be part of your weekly routine. What do you wish you had more time for? What “just for fun” activity can you put on your calendar? Make sure you’re not just prioritizing schedules but actively scheduling your priorities. #fillyourcup

Yesterday marked two weeks since my spine surgery. I wanted to give you a quick update and thank you all so much for the overwhelming love and support you have shown me and my family.

I am now officially a ½ inch taller! I still have a long road ahead, but every day gets better and better.

Resilience comes from the lessons we learn during the tough stuff. It has been a humbling experience to have to ask for help for just about everything. I have always prided myself on being fiercely independent, but this has taught me that real strength comes from asking for help when you need it and accepting it with gratitude and appreciation.

I hope you’ll remember to ask for help when you need it. We aren’t meant to go through life alone. We all need help. It doesn’t make you a burden, and it certainly doesn’t make you weak. If you need help, ask for it. If you are able to help, offer it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your love and prayers.

Grief is a lifelong process, and there are so many reasons why we may experience grief. Loss of a loved one, a friendship that fizzles out, a crushing career decision — the list goes on and on. So, what can you do to begin to work through your grief?

What is vulnerability?

It’s not a weakness — it can be your greatest source of courage.

Vulnerability, honesty, and openness are requirements for a more resilient life.
