LISTEN: TEDx Speaker talks to us about building resilience
Updated | By Di Macpherson
Istanbul-based Şule Kutlay Gandur is an international leadership coach,
TEDx Speaker and resilience expert. She and 'DrD' unpack and discuss
resilience and how to develop it in this week's Thrive with 'DrD' podcast.
We're so busy running after optimism and we're so busy running after happiness, but life is not about that. Life is about meaning. And what makes life meaningful is the happy moments together with the unhappy ones, and the earlier you accept that, the more resilient your mindset will be.- Şule Kutlay Gandur
Did you know that resilience is a subject that's starting to be taught in some schools abroad? Resilience is a life skill that Şule Kutlay believes is vital for young and old to know as it's so fundamental to our lives, especially during challenging times.
In this podcast, on JacPod, Şule and Dorianne Weil look at whether we are born with resilience or if it can be developed; how resilience manifests in our lives and if it's possible to engender resilience in our children.

Meanwhile, the end-of-year holidays are fast-approaching, and while this is a time
of joy and connection for many, it can also be a stressful time for
various reasons, including strained family relationships and financial
pressures. 'DrD' gives
some practical advice for how to approach the holiday season. Listen below.
