Resillyence

Saying no is often presented as a skill.
But what if the hardest no is not to an opportunity or a relationship, but to a story that was handed to us?
In this episode of #Resillyence, we explore the inherited beliefs about work, success, and belonging, and how they continue to shape the choices we make. What does it mean to honour where we come from while choosing a different path? How do we decide which stories to carry forward and which ones to leave behind?
Because resilience requires the space to pause, reflect, and ask: Which values are truly mine? What do I want to keep, and what am I ready to let go of?
Tune in for a reflective conversation about inherited narratives, identity, and the courage to choose your own way forward.

What happens when the identities we were given no longer fit who we are becoming?
In this episode of #Resillyence, we explore identity and the many ways a family can be created, shaped, and redefined beyond traditional frameworks.
Starting our conversation from the identity of a "changemaker", together with Katerina Eriksen, we unpack how the labels we carry shape the way we see ourselves — and how they evolve (or break open) over time. From there, the conversation moves into deeper, often unspoken territories: egg donation, sperm donation, and chosen families, exploring what it means to create life and connection outside of conventional definitions.  Tune in to explore identity, relationships, and what it means to bring life into this world beyond conventional frameworks and a question to sit with:
— What does family mean when it is no longer defined by biology, but by connection, choice, and care? 

What does a safe space truly mean? How do we create environments where people feel seen, valued, and supported?
In this episode, we explore these questions through the learning experience of three changemakers, Katerina Eriksen, Arjunraj N. and Katerina Chantzi who co-created and co-facilitated an in-person workshop exploring different aspects of safety: in the physical body, in physical spaces, in group interactions, in the way we use language, and in the stories we tell.Tune in to gain some insights about their experience, discover why safety is important in the spaces we create and how it manifests in the way we related with each other and with ourselves.

Does money equal happiness? And if so — at what cost?
In today’s fast-paced, transactional economy, money often feels like the ultimate measure of success.
In this episode, we explore how money can shift from a source of stress and scarcity to a tool for connection, reciprocity, care, and through personal stories and practices from the Abundance Fellowship and the Co-here Collective.
Tune in for reflections, lived experiences, and a question to sit with:What does abundance look like in your life — beyond money?
