Encouragement: The Unsung Power of Resilience

When was the last time you felt truly encouraged—not just advised, but lifted up?

Encouragement is one of the most underrated forms of care, especially for those of us navigating chronic pain.

In this clip from PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST …Live, I talk about how encouragement flows between us—and how it’s a vital part of building resilience.

Whether you’re giving it, receiving it, or speaking kindly to yourself… encouragement can change your day.

What kind of encouragement do you need right now?

Experience You Can Trust

Hundreds cared for.

Since 2001, I’ve been trained to care for those navigating chronic pain, grief, stress, terminal illness, divorce, job loss, and more.

Thousands equipped.

With 30+ years as a communications expert, coach, and speaker, I’ve helped leaders navigate adversity and drive positive change—no matter how tough things get.

One journey, lived daily.

I’ve live this—decades of pain, 7 surgeries, and a method forged in the fire to help you build lasting resilience and be your best.
