The 2024 United States’ election results left a lot of people grappling with a big question: “How do I find the resilience to face my fears and continue fighting for a better world?” Fortunately, my work as an applied neuroscience practitioner, coach, and trainer offers research-based guidance on the subject.

If you are simultaneously struggling to bear the weight of your fear and unwilling to give up on something as vital as preserving human rights - here are some concrete steps, tools, and resources you can use to build the resilience needed to stay in this fight. 

Happy Thanksgiving! This is always a fun holiday to celebrate, as well as a wonderful culturally built-in moment of reflection: what do we each have to be thankful in our lives?  This is such an important practice, and one I encourage you to build into your lives as often as possible, for a single, important reason - YOU WILL BE HAPPIER.  In fact, gratitude is one of the most consistent indicators of happiness, regardless of personal health, and across socioeconomic lines.
