We talk a lot about resilience, but sometimes resilience gets rewarded with more adversity. You cope, you carry on, you prove you can handle it, and somehow the answer becomes, “Great, give her more.” In this episode of Leadruption, Emma Last introduces Lovsilience, a different way of thinking about what it means to keep going when life has given you plenty of reasons not to.

In this episode, we explore:

• What Lovsilience means: Love + Resilience, and the courage to keep your heart open, your hope alive, and your dreams moving.
• Why resilience is not simply about how much adversity you can endure.
• The idea that growth after difficult experiences is not automatic, and why meaning, support, relationships, hope, and something bigger can all matter.
• The story of seeing Janice Robinson, and what her journey sparked around hope, dreams, setbacks, and continuing to move towards what matters.
• Why leaders need to think carefully about whether somebody’s resilience is being admired, or quietly used as an excuse to keep asking them to carry more.

Lovsilience isn’t about how much you can endure. It’s about what you refuse to lose along the way.

Perhaps that leaves us with a couple of questions:

Where have you become so good at being resilient that people have stopped asking what it is costing you?

And what do you want to protect, keep alive, or keep believing in, even when things don’t go the way you hoped?
