How to Cultivate Resilience with Bianca Juarez Olthoff

Hey hey! We’ve all had times when we wanted to quit, but why do some people lean in and stick with it when others check out? The answer to that question may surprise you! 

My friend Bianca Juarez Olthoff wrote the book on grit and resilience, and we had a fantastic conversation about just that. What she learned while writing this book is both fascinating and encouraging, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!

Bianca is a Bible teacher, host of the “We’re Going There” podcast, and author of three books, including her newest, Grit Don’t Quit: Developing Resilience and Faith When Giving Up Isn’t an Option. She is passionate about helping people live counter-culturally and significantly. 

Bianca and I don’t hold back today! 

Lean in and listen as we discuss: 

• The lost art of perseverance in a world where most things are easy and fast

• Encouragement (and a permission slip!) for when you feel behind

• 3 key elements of resilience (the best news: these are 3 things we can learn and practice)

• 3 people you should meet with before you decide to quit anything

• What kills our grit (and how to protect it)  

• Why our thought lives matter more than we know

• And don't miss Bianca's challenge results in the P. S. at the end of the show notes!

Favorite quotes:

• “The best things in life will cost you the most and take you the longest.”
  
• “Keep going! Just because it is hard doesn’t mean you're not supposed to do it. Good things are hard.”
  
• “There are three key elements to people who are resilient and they are learnable and actionable.” 
  
• “Can you find a purpose for this season and make the most of it? Those are the people that are the grittiest and successful.”
  
• “Our mind matters so let’s make sure we are mindful of what we are thinking.”
• "Bet on yourself and invest in yourself. It is the one investment that is going to pay you back 100 times and you can’t lose."
