Whether you're moving into leadership, developing new skills, or reentering the workforce, resilience isn’t just about enduring challenges—it’s about learning to manage fear and overwhelm. Many of us, particularly women, are raised to prioritize others’ needs, which can lead to feeling overstimulated or emotionally drained in high-pressure situations. But resilience is a skill that can be developed, and it starts with recognizing our own power.
Ashley introduced the four common nervous system responses to fear:
Understanding your default response is the first step. Once you recognize how fear shows up for you, you can shift from being stuck in fear to empowered and courageous action. Instead of reacting automatically, you can make intentional choices that align with your goals and values. By building awareness and practicing resilience strategies, you can move forward with confidence in your career and beyond.
