Building a Rhythm of Resilience: Learning How to Move Through Your Struggles with Seasoned Counselor, Renowned Speaker, and Well-Known Author, Donna Gibbs, Ep. 157

The Built Different Podcast with Zach Clinton

Resilience is all about movement! In other words, your direction is more important than your speed. Yes, many have identified resilience as ‘bouncing back’ but as our guest today so eloquently describes, resilience is a process and not just something that happens overnight or in the snap of a finger. It may take longer for some than it does for others, but we must remember, that as long as we are moving in the right direction, we are setting ourselves up for the opportunity to not just go through our pain, but actually grow through it. Resilience isn’t just about ‘bouncing back’, it’s about ‘bouncing forward.’ Joining us this week to explore and discuss this process of resilience is author, speaker, and licensed professional counselor, Donna Gibbs. Donna is co-owner of Summit Wellness Centers, PLLC, where she has helped hundreds of people bounce back from life’s challenges through her counseling practice as she is no stranger to adversity having also walked through darkness and loss in her own personal life. She is also the author of numerous books, and her blogs, devotions, and articles have frequently been featured on radio broadcasts and podcasts across America. Today, we will be unpacking Donna’s newest book, BOUNCE: A 60-Day Devotional to Jump-Start Your Resilience! Our prayer is that you would be reminded of the words of Philippians 1:6, “For I am confident that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” My friends, I know you may be walking through a dark and difficult season, but you are not alone, and I believe that God would love to take what you’re going through and produce something wonderful and beautiful in His timing out of it.
