Notes on Resilience
Manya Chylinski
Conversations about trauma, resilience, and compassion.
How do we genuinely support individuals who have experienced trauma and build inclusive and safe environments? Trauma significantly affects the mental and physical health of those who experience it, and personal resiliency is only part of the solution. The rest lies in addressing organizational, systemic, and social determinants of health and wellness, and making the effort to genuinely understand the impact of trauma.
Here, we ask and answer the tough questions about how wellness is framed in an organizational context, what supports are available and why, what the barriers are to supporting trauma survivors, and what best practices contribute to mental wellness. These conversations provide a framework to identify areas for change and actionable steps to reshape organizations to be truly trauma sensitive.

56: Resilient Hearts -- Transforming Shame into Resilience with Wen Peetes
Notes on Resilience
01/24/24 • 35 min
Welcome to episode 3 of the 5-episode series Resilient Hearts: Navigating Emotions After Tragedy, delving into the intricate paths of those who have experienced life-altering challenges. In this episode, we explore shame.
Healing from shame and embracing resilience isn't a journey to rush; it's a path to walk with gentle strides, as guest Wen Peetes, an intuitive healing coach, reveals. Shame has profound teachings to offer us when we are able to shift our perspective from self-critique to self-compassion. Wen helps us learn the art of patience, the power of nurturing our inner child, and how tapping into our intuition and body awareness can be the salve for our deepest wounds.
Wen also sheds light on the significance of acknowledging every emotion that courses through us, as they are the architects of our actions and, ultimately, our lives. We're not just talking about healing from childhood trauma but embracing the versions of ourselves that emerge in the wake of life's most impactful events. Listen in on our conversation as we affirm that each step you take is a celebration of your unyielding spirit and your quest towards wholeness.
Wen Peetes is an intuitive healing coach, mentor and speaker who helps women become powerful decision makers, so they never have to doubt themselves again. As a survivor of childhood abuse, Wen found herself trying to break free from the negative cycle that left her feeling stuck, helpless, and hopeless. Through a series of life-changing events, she found the courage to embrace her darkest secret and the resilience to turn pain into purpose.
The first five listeners to contact Wen about her new book will receive a free copy. Email Wen or Manya or post on Wen's social and mention that you heard about her book on this podcast (we'll use the time stamps to identify the first five listeners to reply).

69: Advocating for Resilience—From Terrorism Trauma to Global Solidarity, with Sarri Singer
Notes on Resilience
04/24/24 • 34 min
What is the role of community and advocacy in the journey toward healing?
In the fourth episode of the series, Advocating for Resilience: Empowering Mental Wellness, we talk with Sarri Singer, a terrorism survivor and founder of Strength to Strength. Her own experience—feeling isolated upon returning from her attack while abroad—was the catalyst for her commitment to change, and her story shines a light for those looking for hope in dark times.
We talked about the unique psychological landscape of terrorism-induced trauma and how organizations like Strength to Strength provide critical peer support, offering a sanctuary for those grappling with the aftermath of such unspeakable events. We also discussed the disparities in victim support among different nations and the uphill battle for policy reform. The heart of our conversation: the power of shared stories and a common narrative of survival and strength.
Sarri Singer is the Founder and Director of Strength to Strength, focusing on bringing together victims of terrorism together from around the world and assisting with long term psychological needs. Sarri has addressed audiences throughout the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, and Israel and continues to share her unique insight into the ongoing struggle for victims of terror in Israel and around the world.
On June 11, 2003, Sarri was on Bus 14 in Jerusalem when an 18-year-old Palestinian terrorist dressed as a religious Jew boarded and blew himself up. 17 people were killed, including all those seated and standing around her, and over 100 people were injured. Sarri was hospitalized for two weeks and then returned to New Jersey to be with family. Her story became high profile. She appeared on television stations such as CBS, FoxNews, CNN and radio interviews and has spoken before members of Congress in Washington, D.C. and politicians in New York and New Jersey.

37: Turning Trauma into Triumph--A Conversation with Sean Hogan
Notes on Resilience
09/13/23 • 31 min
In the face of adversity, we often find strength we never knew we had. Today, we're in for an inspiring conversation with teacher and poet Sean Hogan. A survivor of the 9/11 attack, Sean gives us a unique insight into his journey of recovery and the difficulties we face in the aftermath of trauma.
We delve into how significant it is to share our experiences with a trusted confidant and how the narrative we construct about our traumatic experiences is instrumental in how we deal with them in the future. We also explore the systemic role in supporting individuals post-trauma and the necessity of community care. Our systems are only as good or corrupt as the humans working them, and it’s up to each of us in our own way, to push back against the part of the system we have connection to, using whatever privilege we have. '
Sean is a writer, teacher, creative mentor, and spoken word poet. Join us for this soul-stirring conversation that reminds us of the strength within each one of us.
