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.

22: Setting boundaries with Rayna
Notes on Resilience
05/31/23 • 38 min
Listen in on this conversation with Rayna, speaker and training and leadership consultant. We discussed how it is ok not to be ok, why we need to remind ourselves of that fact so often, and the role of setting boundaries in being a resilient person.
You can make a change now or later. You have the ability to make life better for yourself and the people around you and the little things matter.
Rayna has built the life of a true digital nomad and she is working on her PhD in building a multi-generational workforce. As part of her work, she is building an army of overly confident and kind people. Her motto is to "do better, be better," meaning to do better by the people around you, be more helpful, kind, etc.
She is proud of her dark sense of humor which doesn't go with her bubbly personality. And she is a great example of how a person can be many things and we do not need to fit into anyone else's idea of who or how we should be. Everyone deserves a place, space, and time to discover who they are.

75: Wellness at Work—Addressing Addiction and Mental Health in the Workplace, with Benjamin Dobbs
Notes on Resilience
06/05/24 • 26 min
Ever wonder how addiction impacts the workplace and what companies are doing to address it?
In the fourth episode of our series on wellness at work, Benjamin Dobbs, the founder of True Addiction and Behavioral Health, discusses how addiction often goes unnoticed until significant behavioral changes occur, and the proactive measures companies are taking, such as increased mental health days, wellness check-ins, and educational programs.
We talk about the significance of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in providing essential support, and the necessity of combating stigma and being proactive in offering assistance to employees struggling with addiction. We discuss the essential role of mental health care, effective coping mechanisms, and community connection in mitigating workplace stress that can lead to addiction. And we also examine the prevalence of socially accepted addictions like alcoholism and the importance of maintaining a balanced work-life dynamic to build resilience and well-being.
Benjamin Dobbs moved from hopeless and homeless to restored and transformed. He is the founder of True Addiction and Behavioral Health to help the next struggling person with addiction and mental health struggles he once lived with and overcame. He had a passion and mission to go and serve the same people who lived the lifestyle he once lived in hopes of knowing lives could be saved, families could be restored, and communities could be changed.

10: ACEs and PACEs with Sarah Marikos
Notes on Resilience
03/15/23 • 40 min
Listen in on my conversation with Sarah Marikos, executive director of ACE Resource Network. Among the topics we discussed: ACEs, PACEs, how our systems can best support people whether they have been traumatized or not, and why we need storytellers.
The mission of the ACE Resource Network is to build awareness of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and to help people and communities prevent and address the effects of ACEs and childhood toxic stress.
This was a wonderful conversation and I learned a lot about the value of connection and healthy relationships, how trauma gets under our skin, and the science behind the study of adverse childhood experiences. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
