Resilience: This is a challenging time for everyone, and in this first episode we explore how to cope during hard times and bounce back from them. Our Co-host, Nina Kjellson brings us behind the curtain on the wise, inspirational and sometimes hilarious experiences of women in our community who have persevered and overcome hurdles. Whether it’s unexpected change in their personal lives, profound moments of self-doubt, or macro-economic downturns, we are let in on the personal accounts of resilience by these motivating women. We sit down with Gail Maderis, Dr. Odette Harris, Glo Harris, Julia Collins, and Julie Wainwright to hear how they prevailed against adversity, were fueled by their setbacks and answer the question: why are women harsher critics of ourselves than our male counterparts?

Gloria Harris - a.k.a. Glo - is an executive and leadership coach who has worked with many Fortune 100 companies, and in her work, she trades in concepts such as self-confidence, self-awareness, mission and vision, truth-speaking, team alignment, legacy and succession.
