In today’s episode, Justin sits down with Dr. Brett Blair—keynote speaker, coach, and a powerful voice on what it means to live with unshakable resilience. Through deep loss, major life transitions, and moments that could have broken him, Brett chose something different. He chose to rise. He chose positivity. He chose purpose. He chose joy.

After walking through the painful experience of losing his wife to ALS, Brett didn’t turn away from life—he leaned into it. With quiet strength and a deep-rooted faith, he carried his grief and grew from it. His story is a testament to what’s possible when we allow hardship to refine us rather than define us.

Brett shares how resilience isn’t just something you’re born with—it’s something you build. It’s a daily choice to keep going, to stay grounded in gratitude, and to believe that there’s still beauty ahead. The science of resilience supports it. Faith fuels it. And Brett’s life reflects it.

Throughout the conversation, he invites us to reflect on what it means to provide like Jesus, to put our well-being first without guilt, and to remain anchored in God’s presence—even when life feels overwhelming.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets heavy, this episode is a push to remember your strength. Resilience doesn’t remove pain—but it gives you the power to move through it with clarity, courage, and hope.

This episode is your reminder: positivity is a force, resilience is a choice, and joy can still rise from hard places.
