Life's challenges test our resilience. By defining adversity, we strip its mystery and better understand how to rise up from difficulties. This week, we discuss embracing authenticity in hardship, even when it means setting boundaries with certain friends. Alyssa shares her personal journey of reconnecting to her faith for empowerment to stand firm in her values while attracting supporters not judges. Though isolation threatens during trials, we all have potential to build relationships that uplift. Join me as we talk about answering adversity with courage, empathy and hope.
