We’ve all been told that resilience is the key to getting through hard things. Keep going. Don’t break. Handle it all. But what if that’s only part of the story?

In this episode, I sit down with organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich, who shares why resilience, while helpful, isn’t the full solution. Through years of research and real-world coaching, she found that resilience keeps us from falling apart, but it doesn’t necessarily help us build a life that feels fulfilling.

We talk about the pressure so many of us feel to hold everything together, and the simple, science-backed shifts that can help us move beyond just coping. Tasha shares a different approach, one rooted in understanding our core needs and making small, intentional shifts that can change how we experience our daily lives.

What You’ll Discover:

1. Coaching leaders and building strong cultures (03:53)
2. Why resilience doesn’t predict growth (13:53)
3. The three core human needs we all share (21:27)
4. Micro “need crafting” in everyday life (24:45)
5. Letting go of perfection with the 10% buffer (27:56)

This conversation is a reminder that thriving isn’t about doing more. It’s about understanding what you actually need, and giving yourself permission to meet those needs.
