The Resilience Equation: Building a Custom Life with Micro‑Joys
About this episode
In this Most Played cut from Episode 64, Mickelle sits down with TEDx speaker and Resilience Mentor, Nina Aziz Justin, to unpack the Resilience Equation: time × beginner’s mindset, raised to the power of incremental action. Through her journey as a founder and mother to a child with a rare neurological condition, Nina shows how to build “inner scaffolding” and a custom life that can flex with change.
They challenge hustle-as-suffering culture, re-centering micro-joys, adaptability, and mindset as the real engines of sustainable success, whether you’re parenting, launching a startup, or starting over in a new country.
In this episode:
