Resilience is not about pushing harder, enduring more, or “powering through.”
It’s about having a plan.
In this powerful and deeply practical episode of the Her Resources Podcast, host Linda Misegadis is joined by Marie-Hélène Pelletier, PhD, MBA, RPsych (she/her) — leadership psychologist, executive coach, TEDx speaker, and award-winning author of The Resilience Plan.
Marie-Hélène challenges the idea that resilience is something you either have or don’t have. Instead, she reframes resilience as a strategic, buildable skill — one that protects your mental health, supports performance, and helps leaders thrive in high-demand environments, including the age of AI.
Together, Linda and Marie-Hélène (MH) unpack why burnout is not a personal failure, how values and energy awareness shape sustainable leadership, and why women often confuse resilience with endurance — at a real cost to their well-being.
This conversation is especially relevant for HR professionals, people leaders, and women navigating complex demands at work and at home.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why resilience is not a mindset, but a strategy
How to assess your energy supply vs. demands (and why burnout is “just math”)
Why guilt drains women’s resilience — and how to choose guilt over burnout
How micro-habits create sustainable change when life gets busy
What resilient leadership looks like at the team and organizational level
How HR professionals can protect themselves while supporting everyone else
Marie-Hélène’s book, The Resilience Plan, has been recognized with Gold Awards from the 2025 Axiom & Nautilus Book Awards, and praised by leaders like Dr. Robert Cialdini, Dorie Clark, and Dr. Christine A. Padesky.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, stretched thin, or stuck in survival mode — this episode offers a roadmap forward.
