Too many people treat resilience like a switch: either you have it or you don't. But what if the real way to build it is by showing up for hard things again and again, even in your off-hours? In this episode, fitness and wellness coach Nicole Zapoli draws a direct line from the weight room to the workplace, sharing how the discomfort you push through in a tough workout is the same mental muscle you call on when work gets hard. Nicole is a professional fitness coach, owner of NZ Fitness, and author of Live FIT From the Inside Out, with 25+ years of experience training athletes, busy parents, and working professionals around the world.
