Welcome to The Resilience Files, our brand new podcast! During this series, Terry Rubenstein, author and inspirational thought leader, will be investigating stories of struggle and triumph in the quest to explore the true nature of wellbeing and a resilience that lasts.
In this first episode, Terry shares her deeply moving personal story of battling with chronic depression and anxiety, acute anorexia, and extreme self harm that began in her early teenage years. At the age of 29, already a wife and mother of five young boys, she attempted to take her own life. Following her release from hospital, Terry unexpectedly discovered the ‘invincible summer’ and innate resilience that resides within her. Even more unexpected was the extraordinary discovery that this invincible summer exists within all human beings.
Inspired by this life-changing knowledge, Terry went on to found iheart - a global non-profit dedicated to sharing the message that we have everything we need inside - not just to survive life, but to thrive in life. “Our mission,” explains Terry, “is to educate all people that they do not have a resilience deficit. Rather, we empower them with the confidence that they can uncover their built-in mental health, wellbeing and resilience so that they can overcome their challenges and realise their extraordinary potential.”
