The Resilience Toolkit: Practices That Help You Bounce Back?

Описание: What does it really mean to become unshakable when your career, your family life, and the world around you all feel uncertain at the same time?

In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sat down with Christine Ann Miller for a conversation that stayed with me long after we stopped recording. From the very first question, Christine grounds resilience in something more profound than grit or endurance. She shares how becoming unshakable is tied to purpose, faith, and the courage to stay anchored to who you are, even when the path forward is unclear.

Christine takes us through her journey as a Jamaican American leader, the first in her family born in the United States, and how growing up around healthcare shaped her desire to solve meaningful problems.

From discovering chemical engineering through an encyclopedia to interning at Merck and dedicating more than three decades to developing medicines that save and improve lives, her story is rooted in service, curiosity, and conviction. She reflects on why purpose matters more than titles and why alignment, not momentum, is what sustains a long career.

The heart of this episode centers on a defining crossroads. Christine shares what it was like to leave a senior role with no next job lined up, only to have the world shut down weeks later during the pandemic. We talk openly about fear, faith, rest, and the discipline of self-leadership when everything familiar disappears. She explains how grounding practices like prayer, meditation, journaling, community, and intentional rest helped her stay receptive to what came next, rather than rushing to force an answer.

As you listen, consider where you might be rushing past the very pause that could help you hear what is next for you. When things feel shaky in your own life or leadership, what enables you to stay grounded long enough to recognize the opportunity that may already be on its way?
