Grin & Bear It: Lessons in Bad Resilience 

Is that the worst "resilience" advice you've ever received? What if resilience comes in many forms? What is authentic for us, both individually and collectively? Let's reframe what we mean when we are resilient. 

Music today is offered by Beacon members Judy Brewer on piano, Ron Califano on guitar and vocals, and Cathy Menendez and Norm Miller on vocals.
