The Power of Resilience: Overcoming Adversity with Dr. Sharon Bannister

What if the key to navigating life's unanticipated storms lies
not just in physical strength, but in the resilience of the
mind?  Dr. Sharon Bannister is a retired Air Force Major
General who's spent her career harnessing the power of
resilience. Drawing parallels between military and civilian life,
our conversation delves into the necessity of adaptability,
mental strength, and the art of preparing for the worst-case
scenario.

Dr. Bannister encourages us to step out of our comfort zones,
embrace new experiences, and always be ready to lend a helping
hand. She reminds us that every action, no matter how small, is
vital in cultivating a sense of community and resilience. This
conversation is not just about survival, but about how we can
better build community, navigate big life transitions, and thrive
in the face of adversity.

Key Moments“So what are those things that you're
doing for yourself that make you more resilient when bad things
happen?”



“To me, one of the interesting aspects about the military is this
idea of adaptability. We can sort of control how we think and how
we prepare, but we need to be adaptable to circumstances. In that
line of work you never know what's going to happen, right?”



“I think that it would be easy to sit in your house and worry,
and worry, and worry. I think that it's a lot more productive to
get out and go do something a little bit different to keep you
moving.”
