Resilience Isn’t Just Mental

In this episode of the Essential Skills for Humaning podcast, Christina Eanes and Lori Muhlstein explore the connection between physical resilience and mental resilience, and how the state of our bodies influences how we think, lead, and communicate. Drawing on research on exercise, mood, and executive function, they discuss how rebuilding physical strength can reshape perspective, improve emotional regulation, and support a growth mindset. The conversation highlights how incremental physical progress reinforces “not yet” thinking and why our physical state often shapes how we interpret challenges, respond to stress, and show up in conversations. Because resilience isn’t just mental, it’s physical, too.
