Dear Insiders,
Last week, I met a woman in her 40s who has been looking for work since her contract ended in April.
On paper, she's simply unemployed.
In reality, she's been navigating far more than that.
She has undergone surgery for fibroids, is still dealing with ongoing pain, and has since discovered gastrointestinal issues that require further attention. Earlier this year, her father spent three months in hospital before he passed away, and she was his primary caregiver while managing her own health at the same time.
Yet every day, she's still searching for her next opportunity.
Her story stayed with me because it reminded me of another friend who spent months chasing unpaid salaries while trying to keep up with mortgage payments.
Different circumstances. The same quiet determination.
Neither of them lacks motivation.
Neither is "not trying hard enough".
They're simply carrying more than most people can see.
It made me wonder how we keep going when life becomes deeply demoralising.
Not because we've given up.
But because every setback seems to demand more emotional, financial and physical energy than we have left to give.
We often celebrate resilience as though it's about enduring everything alone. Pushing through. Holding it all together. Never letting anyone see us struggle.
I'm beginning to wonder if we've misunderstood what resilience looks like.
Perhaps resilience isn't carrying everything yourself.
Perhaps resilience is knowing when to let someone else help carry the load.
That might mean telling your friends you're looking for work instead of hoping someone notices. Asking for an introduction. Reaching out to someone you trust. Looking into support that's available, even if you've never imagined needing it. Allowing people who care about you to do something practical, however small.
None of those things erase the hardship.
But they remind us that we don't have to face it in isolation.
Our recent article explores this question in much greater depth: how to stay motivated when you're already doing everything you can, why difficult seasons can leave us feeling stuck even when we're trying our hardest, and what it really means to keep moving forward without carrying the weight alone.
If this question has been sitting quietly in the back of your mind too, I hope you'll continue reading:
It’s a wrap
