<p>In the West, resilience often means “bouncing back” - by yourself. An entire industry has been built around this. In Africa, it means “standing together.”</p><p><br></p><p>This episode brings together two inspiring women, each offering a unique perspective on how we build both individual and collective resilience - and what it means to move from self-care to shared care.</p><p><br></p><p><b>In this conversation:</b></p><ul><li><p>How African communities embody resilience as a shared, collective process - where challenges are faced and overcome together.</p></li><li><p>What we can learn from cultures where there is no single word for “resilience,” yet where it is deeply lived through connection, care, and community.</p></li><li><p>How this contrasts with Western approaches that often frame resilience as individual wellbeing or the ability to “bounce back.”</p></li><li><p>The role of inner development in bridging these perspectives and fostering deeper forms of collective strength.</p></li><li><p>Why rethinking resilience may hold the key to more sustainable and compassionate responses to global challenges.</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>With:</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/71626391/admin/page-posts/published/#"><b>Ruth Dawn Achillah</b></a> is the Global Lead for Learning and Development at One Acre Fund, an organization supporting millions of smallholder farmers across Africa with the tools, knowledge, and innovations they need to thrive.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/71626391/admin/page-posts/published/#"><b>Katie Hodgetts FRSA</b></a> is a British changemaker and author who founded The Resilience Project to provide psychological and inner-led support for young people experiencing burnout and climate anxiety.

<p>How should we measure progress - by what we produce and consume, or by how people and nature are doing? <b>Dr. Julia Kim</b>, a physician and systems thinker, discusses Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness (GNH) as an alternative to GDP, and shows how inner development - including her contemplative and spiritual practice - provides the human foundations for translating that vision into policy, institutions, and everyday life.</p><p><br><b>Julia Kim</b> began her career in clinical medicine before moving into health policy and international development with the UN and other agencies.
