Who Are We Growing Into? | Why Resilience Matters

At Skills and Pills, we define resilience as the ability to bounce back and grow in the face of adversity. But an important question we all have to ask is this: what are we actually growing into? Growth is not just about getting through hard moments. It is about who we are becoming because of them. This means shifting our mindset from asking why me to embracing why not me. It means choosing to believe I am going to be healed, I am going to be free, and I am going to be well. In this episode, we continue the conversation on resilience by focusing on the direction of our growth and the identity we are forming along the way. As we navigate challenges, we are learning to trust God more deeply and move forward with confidence in our healing journey. Our hope is that this conversation gives you practical insight and encouragement as you grow into the person you are called to be! Connect with us: https://linktr.ee/skillsandpillspodcast

Release, Rest, Remain with Yvette Henry

On this episode, we are joined by Yvette Henry–a wife, mom of four, podcaster, and the author of Release, Rest, & Remain, a 30-day journey designed for busy women to release burdens to God, rest in His presence, and remain steadfast in His love. From overflowing inboxes and the constant pull of other people’s needs to endless to-do lists, finding even a moment of peace or joy can feel impossible. If you’ve been looking for reprieve from the nonstop activity and noise of life, this conversation is an invitation to pause in the presence of the God who holds all things together. He isn’t asking for more from you—He’s inviting you to lay it all down. In this episode, Yvette shares her personal story of grief, the experiences that led her to write her book, and how therapy, parenting, and life’s challenges shaped her journey. Together, we explore what it means to remain in the presence of the Lord—to slow down, be present, and learn how to simply be. We also discuss how striving can quietly become an idol, especially in a culture that celebrates constant efficiency and pushes us to move from one thing to the next without ever slowing down. This conversation offers practical encouragement for gaining clarity, moving forward with peace, and learning how to abide with God so you can live and lead from a place of true rest!  Connect with Yvette Book: https://yvettehenry.com/releaserestremaindevotional [https://yvettehenry.com/releaserestremaindevotional] Website: https://yvettehenry.com/ [https://yvettehenry.com/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrsmelanin/ [https://www.instagram.com/mrsmelanin/] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yvetteunplugged [https://www.youtube.com/@yvetteunplugged] Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsmelanin [https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsmelanin] Connect with Us https://linktr.ee/skillsandpillspodcast
