Episode 28: Unlocking Hidden Strength - Flipping the Iceberg and Resilience

March 06, 2025

In this episode of Resilience Gone Wild, host Jessica Morgenthal dives into the powerful iceberg metaphor to explore the hidden depths of our resilience. Just like an iceberg, much of our strength, emotions, and experiences remain unseen, yet they shape who we are.


Jessica discusses how understanding the hidden aspects of our subconscious mind can help us navigate challenges, uncover inner strength, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness. She also connects this idea to the environmental threats facing glaciers, emphasizing how personal and planetary resilience go hand in hand.

By recognizing what lies beneath the surface—both in ourselves and in the natural world—we can become more adaptable, mentally tough, and prepared to face life's uncertainties. This episode is a must-listen for anyone searching for ways to build resilience, embrace change, and uncover their true potential.
