Welcome to the inaugural episode, An Introduction to the 7 Pillars Podcast, author Kevin Pannell introduces the foundational framework from his book, "The Stability Equation: 7 Pillars for a More Balanced Life." Kevin shares his personal journey of realizing that dedicated effort in one area doesn't guarantee overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of a holistic system for building resilience. This episode lays the groundwork by defining each of the 7 Pillars – Ownership, Mindfulness, Movement, Boundaries, Connection, Sleep, and Faith – and explains why intentionally nurturing these areas is crucial for a sustainable and satisfying life.
