Manage episode 511909850 series 2661140
Resilience isn’t about never falling. It’s about learning, adapting, and choosing hope, every time. In this episode, host Peter Fenger speaks with Andy Pierce, Resilience Expert and founder of iBounceUp, a Honolulu-based nonprofit transforming lives in at-risk communities. Andy brings a Master's degree in Performance Psychology and extensive experience working with elite Special Operations Soldiers, Army Rangers, adults in addiction recovery, and resource caregivers. But his work with iBounceUp is deeply personal, born from his brother-in-law Matt's struggle with addiction and untimely death, the organization now serves as both a legacy and a lifeline. In this conversation, Andy reveals the five pillars of mental resilience: self-awareness, self-control, optimism, flexibility, and relationships. He shares powerful stories from Hawaii's rehab centers and sober living facilities, explains why connection matters more than curriculum, and opens up about his own near-fatal surfing accident that tested everything he teaches. Discover why being selective about who we share good news with matters, how our beliefs drive our thoughts, and why flexibility might be the most underrated resilience skill of all. This is a conversation about building strength in broken places, and why showing up consistently changes lives.
