Welcome back to another episode of The Re-Mind Podcast with Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton. This week, we’re diving into Part 2 of our resilience series—and it’s not what you might expect!

Last episode, we unraveled the toxic side of “pushing through” and how the old definition of resilience can lead to burnout, override, and self-abandonment. If you missed that conversation, we highly recommend going back to listen first for context.

In this episode, we redefine what real, nervous-system-aligned resilience looks like.
We discuss:

• Why “inner resourcefulness” is a truer definition of resilience than endless grit

• How to stay present with challenge—without abandoning yourself

• The difference between honoring your nervous system and just overriding it to “get by”

• Practical examples: parenting, leadership, faith, and daily life

• The deep link between self-awareness, capacity, boundaries, and healing

• Spiritual vs. human-level resilience (and why both matter)

This conversation invites you to notice where you might be mistaking override for resilience in your own life. What would it look like to move through challenge with more trust, self-awareness, and authentic capacity?

Reflection prompts:

• Where have you confused override with resilience?

• What old fears or conditioning drive you to push past your own limits?

• If you weren’t afraid, what would healthy resilience look like for you right now?

Welcome to The Re-Mind Podcast with Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton. This week, we’re re-examining a word that gets thrown around everywhere: resilience.

Is resilience always a virtue, or have we misunderstood what it means to “push through”?
Ashleigh and David unpack:

• Why the old definition of resilience (“just push through!”) might actually harm us

• The link between chronic override, burnout, and early mortality

• How resilience is less about “toughening up” and more about adaptability, flexibility, and nervous system health

• The hidden costs of self-abandonment and people-pleasing

• How to check in with your real capacity before you override yourself

• Why it’s okay (and wise) to change your mind and honour your evolving needs

Together, they explore how to shift from dysfunctional “push through” to a more authentic, self-honouring approach to challenges. If you’ve ever felt praised for overriding your needs—or struggled to tell the difference between true resilience and self-neglect—this episode invites you into honest reflection and gentle self-compassion.

• True resilience is about flexibility, not rigidity

• Chronic self-override leads to burnout, illness, and emotional numbness

• Capacity is about more than time—it’s energy, nervous system, and context

• You’re allowed to change your mind as your needs evolve

• The healthiest resilience adapts and honours both inner and outer reality
