Setbacks happen.  They can be small, disastrous, even tragic.  How we deal with them can be the difference between falling victim to our circumstances or developing resiliency. Our conversation today addresses how vulnerability, feeling our feelings, and growing into acceptance of our new circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, can transform us and build resilience.
