09-03-26 We Can Do Hard Things
Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen Lewis, sit at the end of a dock in beautiful Maine for a powerful conversation about ‘Doing the Hard Things’ and what it really means to face fear instead of running from it.
They explore the power of feeling fear, listening to it, and then choosing to move through it. It’s about triumphing over what holds us back, not only physically, but emotionally. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pause, take a brave breath, and stay in the present moment.
That message is especially important as educators begin a new school year. Every day, despite the challenges they face, they show up for their students. The Choose Love Formula and Choice Moment Model teach us how to respond to difficult moments in a positive, productive way rather than from anxiety or worry. The latest neuroscience supports what we’ve been learning all along: resilience is built by moving through hard things, not avoiding them. Scarlett also reflects on a recent presentation at the National Homeland Security Conference, where the conversation around post-traumatic growth reinforced this powerful truth: we can grow through adversity, become stronger, and discover what we’re capable of on the other side.
