ILTA Women Who Lead: Women Who Read Book Club - The Resilience Resolution: A Life Guide for Building Mental Strength on Purpose by Dawn Hudgins
Join us for a thoughtful and engaging book club discussion of The Resilience Resolution: A Life Guide for Building Mental Strength on Purpose by Dawn Hudgins. This reflective and practical book invites us to rethink what resilience really looks like—not as perfection or constant toughness, but as something built intentionally through small, repeatable practices over time.
Through personal storytelling, humor, and accessible neuroscience, the author shares how resilience is shaped quietly and steadily, even during seasons of chaos and uncertainty. We’ll explore how strengthening our inner world can help us better navigate the unpredictable challenges of our outer one—both personally and professionally.
We're especially excited to share that the author, Dawn Hudgins, will be joining us for this discussion, offering her perspective and engaging directly in the conversation.
During this session, we’ll:
• Explore the core themes and key takeaways from The Resilience Resolution
• Discuss the book’s four resilience pathways—See, Hear, Feel, Think, and Gratitude
• Reflect on how intentional practices can support mental strength and well-being
• Share insights and practical ways to apply resilience in our everyday lives
• Connect with peers in a supportive space for conversation and growth
