We all face moments that knock us down—loss, failure, heartbreak. But what if those tough times were actually the key to unlocking your greatest potential?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, emotional health expert and author of That Sucked. Now What?, to explore how you can turn adversity into your greatest advantage.

Dr. Neeta shares her Bounce Factor framework—a fresh take on resilience that goes beyond just “pushing through” tough times. We talk about:

✅ Why traditional "mental toughness" can be limiting—and what works better
✅ The Bounce Factor: The 4 Key Elements of Emotional Resilience
✅ How to process grief and joy at the same time (and why that’s crucial)
✅ The role of "good stress" in personal growth
✅ How to cultivate Radical Self-Awareness (RSA) to align with your true self

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by past experiences, this episode will show you how to reclaim your power and thrive—no matter what life throws your way.
