Resilience is the ability to bounce back after adversity and create a life you love. It’s not about avoiding struggles but learning how to rise stronger each time life knocks you down.

After facing my own personal challenges, I’ve worked hard to uncover the keys to bouncing back. Through this journey, I’ve strengthened my own well-being, self-love, joy, and connection. In this podcast, I’ll share the “how-to” of resilience offering tools, techniques, and real-life examples of people who have overcome:

  • Trauma
  • Divorce
  • Job loss
  • Family breakdowns
  • Personal struggles

Resilience Is a Muscle 💪

Just like any muscle, resilience needs consistent work to stay strong. It’s not about a one-time effort it’s about showing up for yourself every day.

I’ll explore:

  • Practical steps to build your inner strength.
  • Stories of resilience from others who’ve turned their pain into power.
  • How you can tap into your internal power to overcome any adversity.

Your Takeaway

Resilience isn’t something you’re born with it’s something you build. When you work on your resilience muscle, you can face life’s challenges with greater confidence, knowing that you have the tools to bounce back and thrive.

Tune in to hear stories, strategies, and inspiration for building your resilience muscle and creating a life you love.

💬 Let’s explore it together!

  • Starting Over in Midlife? You’re Not Starting Over You Are Starting from Experience

    Starting Over in Midlife? You’re Not Starting Over You Are Starting from Experience
    Sep 28 2026

    What if starting over in midlife isn’t really starting over at all?

    Career change. Redundancy. Relationship changes. Children growing up. A shift in health, identity or circumstances. Sometimes life changes so significantly that we find ourselves asking questions we thought we had already answered:

    Who am I now? What do I want? And where do I go from here?

    In this episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, Donna Moulds explores what it really means to rebuild in midlife and why your next chapter doesn't begin at zero.

    You bring decades of experience with you.

    The decisions you've made. The mistakes you've learned from. The challenges you've survived. The judgement you've developed. The leadership, courage and capability you've built along the way.

    Donna shares personal reflections from her own experience of navigating major professional and personal change, including what happens when the identity you've carried for years is disrupted and you have to separate who you are from what you do.

    This episode explores:

    • Why losing confidence doesn't mean you've lost capability
    • The difference between starting over and starting from experience
    • What happens when our identity becomes too closely connected to a career or role
    • Why resilience isn't simply about enduring more
    • How experience becomes an asset during reinvention
    • The role of agency when circumstances are outside our control
    • Why your next chapter doesn't need to be built the same way as your last one
    • The questions worth asking when you're standing between what was and what comes next

    If you're navigating a transition, questioning what comes next, or rebuilding your identity after a significant change, this conversation is an invitation to stop looking at yourself as someone beginning again.

    You are not starting over. You are starting from experience.

  • Your Past Does Not Get the Final Say - with Danyal Diallo

    Your Past Does Not Get the Final Say - with Danyal Diallo
    Sep 18 2026

    What happens when other people’s expectations, stereotypes and limitations begin shaping the way you see yourself?

    In this episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, Donna Moulds speaks with Danyal Diallo — comedian, TEDx speaker and author of Rising from the Rooftop about identity, cultural expectations, failure, ambition and the courage to decide who you want to become.

    Danyal grew up in Sudan and Egypt before moving to Australia at eight years old. In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, he shares how stereotypes and the opinions of others influenced his early understanding of himself, and what it took to separate other people’s fears and expectations from his own direction.

    Donna and Danyal explore:

    • How stereotypes can become stories we unconsciously carry
    • The difference between useful advice and someone else’s limitations
    • Why failure does not have to be final
    • The role of journaling, reflection and becoming unapologetically yourself
    • Imposter syndrome even when the evidence of your achievement is in your hands
    • The importance of mentors and surrounding yourself with people who can see beyond your current circumstances
    • What Danyal has learned from speaking with young people in schools, juvenile detention and correctional environments
    • How we move from “this happened to me” to “I still get to decide what happens next”

    At just 24, Danyal is the youngest guest to join The Resilience Movement Podcast bringing an important generational and cultural perspective to the conversation about resilience.

    This episode is a reminder that our past may explain parts of our story, and other people’s expectations may influence us, but neither gets the final say on who we become.

  • Sexy Menopause — With Lisa Fitzpatrick

    Sexy Menopause — With Lisa Fitzpatrick
    Aug 26 2026
    What happens when menopause, heartbreak and a crisis of identity collide and the life you thought you were living suddenly disappears? In this episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, Donna Moulds sits down with physiotherapist, pelvic and sexual health educator and author Lisa Fitzpatrick for a candid conversation about menopause, desire, relationships, ageing and rebuilding your sense of self. Lisa shares the deeply personal experience of her fiancé ending their nine-year relationship by text while she was already navigating the physical and emotional changes of menopause. It left her questioning far more than the relationship. Who was she now? Was she still desirable? What did ageing mean? And how do you rebuild when the version of your future you believed in suddenly no longer exists? Lisa takes us into the messy middle of that experience from feeling invisible and undesirable to travelling alone through Laos for five weeks and beginning to rediscover her own worth, independence and appetite for life. Drawing on more than three decades of professional experience in pelvic and sexual health, Lisa also challenges some of the narratives women have been taught about menopause, ageing and sexuality. Together, Donna and Lisa explore why menopause can be more than a collection of symptoms to manage. It can also become a threshold into greater authenticity, confidence, pleasure and personal power. In this conversation, you'll hear about: Rebuilding identity after heartbreak and major life transition Menopause, ageing and the fear of becoming invisible Why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to navigating menopause Sexual health, intimacy and changing desire in midlife The conversations couples need to have as their bodies and relationships change Radical self-care and learning to listen to your body Why desire doesn't have an expiry date How an ending can become the beginning of an entirely different chapter Lisa is the author of Sexy Menopause: The New Science and Soul of Midlife Desire, launching 27 October 2026. Her message is powerful: Menopause doesn't have to mark the beginning of your decline. It can become an invitation to meet the most authentic version of yourself yet. Whether you're navigating menopause yourself, supporting someone who is, rebuilding after a relationship ends, or simply standing at the edge of a new chapter in your life, this conversation is about what becomes possible when you stop treating change as the end of your story.
