The Resilience Movement
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.

The Resilience Movement
Resilience is not about coping. It’s about capacity.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, Donna Moulds is joined by Dr. Carroll Greene, retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, triple board-certified psychologist, and one of the original architects of operational psychology within U.S. Special Operations.
Over a career spanning more than four decades, Carroll worked with individuals and leaders operating in environments where psychological readiness, identity stability, and emotional regulation directly affected outcomes. As Director of Psychological Applications at the U.S. Marine Special Operations Command Training Center, he led psychological assessment, selection, and training for Marine Raiders, with individual training investments reaching up to $800,000.
This conversation moves beyond motivation and performance rhetoric.
Together, Donna and Carroll explore what sustains effectiveness over time, particularly when roles carry responsibility, pressure, and consequence. They examine the psychological traits that predict long-term performance, the risks of identity fusion in high-achievement environments, and the difference between resilience and endurance.
Topics include:
- Defining resilience when performance failure is not an option
- Psychological qualities that support sustained effectiveness
- Identity loss during role transition and how it can be mitigated
- Emotional regulation in high-demand environments
- Leadership responsibility for culture and burnout
- What professionals under chronic pressure need to restore clarity and capacity
This episode is relevant for leaders and professionals navigating responsibility, transition, or prolonged pressure, and questioning how to perform well without sacrificing psychological stability or identity.
During the conversation, Carroll referenced Resilience at Work by Salvatore Maddi and Deborah Khoshaba, and The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz.
The Resilience Movement explores resilience not as motivation or mindset, but as capacity the psychological, emotional, and identity foundations that allow people to perform, adapt, and sustain effectiveness through pressure, change, and adversity.
Hosted by Donna Moulds, the podcast features in-depth conversations with leaders, psychologists, educators, and professionals whose work sits at the intersection of resilience, leadership, identity, and human performance.
Drawing on Donna’s background in leadership, workforce development, and lived experience of navigating major life transitions, the show examines:
- Psychological readiness and emotional regulation
- Identity, responsibility, and role transition
- Leadership behaviour and cultural impact
- Sustained performance without burnout
- What it actually takes to adapt and rebuild when life changes
This is a considered, evidence-informed podcast for people who want to think clearly, lead responsibly, and navigate challenge without losing themselves in the process.
The conversations also explore how people can develop the psychological skills required to adapt, recalibrate, and grow through change, rather than being defined or diminished by it.
