Hey guys, Lisa here! If you didn’t already know, I am super frikin excited to share that I’m writing a book! To be the FIRST to get sneak peeks about my book and other exclusive content go to: www.radicalcon... and be sure to sign up for my newsletter.
Check out Evy’s Book: Becoming Bulletproof here: amzn.to/3vOnPAQ
Resilience is one of the most important things you can do for your mental health and well-being. Being resilient is how single mothers go on to raise incredible children. Being resilient is how generations that lived through war survive to tell the story and continue their traditions. The problem is that you may not feel resilient, and you may not have taken inventory lately to uncover how much adversity you’ve overcome. Adversity is the catalyst for change and the training agent we all need to bounce back from struggles with a stronger mind.
In part 4 of this series, Evy and Lisa are breaking down all the ways adversity and resilience make you the powerful badass woman that you are. This is how you can break the patterns that have been holding you back, become more resilient and reclaim power over your life. It’s time to answer the call and become more responsible to yourself.
Tips To Become Mentally Resilient
1. Be the Leader in Your Own Life
2. Taking Ownership Makes You More Powerful
3. Don’t Weaponize the Other Person’s Insecurities
Evy’s Nightly Journal Challenge:
1. Write 3 things you are grateful for
2. Write 3 things you want to do tomorrow
3. Write 3 things you could have done better today
Resilient Terms:
● Adversity: Difficult or misfortune
● Progressive Overload: Gradual increase weight, frequency, or reps to get stronger
● Hypertrophy: Increase and growth of muscle cells achieved through lifting weights
● Acceptance: Taking stance of non-judgemental awareness
● Ego: A person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance
● Disruptor: A person or thing that interrupts an event, activity or process

QUOTES:
“When you face adversity over a consistent period of time you know how to manage it, how to withstand it, it makes you stronger, it makes you more resilient” Evy Poumpouras [1:20]
“I take ownership of how I act and how I show up in the world.” Lisa Bilyeu [20:40]
“You are the recipient of whatever life is doing to you. You are affected, you are not affecting the world. The world is only affecting you.” Evy Poumpouras [22:07]
“If it was my fault then it means that I have the power to do something about it. If it’s someone else’s fault, then I’m waiting for someone else to fix me.” Lisa Bilyeu [29:19]
“It’s not okay to be vicious and mean to people, and it takes a lot of work to control that. It’s easy to lash out and rip somebody and shred them. It is not easy to control it.” Evy Poumpouras [52:27]
“If you engage with every fool you deal with you become as predictable as that fool. Stop responding to everything.” Evy Poumpouras [56:04]

I don't know if I am the only one but the biggest thing I notice when they speak with each other is that they never interrupt each other. I find it so amazing that they just give each other room to speak while really listening. I feel like I can't finish a sentence without being interrupted or being talked over. I love their dynamic.

Yes, both empowered Greeks Absolutely it runs in their race. Though many Greeks these days are a disgrace and have watered themselves down XXX BRING IT BACK YOU POWERFUL RACE let these 2 DIAMONDS bring us all back. And since Greeks led the way and the world in Psychology Philosophy,, the Medical field, Mathematics ETC and have taught us all how to walk on our 2 legs.( if it wasn't for the Greeks we would be walking on our 4's( that's our hands and feet for the ones that cant picture this image quick enough.) Bow to the living God first, and then to the Greeks. The Greeks evolved our thinking, our lives, and our past generations and those to come, and were certainly foundational to greatness. God Bless you all.

Growing up in a unhealthy environment, submissive, blamed, punishment, etc…then stepping into the same relationship type and job type….I had no idea that women could be strong and set boundaries. No idea that cruelty was not a normal life. Finding out that others live in civility and with respect was astonishing. Please continue your work and being explicit in dissecting situations and options for change. Thank you

[@magrittemagritte9523]

I understand you. I also grew up in a submissive environment. Never had role models. I am also in a submissive work environment, a shitty job with lots of blackmailing and also studying with shitty teachers and colleagues. Had tons of toxic relationships. But i just can´t be evil, it´s not in my nature. I can´t play their games. It takes alot from me to be evil. This just gets me very fustrated and disappointed with mankind. This planet is really tough.

Never trust the person who is not able to cry or says that never cries.

Crying is taking off the stress. I do not think it is a sign of strength or weakness.

[@adasatmc2007]

I saw Iron Mike crying

[@GailGreen-tq8jd]

You are so right. It's like Evy is trying so hard not to show emotion in life and she thinks that's a good strong way to be but crying is good and healthy too for people. i actually think it shows power and strength esp in males that cry. It shows they aren't scared or ashamed to do it.

[@aaariana007]

I AM UNSTOPPABLE Takeaways: - Adversity doesn’t need to be a bad thing. - Take Responsibility to make yourself feel good. - Accept the situation, feel it, but not let it linger by staying in a Problem Mindset, rather develop a Solution mindset and take action. - Write down 3 things you’re grateful for, 3 things you need to get done, 3 things you could do better next time.

I bought Evys book a few years ago, and let me tell ya, I became a stronger version of myself. I moved to the US from Brazil about 10 years ago. My life was so different, I had a lot of friends, life was easier. I was depressed, feeling lonely. Fast forward, I feel that I’m much stronger, I don’t need other people to make me happy, I’m responsible for my own happiness. I AM UNSTOPPABLE!

Omg i love Evy! Having survived a horrific rape ordeal at the hands of my martial arts instructor the very person meant to teach how to protect against such monsters, it took fifteen years until I’d be ready to report this to police. Since I have though and since he was arrested and investigated, steps have now been taken to protect other victims because of my coming forward and police said I should feel very proud for being brave enough to speak up. I always thought I wouldn’t be believed and would be seen as a trouble maker but that just simply was not true. What I had to say was relevant and it did still matter even 15 years later. If anyone is struggling with the trauma of such a situation know that it’s perfectly safe for you to come forward whenever you feel ready and you will be believed - never give up!

I became homeless this year and I found your video in my feed I think it might be a friend of mine that passed away giving me a sign. A week ago my car stalled and I had to run 2 miles to use a phone because my cell phone died and the home owner called for help and an officer came out to help and he asked if I had anyone and I said no the only person I had that was there for me before was no longer here and he said but you still have them you can't hear them giving advice like before but they're there and to talk to him so I have been and I broke down crying asking him for help and I see your video. The loved ones we lose aren't really gone they're still with us being a light and still helping guide us giving us little signs. And I'm sorry for your loss, your father sounds like a great man to raise a daughter as strong as you and thanks for the video I definitely needed to see it💜

I AM UNSTOPPABLE 1. When you’re facing struggles you are becoming a better problem solver. 2. Don’t stay in the trauma, push through, move forward, 3. Hang around people who see adversity as a challenge so you too, can handle it better vs. staying stuck. Lastly I would love to hang out with you two and learn as much as possible since I am going through an incredibly hard time and rehab from injury after a trauma where someone pushed me into a mosh pit at a concert and I got trampled. By 2023 I will be speaking to women on stages around the world and teaching them how to be truly happy. For now, I need to learn from the knocks and come up a fre@king world class fighter.

[@innar6757]

Here is a thought: since we tend to write a narrative in our mind when something happens it all depends on the kind of narrative we write. We are the authors. One person writes "why this is happening to me?" and another person "I own my response". They say that all the stress and anger happens between our ears... 😎 Reacting angry, emotionally or feeling hurt is our own decision. Don't give another person that power over yourself, they can't make you feel any way, YOU decide how you want to feel about a situation or a person. Own your decision and be unstoppable!

I have always been fearless, the fixer and now understand that the majority live in denial. Widowed at 29 with two small sons, I never had a choice but to push, come blister or bleed. The word No should be enough. My son just told me that we live in a world where we can no longer speak the truth. I am not a victim, I am stronger and more grateful. I just want peace. We shouldn’t have to fight for something so simple, yet still constantly being pushed at 63. I can only control myself. I see people living just to keep peace. I see that doesn’t work. I always ask myself what role did I play, I have a strong mindset/rules for myself, my trigger is the abuse of others. I just bought your book and I am grateful for women like you. Thank you.

[@rowanstarling3816]

I love the analogy of weightlifting to mental resilience because im doing both. I changed my life by going to therapy, changing eating habits, exercising, weight lifting, and spiritual growth. The biggest thing I've done is study mental resilience. When you are in a state of flux and get hit by suffering which happened to me during my transformation, you can create more suffering by negative rumination run rampant. I'm not over the mountain yet, but near the top. I'm determined to go the distance. The biggest thing was seeing my value and feeling my value. "If the mind and heart are torn, there is no peace." For me, I have to say positive affirmations and mantras daily to rid my mind of those negative thoughts, until I can wake up and be at peace.

[@JDfaith2024]

Agree mental adversity is strength and resilience built over time but don’t neglect the grieving process. And by doing that you will appreciate and understand your strength even more when you get to the other side. It’s very important to allow yourself to feel, cry, mourn and even get pissed off so you can heal. If you’re constantly bucking up/pushing through pain and set backs and not grieving, it is detrimental and will cause major issues. Of course dependent on the circumstance and situation.

I AM UNSTOPPABLE! Wow! As someone who grew up “inner-city adjacent”, meaning not quite inner city but definitely not suburbia… I can attest to both the benefits and disadvantages to this idea. Being somewhat coddled but not sheltered enough to protect me to the harms of society has cultivated a unique perspective where I am able to appreciate Real Life happening, but yet enough per-view to see the light at the end of the tunnel enough to WANT to persevere and push through. The disadvantages and discouragement that exists in poverty ridden environments should not be glamourized, and most would never just choose this existence for themselves or their kids. Likewise the protective/controllable environment of a safer household upbringing can be curated to such an extent that galvanizes Opportunities as means to build and innovate. Thanks for this interview dialogue Lisa! 👏🏾

[@NewNurseOver50]

I AM UNSTOPPABLE! Evy's statement that adversity creates resilience is correct. Every experience is a learning experience. In every situation, the good and the bad; whether it be sunshine or shite... there is always useful knowledge to be gained from it.

[@NT-xv5we]

Not sure if this message will ever reach to you both Evy and Lisa, but I can't stress enough on how real, emotional and personal this conversation was. Lost my father 3 years ago, and have never been able to recover since then. It hurts everyday! 😔 Thank you again for sharing this masterpiece ❤️

[@Lendingyourlight]

I’m right there with you. Losing a parent is devastating. I barely get out of bed since my mom was murdered. Staff at Sturdy Hospital beat her forcing her into a wheelchair when she didn’t want an MRI. She was only 77yrs old. She died from catastrophic injuries and two brain bleeds. The investigation is on going but I understand that sadness. When I lost my dad in 2013 I was in therapy for over a year until someone referred me to a psychic medium Pam Padula out of Warwick Rhode Island. She does zoom and FaceTime sessions as well. I healed in one hour with her, that a year of therapy couldn’t heal. I got to talk with my dad and the messages were so healing. Sadly the way my mom died and it being only 4 months, it’s too soon. I pray you find healing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I AM UNSTOPPABLE; this whole concept of facing adversity to make yourself stronger- I love. Instead of being afraid of the challenge- learn to be MORE confident in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, BECAUSE you’ve had enough difficult experiences to know that you are CAPABLE.

I am seriously addicted to this person! My tears fell as her tears fell! She is so amazing! 😭🥰

[@GodHelpMe369]

The hardest person to break up with is the one you've created in your delusional, fantasy-making mind... Avoidants have PHDs in 'sabotaging relationships'! 1. Know your value!!! (Do NOT doubt yourself.) 2. Take yourself and your worth seriously. You need to BE A QUEEN to be treated like one. 3. Don’t give easy access to anyone, at any time. Access to your energy should be expensive. 4. Do NOT only express your boundaries. YOU MUST show them. 5. Always be ready to walk away. 6. Show that you are focused on actions not on words. 7. Have a healthy degree of skepticism. 8. You must be willing to say NO and you must be willing to lose the man, if needed. 9. Never EVER chase a man! A truly worthy woman, (who knows her worth) does not EVER chase a man. Giving the same energy that you're getting is key and if you don't like that energy then move on! NOW! It can be hard but that's when you need to choose yourself over the damn illusion/fantasy. A man who loves a woman will not ignore her, ever, period. So... If he ignores me I will step back and he will lose me. Simple. Simple. Non-dramatic and uncomplicated. I don’t, under any circumstance: play these childish-abusive-controlling mind games. I will only be with a man who values and appreciates me, and treats me as the Queen, I AM. (Daughter of the Most Hight; King of kings!) Because I am a beautiful and kind and divine and sexy and wise and intelligent and magical woman: who knows my worth. Period. Also, We create each moment. This moment contains, through my focus, both positive and negative... I can put my attention on what I lack, what I don't have, what traumas I do have etc... And, I can put my attention on the calm moment that I am in, NOW, the food I just ate, and the fact that my body is satisfied, the shelter I do have... (You get my idea!) Both are here... And now. For the sake of fairness, I will allow myself to cry my pains, in the moment if/when they come/arise, AND also acknowledge the beauty I still have in my life NOW. Pain? Yes. Suffering? Indeed. And, also: wonderous magical divine beauty. Blessings to you!

I started crying when evy was talking about her dad. My dad is my rock too. He’s 72 now and survived stage 1 kidney cancer. But I feel like I could be destroyed when he goes. It makes me so scared cuz I know someday it’s gonna happen. I hope when that time comes I have a really strong support system because I don’t know how I will survive without him 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@karenmininni4962]

What a beautiful moment in this video when Evy recalls the moment with her dad. His position on how to win the war has kept her moving forward in strength. That same strength that still resides within her moves us all forward in strength. Thank you Evy for sharing this.

[@michellem3441]

I totally agree with you. I had a very difficult childhood. I had to stand on my own two feet from the moment I was born. I experienced both trauma and adversity. However, I was loved and was never allowed to feel sorry for myself. It was this combination of being loved, but knowing no one was there to pick me up, that gave me resilience. I saw people around me making very bad decisions and people dying very prematurely or being very sick as a result of those decisions and ways of interacting. It messed me up for a long time but I kept going and kept trying to understand why people were doing what they were doing, and I got answers. I got the final answer in my 60s and it was the final piece of the puzzle. After that my life changed definitively and it lifted my depression. I never stopped trying and I never gave up. I got there. Everything I went through made me stronger and it taught me to never be swayed by the group. It was all worth it. Don't give up.and don't give in to temporary pleasure to numb the pain - sex money drugs alcohol. They just drag you down or slowly kill you.

[@ashwinikumar1946]

omg i really love u so much Lisa. (warning its pretty long comment bear with it). u dont know why much u saved my life at a critical situation. faced a rejection . from my dad, on t day i born as a girl child. faced so much hatred from my parents. struggle every bit of life for 22 yrs. escaped to foreign land pursing PhD. yet those sufferings never let me go keep haunting struggles forever. lost 6 yrs of relationship, my 1st love. failed at jobs. rejection failures. broken in every aspc, physically, mentally, financially. but one day i just watched ur video on rel intrv with Mtahew, whom I've been followed for sometime. it wdn't be surprise to say ur channel become a bible to me recently. after watching ur shows. i just told myself. be ready for worst to come. there s gonna be no oasis in my life only desserted lands no matter where i turn. i could feel only scorching sun draining my soul. so be strong nd face it girl...!!! thanks for saving me. one grain out of million.

[@marinamukhina5918]

I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I read “Becoming Bulletproof” while I was on my diving trip a couple weeks ago. The book is so incredible, there is so much brilliant advise you can integrate into your daily life and make yourself bulletproof. My favorite part of this episode is about different ways you can distract yourself. For me it’s apparently diving. But I really wanna try car racing. Thanks so much for such a great episode Lisa and Evy.

[@1marisophie]

I AM UNSTOPPABLE My favourite takeaway from this episode is the part of taking ownership of your own happiness. To not seek approval from others and take action for yourself. You can't wait for other people to make your life better, and if you want something to change you have to do it yourself. Dont let your happiness and the things you want in life be dependent on other people. I really love the episodes with Lisa and Evy. I loved how Lisa sat down and held Evy's hand when she started crying. It shows how real and considerate Lisa is as a person. I have learned so much from your videos. I loved this quote so much: "I take ownership of how I act and how I show up in the world." It inspired me today to work hard on my goals and keep going.

[@staceylopes4179]

[@dianethompson6804]

This video is PURE GOLD. Last year I committed to the habit of setting a single word goal for the next twelve months, and in 2022, my word will be STRENGTH. I’m beginning to see how everything I want to be and do as a woman, mother, partner, and artist glows from that origin. I’ve gotten so much clarity from your videos and writings, ladies! KEEP IT UP!!!!

[@magrittemagritte9523]

I admire some points of Evy but i disagree. I suffered abuse when i was a child and it delayed my development and caused me trauma and a stutter. Today i´m in faculty in my late years struggling really hard. I have a huge depression. My uncle was tortured and he became mentally ill, not functioning to this day. I don´t agree that everything creates resilience. Some things can really break you.

[@CristinaAcosta]

Yes. I agree. Her parents loved her even when they didn’t support her career choice. She describes their love as evergreen. That is her foundation. You and your uncle did not have foundational love. I wish you peace and contentment. Trust in your self love and the love you give.

[@jennyshipp333]

Absolutely true ♥ Sorry for your pain and suffering.

[@Benjaminleo815]

She did say trauma, rather than adversity, is harder to process and recover from. You have been through trauma.

[@Yourfavealex]

Some things break you, but it’s how you come back from it. Either you allow it to continue the rest of your life and define you, or you turn that into strength and move on. It’s sounds fucked up but it’s true. It’s not an easy process love but I promise once that happens you’ll see the world different. I’m currently breaking out of childhood traumas and traumas that have happened to me. It was the day I decided not to be a victim that I got off pills and got my life together.

[@cy3653]

I AM UNSTOPPABLE! My key take away from this video is that life is not happening to you or me, it is responding to us. I play a role and have an impact in the situations, people and events that either do or do not take place in my life. Take ownership, be mentally resistant and learn to adapt. We are in control of our own reactions and emotions and that is what makes you powerful! I journaled today that I want to surround myself with successful people and those who are actively in the process of not only bettering themselves but bringing up the people around them - I then came across this video! Thank you Evy & Lisa

[@lisachangty-seng1052]

[@michelegraham5949]

I AM UNSTOPPABLE. Love these two, they have such amazing insight and inspiration. I heard myself in Evy' & Lisa's comments (21:44) about taking ownership of our actions vs. being the victim. I'm healing from some childhood trauma & narcissistic relationships. It clicked that yes, these can be Traumatic experiences, but once you take responsibility to Understand the Trauma then you can convert it to Adversity. Then you can move on by using the skills you've learned or get help to solve the adversity. It sounds simplistic, but once I moved my Trauma to Adversity I wasn't a victim anymore. I was a work in progress!

[@user-zm3ny8tw4x]

Unrelenting adversity and fighting against it eventually makes us sick and burnt-out. I know, having dealt with cancer 4 times, just as things were starting to look up. I am lucky to have survived and now I am simply grateful for peace and quiet in my life.

You can try to forget and surpress the trauma, but the body does not forget. The trauma will come out either way out or create ilness in the body, or 80 years olds starts getting nightmares from the war they surpressed, I have seen this too many times with my work.

[@Christie_OUR_TURN_2024]

I get so much strength every time I watch these two together. They are an inspiration to not only females, but to men, young and old. I fwd these to my daughter who has been through so much adversity, with her health, my cancer and her father's and my divorce and to see how resilient she is for her age, is not only a proud moment for me; it's mind blowing to see how mentally tough she is. I saw her mental fortitude show itself in Taekwondo and again as life started to unfold in unpleasant situations and circumstances. She handles it like a BOSS and to say I'm so proud of her, would be an understatement. She's gentle and kind, yet, a total BADASS when life throws her curveballs. At the end of the day, she doesn't let adversity harden her heart and that's a feat in itself. She's tiny in size, but she has the mental strength of a Lioness/Lion. From her kindergarten shots fwd, I didn't coddle her and I would tell her that sometimes life is going to hurt, but we get through it. You survived those shots, just like you will any uncomfortable situation you come up against in the future. Our go to motto, after any kind of adversity was, "But did we die... NO!" And we'd hug tell each other we loved each other and move on. At the end of each day, we'd say at least one thing we were grateful for bc if we could find one positive out of a crappy situation, than all was not lost. She's my Angel and I never knew UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, until I was blessed, the day I became her mother. Thank you ladies.

Today I was confronted with some adversity and after a few minutes of trying to defend myself, I realized I was doing it wrong.. and I just STOPPED.

[@taragirsch4374]

This is so profound and EMPOWERING. We are not victims. That awareness of knowing no matter what adverse situation you are dealing with righ now we are GROWING and becoming strong as hell, this awareness is a real life SUPERPOWER.

[@QWNSWORDS]

I grew up rough as hell. Was almost murdered at 16 and I am one of the most successful, resilient people I know. Im so worried for some of the kids these days.

[@charlineorozco]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Takeaways: •Adversity WILL Always Happen. Don’t try to avoid it. Don’t stay in sorrow. Cope effectively & MOVE forward. •Surround yourself with people who see adversity as a challenge and not something designed to “push you down”. •When adversity hits, dont compjain about it. •Have a problem, FIND a solution. •ZERO pity party. 🙌🏼🔥🔥❤️ •Theres a difference between CHRONIC adversity and adversity that we cannot control. Chronic - you put yourself in a negative position. Adversity (outside our control)- conditions we can’t control. Example: The way we were raised, WHERE we grew up, natural disasters, etc. •Don’t cry or stay in sadness because of the difficulties you have gone through, use the hardships to improve yourself and HELP others. •Adversity helps create mental resilience. •Don’t stay in the trauma, push forward. I am u n s t o p p a b l e. 🙏🏼❤️

I AM UNSTOPPABLE I really appreciated hearing that waiting for someone to fix you or make things great is NOT going to fix anything. It is simply wasting time.
