Description

In this Most Played cut from Episode 64, Mickelle sits down with TEDx speaker and Resilience Mentor, Nina Aziz Justin, to unpack the Resilience Equation: time × beginner’s mindset, raised to the power of incremental action. Through her journey as a founder and mother to a child with a rare neurological condition, Nina shows how to build “inner scaffolding” and a custom life that can flex with change.

They challenge hustle-as-suffering culture, re-centering micro-joys, adaptability, and mindset as the real engines of sustainable success, whether you’re parenting, launching a startup, or starting over in a new country.

In this episode:

  • The Resilience Equation (time × beginner’s mindset)^(incremental action)

  • Inner scaffolding: sustaining a life you want, even in uncertainty

  • Why micro-joys matter more than chasing “big win” highs

  • Resilience without glorifying suffering

  • Custom life design: pivoting, flexibility, and timing

  • Mindset as leverage for meaningful outcomes (including TEDx)
