# The Power of Resilience: Jo Malone's Journey

## Introduction:
In this captivating podcast episode, Jo Malone, the founder of Jo Malone London and Jo Loves, shares her insights on resilience and how to navigate life's challenges. She emphasizes the significance of perseverance and holding one's ground in the face of adversity.

## Resilience: A Mindset and a Skill:
- Resilience is not just about moving forward and achieving success; it also involves standing firm and holding one's ground when necessary.
- It's a mindset that recognizes that bad things happen but chooses to focus on the positive and learn from setbacks.
- Embracing resilience means not changing a thing in one's life, even the difficult experiences, as they shape who we are.

## Practical Tools for Building Resilience:
- **Solution-Focused Therapy:**
- Ask yourself, "What do I want to happen here?" instead of focusing on problems.
- Identify what you want and work towards it, breaking it down into smaller, achievable steps.
- **Positive Thinking:**
- Replace negative thoughts with positive ones, conditioning your mind to focus on the good.
- **Embracing Challenges:**
- Understand that challenging situations are opportunities for growth and learning.
- Push through moments of hopelessness and confusion, recognizing that these are temporary setbacks.

## Key Takeaways:
- Resilience is a crucial skill that helps us navigate life's ups and downs.
- It involves both moving forward and holding our ground when necessary.
- Practical tools like solution-focused therapy, positive thinking, and embracing challenges can help us build resilience.
- Every situation has its challenges, but it's essential to focus on the positive and learn from setbacks.

[00:00.000 -> 00:01.200] Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds.
[00:01.200 -> 00:05.200] At Mint Mobile, we like to do the opposite of what Big Wireless does.
[00:05.200 -> 00:07.800] They charge you a lot, we charge you a little.
[00:07.800 -> 00:11.800] So naturally, when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation,
[00:11.800 -> 00:15.500] we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you.
[00:15.500 -> 00:20.900] That's right! We're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month.
[00:20.900 -> 00:23.800] Give it a try at mintmobile.com.

[00:32.520 -> 00:37.920] On our podcast, we love to highlight businesses that are doing things a better way so you can live a better life.
[00:38.200 -> 00:41.240] And that's why when I found Mint Mobile, I had to share.
[00:41.520 -> 00:49.260] So Mint Mobile ditched retail stores and all those overhead costs and instead sells their phone plans online and passes those savings to
[00:49.260 -> 00:53.140] you. And for a limited time they're passing on even more savings with a new
[00:53.140 -> 00:58.600] customer offer that cuts all Mint Mobile plans to $15 a month when you purchase a
[00:58.600 -> 01:08.640] three-month plan. That's unlimited talk, text and data for $15 a month. And by the way, the quality of Mint Mobile's
[01:08.640 -> 01:14.040] wireless service in comparison to providers that we've worked with before is incredible.
[01:14.040 -> 01:19.820] Mint Mobile is here to rescue you with premium wireless plans for $15 a month. So say goodbye
[01:19.820 -> 01:28.080] to your overpriced wireless plans, those jaw-dropping monthly bills, those unexpected overages, because all the plans come with unlimited talk and text

[01:41.040 -> 01:48.840] limited time deal and get premium wireless service for just 15 bucks a month. To get this new customer offer and your new three-month

[02:08.640 -> 02:10.960] Hi there, welcome along to another bite-sized episode
[02:10.960 -> 02:12.480] of the High Performance Podcast.
[02:12.480 -> 02:14.160] Just a few minutes of your day,
[02:14.160 -> 02:16.320] just to give you a boost, just to lift you up,
[02:16.320 -> 02:17.480] just to make you feel good.
[02:17.480 -> 02:19.480] And let me, before we get going,
[02:19.480 -> 02:21.400] remind you that on Monday,
[02:21.400 -> 02:25.000] series five of the High Performance Podcast
[02:25.120 -> 02:27.400] returns, we're very excited.
[02:27.400 -> 02:29.680] We've got some amazing guests lined up for you.
[02:29.680 -> 02:32.760] So from Monday, we are back, we can't wait.
[02:32.760 -> 02:35.820] But for now, it's time for our bite-sized episode
[02:35.820 -> 02:37.680] from the High Performance Podcast.
[02:39.820 -> 02:41.820] Look at the situation that we're in as a world
[02:41.820 -> 02:44.340] at the moment where, you know, bad things are happening
[02:44.340 -> 02:47.920] every single day to people, but so are good things.
[02:47.920 -> 02:49.080] I think it's a mindset.
[02:49.080 -> 02:51.520] I think it's how you look at resilience.
[02:51.520 -> 02:54.080] It's how you look at fights.
[02:54.080 -> 02:58.720] That sense of, I mean, for me, resilience means don't quit.
[02:58.720 -> 03:03.360] Resilience is sometimes we move forward in situations and we walk towards our goal and
[03:03.360 -> 03:07.000] sometimes you just have to hold your ground.
[03:07.000 -> 03:10.240] Resilience isn't always about moving forward and being successful.
[03:10.240 -> 03:13.280] I think when I look back at my life, I wouldn't change a thing.
[03:13.280 -> 03:14.280] Isn't that weird?
[03:14.280 -> 03:19.640] I really wouldn't change a thing because I think I am the person I am today because of
[03:19.640 -> 03:21.160] all those steps.
[03:21.160 -> 03:28.640] I might change some of the things I've said to people because I'm quite impulsive but I wouldn't change my life in it, not even the cancer chapter and I
[03:28.640 -> 03:33.960] know that sounds a very strange thing to say but I learned so much about myself, I
[03:33.960 -> 03:38.440] learned about life, I learned about love and I learned about the things I didn't
[03:38.440 -> 03:43.320] want in my life. I think Damien this whole episode and I really want people
[03:43.320 -> 03:49.760] to understand this, brings me back to the feeling that just because something is Damien, y cyfnod hwn, ac rydw i eisiau i bobl deall hyn, mae'n rhoi'r sylw i mi ynghylch y byddai rhywbeth yn anodd i chi,
[03:49.760 -> 03:52.240] ond ddim yn golygu bod e'n ddiflannu'n dda i chi.
[03:52.240 -> 03:54.240] Mae'n rhaid i ni gael y cyd-dreth y ddau hynny, ydy'n ni?
[03:54.240 -> 03:57.760] Ie, a chael ymlaen o ddefnyddio termau fel hynny,
[03:57.760 -> 03:59.840] da neu dda, ac efallai ei weld fel,
[03:59.840 -> 04:02.080] yw hyn yn ddefnyddiol neu ddim yn ddefnyddiol ar y moment?
[04:02.080 -> 04:04.000] Ac yn y bob cyfnod,
[04:04.000 -> 04:05.000] pan fyddwn ni'n cael ei ddefnyddio, gallwn ni ddod o hyd i rhywbeth o waith sy'n gallu ein helpu ni o fewn hyn yn ddefnyddiol neu'n ddefnyddiol ar y moment? Ac mae'n bwysig bod pob sefyllfa pan ydym yn cael ei ymdrechu,
[04:05.000 -> 04:06.000] y gallwn ddod o'r gwaith
[04:06.000 -> 04:07.000] i rai pethau o waith
[04:07.000 -> 04:08.000] sy'n gallu ein helpu ni o fewn hyn.
[04:08.000 -> 04:09.000] Beth yw'r tric, yna,
[04:09.000 -> 04:11.000] i bobl sy'n clywed at hyn?
[04:11.000 -> 04:13.000] Ac maen nhw'n cymhau
[04:13.000 -> 04:15.000] i ddod o'r gwaith.
[04:15.000 -> 04:18.000] Yna trics y gallwn eu gweithredu?
[04:18.000 -> 04:19.000] Ie, mae gennym tric pwerus iawn,
[04:19.000 -> 04:20.000] a'i gwybod fel
[04:20.000 -> 04:22.000] therapiaeth sy'n caniatáu'r gysylltiad.
[04:22.000 -> 04:23.000] Mae'n syniad a oedd wedi'i dod o'r gwaith
[04:23.000 -> 04:25.000] yn y 1970au, ac mae'n defnyddio'n gyffredin mewn gwaith gydol yn y gynulliadau gwybodaeth a'r sylwadau sy'n seiliedig ar y therapaeth. Mae'n sylwadau sy'n dod o'r 1970au
[04:25.000 -> 04:27.000] ac mae'n defnyddio'n gyffredinol
[04:27.000 -> 04:29.000] yn ymwneud â'r cyngor ymarferol a'r gweithredu.
[04:29.000 -> 04:32.000] Felly, y peth cyntaf y byddai pobl yn gofyn
[04:32.000 -> 04:34.000] i rywun sydd wedi dod i'w helpu yw,
[04:34.000 -> 04:35.000] beth yw'r broblem?
[04:35.000 -> 04:37.000] Ac beth yw'r sylwadau sy'n seiliedig ar y therapaeth?
[04:37.000 -> 04:39.000] Nid yw'n gofyn y cwestiwn hwnnw'n gyntaf.
[04:39.000 -> 04:40.000] Yn gyntaf, gofyn i bobl
[04:40.000 -> 04:42.000] beth yw'r cwestiwn ymarferol.
[04:42.000 -> 04:43.000] Beth yw eich eisiau?
[04:43.000 -> 04:49.040] Beth byddai'r sylwadau perffaith yn eich gwneud i chi os oes pethau'n mynd yn iawn? Ac yna, unwaith i chi wedi cydnabod beth ydych chi'n ei eisiau,
[04:49.040 -> 04:52.640] dywedwch yna, felly, pan yw eich bod chi ar y moment? Ac maen nhw'n dilyn y cyfrifiad
[04:52.640 -> 04:56.480] yn y cwestiwn o'r cyfrifiad. Felly os ydych chi'n gallu sylwi'r cyfrifiad o 1-10,
[04:56.480 -> 05:00.240] ac mae'r arlwg yn 10, ac maen nhw'n dweud, beth byddwch chi'n ei gyfrifiad
[05:00.240 -> 05:04.320] heddiw? Ac os ydych chi'n cyfrifiad eich hunain fel 2, y peth cyntaf yna yw,
[05:04.320 -> 05:08.320] pam ydych chi'n 2? Pa ddewis yw eich bod chi wedi'i gael sy'n gwneud eich ddwy?
[05:08.320 -> 05:12.000] Felly, nid yw'n ddisaster cyflog, ond beth sy'n mynd iawn.
[05:12.000 -> 05:16.240] Ac y peth o'i chyd yw, unwaith y gwnaethoch chi gynlluniau, y gallwch chi yna dechrau
[05:16.240 -> 05:19.720] seilio arno. Mae'n llawn fel effaith sgaffeld, yna dweud,
[05:19.720 -> 05:23.920] sut dwi'n mynd i'r tri yma? Ac mae'n ffordd dda iawn i ddod o'r
[05:23.920 -> 05:25.000] ffordd i bobl i mewn i'r meddwl hwnnw, i ddechrau edrychion. Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn.
[05:25.000 -> 05:26.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:26.000 -> 05:27.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:27.000 -> 05:28.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:28.000 -> 05:29.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:29.000 -> 05:30.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:30.000 -> 05:31.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:31.000 -> 05:32.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:32.000 -> 05:33.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:33.000 -> 05:34.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:34.000 -> 05:35.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:35.000 -> 05:36.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:36.000 -> 05:37.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:37.000 -> 05:38.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:38.000 -> 05:39.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:39.000 -> 05:40.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:40.000 -> 05:41.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:41.000 -> 05:42.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:42.000 -> 05:43.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:43.000 -> 05:44.000] Iawn, iawn.
[05:44.000 -> 05:46.680] Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn. Iawn, iawn. eventually get to the point where you're so conditioned not to be a negative thinker.
[05:46.680 -> 05:50.720] I think that's a really sort of powerful tool that would certainly work for me and I would
[05:50.720 -> 05:54.680] recommend it for anyone listening to this just to give it a go and see whether it impacts
[05:54.680 -> 05:55.680] them.
[05:55.680 -> 05:58.920] I think the other thing that we must really talk about, Damien, that I know we'll be quick
[05:58.920 -> 06:01.240] because it's a bite-sized episode.
[06:01.240 -> 06:07.000] Everyone listening to this needs to understand that every element of their life at some point Mae pawb sy'n clywed hyn yn eich bod yn eich bod yn deall bod pob element o'u bywyd ar unrhyw dod yn teimlo fel ffail,
[06:07.000 -> 06:11.000] eu cysylltiadau, eu galluau o'u rhai, eu busnesau y maen nhw'n ymweld â nhw.
[06:11.000 -> 06:16.000] Beth bynnag mae'n ymwneud â hyn, mae gennym ni'r moment hwn, ac mae'r moment hwn yn y rhaid i ni gael y gydaelod mwy na byth.
[06:16.000 -> 06:20.000] Mae angen i ni ddod allan, oherwydd ar y ddeg arall o hynny, mae'r peth da.
[06:20.000 -> 06:26.720] Mae'n cael ei ddweud, mewn llyfrgell teichologaidd, fel y dyddanta ac mae'n ei enw o ran y ddweudwyr yw Rosbeth Moss-Canta
[06:26.720 -> 06:28.800] sy'n dweud yng nghanol unrhyw broject
[06:28.800 -> 06:31.200] bydd yn edrych ac yn teimlo fel ffail.
[06:31.200 -> 06:33.920] Bydd yna amser lle byddwch chi'n mynd yn ymwneud â'r ffyrdd i'w gwneud
[06:33.920 -> 06:35.720] ond dydych chi ddim yn fyr i'r ddiwedd
[06:35.720 -> 06:40.040] ac dyna lle mae'ch ymgyrchu a'ch morale yn dechrau'n dylw.
[06:40.040 -> 06:41.840] Mae'n dechrau eich gwybod eich hun.
[06:41.840 -> 06:45.000] Ac rwy'n credu yr hyn a dwe cyfrifedd yma o'r gwaith Joe
[06:45.000 -> 06:48.000] yw'r cyfroeddau y mae'n rhaid i chi gyd ymddangos,
[06:48.000 -> 06:49.000] ymdrechu'n eu hwnnw,
[06:49.000 -> 06:51.000] oherwydd unwaith y gwnaethoch chi'n ymdrechu'n nhw,
[06:51.000 -> 06:53.000] byddwch yn cael cynyddu,
[06:53.000 -> 06:55.000] ac dyna'r llyfr y dechreuwch gweld newid
[06:55.000 -> 06:56.000] yn dechrau ddigwydd.
[06:56.000 -> 06:57.000] Felly dyna'r cyfrifedd.
[06:57.000 -> 07:00.000] Dechreuwch yn gofyn eich hun mewn unrhyw sefyllfa,
[07:00.000 -> 07:02.000] beth y byddwn i eisiau ei wneud yma?
[07:02.000 -> 07:05.400] Ychydig o ffeiniadau negatif gyda'r pwysigrwydd. Ac yn ogystal â'r ffaith bod yna gwneud cyfnod What do I want to happen here? Replace any negative thoughts with positive ones.
[07:05.400 -> 07:09.800] And finally, understand that there will be a moment in every situation,
[07:09.800 -> 07:14.400] possibly even in every day where things feel hopeless and like you're a bit lost and you're a bit confused.
[07:14.400 -> 07:16.800] And that is the time to push through.
[07:16.800 -> 07:19.200] If you haven't heard the full episode from Joe Malone,
[07:19.200 -> 07:26.720] please, it is one of the most moving episodes that Damien and I have recorded in the, in the four series of the High Performance Podcast that we've done.

[07:28.820 -> 07:30.200] I promise you'll get loads from it.
[07:30.200 -> 07:31.560] And Damien, we're excited.
[07:31.920 -> 07:35.760] On Monday, Series 5 is back and we start with Christian Horner,
[07:35.760 -> 07:37.680] the Formula One team boss from Red Bull.
[07:37.720 -> 07:39.640] Christian Horner-He was such an amazing conversation, Jake,
[07:39.640 -> 07:43.640] and I think it's a perfect one to kickstart a really exciting,
[07:43.640 -> 07:45.720] diverse range of interviews that
[07:45.720 -> 07:49.680] we've got lined up in series 5. Wonderful, you can't keep a good
