Remember: Resilience isn't built in chaos, but in the pause.

If we were sitting across from each other right now, steaming mugs of coffee in hand, I’d probably start by saying, “Wow, 2024 really did a number on us, huh?”

I don’t know about you, but between my daughter’s hip surgery, growing my business, and the aftermath of the election results, I’m already side-eyeing 2025 like, “Can we take it slow this time?”

Resilience can’t be built in the midst of chaos.

It’s built in the pauses—in those moments of reflection, recalibration, and most often joy.

— Yvonne Jackson

Rooted in Resilience

You’ve probably noticed me leaning hard into the theme of RESILIENCE lately, especially on LinkedIn. This isn’t a distraction from my DEI work. SocialEDG is still helping clients build equitable workplaces.

But with today being January 6 (Remember 2021?), I feel it’s more important than ever to focus on resilience.

Resilience keeps us grounded.

It helps us stay steady when tough conversations at work feel overwhelming.
It gives us the courage to advocate for change, even when the odds are stacked against us.
And it allows us to juggle parenting, caregiving, work deadlines, and personal goals without losing ourselves in the process.

Resilience in the Workplace

To create an equitable workplace, you need resilient employees—people who can adapt, persevere, and thrive despite challenges.

These employees aren’t just workers; they’re caregivers, leaders, and individuals balancing countless roles. For them to bring their best, they also need opportunies to rest, recharge, and recover.

Resilience isn’t just about pushing through; it’s about having the space to restore and show up fully.

So, I’ll be standing on my resilience soapbox for a while—lol—but I don’t want to stand there alone.
