Resilience — How to Keep Going When Quitting Feels Easier

Starting is easy. Sticking with it is where most people quit.

In this episode of Breakthrough with Mallory & Julie, we’re talking about resilience—the kind that shows up after the motivation fades, the plan falls apart, and life throws a wrench directly at your face. This isn’t about “positive vibes only” or grinding yourself into burnout. This is real-world personal development for women who want growth, success, and the ability to keep going when it gets hard.

Mallory Herron and Julie Burch break down why most women don’t actually lack resilience everywhere—they struggle in specific pressure points. Emotional reactions. Mental overwhelm. Burnout. Fear of failure. Change. Conflict. Self-doubt. Sound familiar? We name it, call it out, and show you how to build resilience where you need it most.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why emotional regulation is a non-negotiable skill for empowered women
• How mental resilience shuts down overthinking, excuses, and analysis paralysis
• The truth about burnout (you’re not weak—you’re fried)
• How to stay the course when plans change and life gets messy
• Why resilient women don’t fail less—they recover faster
• How to stop outsourcing your confidence to other people’s opinions
• Why discipline beats motivation every single time

We also talk about Julie’s “war on self-abdication,” the moment Mallory learned resilience the hard way, and why your why—even if it’s not noble or Instagram-worthy—is the fuel that keeps you moving forward.

If you’re a woman who knows she’s capable of more but keeps getting stuck at the same quitting point…this episode is for you.

Because empowerment isn’t about feeling ready.
Resilience is what gets you through the dojo.
And success belongs to the women who stay in the game.
