## Resource

Sometimes the signs that we're running low on resilience aren't dramatic. We're still turning up. Still getting through the to-do list. Still appearing to cope. But underneath, something feels different. In this Quick Spoon , chartered coaching psychologist Dr Rose Aghdami shares some of the subtle warning signs that we might be running on empty, and invites us to ask a simple but powerful question: Am I thriving, or am I simply surviving? This Quick Spoon is taken from my full conversation with Dr Rose Aghdami, author of How to FUEL Your Resilience . If you'd like to hear the complete conversation, you'll find it wherever you listen to People Soup.
