Now What? ~ to hardiness and resilience with Tisa Sylvester
In this episode of the FoundHer Series, Carrie chats with Tisa Sylvester, a contributing author to The Lighthouse Project – Beautiful Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected, Volume 2. Tisa’s chapter, Now What, explores the power of embracing challenges—navigating uncomfortable experiences and relationships that ultimately foster personal growth.
Tisa’s story is one of hardiness and resilience, shaped by her willingness to say “yes” to unforeseen opportunities with curiosity and compassion. Her journey wasn’t without struggle—feelings of inadequacy often surfaced, contrasting sharply with her determination to grow. However, with the support of someone who believed in her, and stepping up to possibilities, she learned to reframe doubt as a catalyst for improvement rather than a setback. From dropping out of high school to an advanced critical care nursing. Now What?
Carrie and Tisa also discuss the experience of contributing to Beautiful Chaos. Writing her chapter was not just a creative process but a deeply personal and therapeutic one. “All the feels came through in the writing process,” Tisa shares. Working with the editor was especially helpful, providing guidance and perspective that strengthened her storytelling. Tisa hopes to inspire others to take the first step toward new opportunities—even when it feels uncomfortable.💕
