Activating Sisu: The Finnish Art of Courage, Resilience, and Strength
What is sisu? More than just a word, it’s a way of being—a Finnish concept of resilience, determination, and inner strength that has no direct English translation. In this episode, we explore how sisu is the spark that drives us forward when we feel stuck, exhausted, or on the brink of giving up. It’s about finding the courage to act in the face of doubt, fear, or failure, and stepping fully into your power.
Join us as we unpack the essence of sisu, uncover how you can harness it in your own life, and discover why this untranslatable force is a game-changer for pushing past limits and stepping into action. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, chasing big goals, or just trying to get through a tough day, sisu might be exactly what you need.
