Resilience

In this episode, I speak with B.K. Chan about how rejection resilience enables us to live more courageous and authentic lives. In the last episode of Strippers and Sages, Jamila Reddy spoke about the importance of being in touch with and brave enough to pursue our desires. That bravery involves being willing to face rejection ourselves as well as to reject others in order to remain in our truth. Rejection resilience is an essential yet ofter overlooked part of the consent conversation, and B.K. Chan has much wisdom to offer on the topic. B.K. Chan is an award-winning sex and emotional literacy educator in Toronto, Canada, with 20+ years of experience. Trained in Creative Facilitation, Productive Thinking, and Non-Violent Communication, BK's favourite ways to learn and teach are through stories, metaphors, diagrams, and things that make people laugh. Above all, BK is dedicated to having difficult conversations that are real, transformative, and kind. In 2014, BK was named "Service Provider of the Year" by Planned Parenthood of Toronto for her work in sexual health and was honoured in 2017 as one of 30 Chinese Canadian women of distinction in Ontario. BK is currently working on a series of tiny books and videos about feelings and justice. Her online course on Emotional Intelligence was released in 2018 and is widely available to the public.
