About this Episode
Welcome to The Online Prosperity Show, and I'm your host Prosper Taruvinga. This is the number one place where you’ll find exclusive conversations that unlock the real stories behind personal growth, business transformation, and the mindset shifts that change lives. Today, we're diving deep into the heart of resilience—literally—with Meri McCoy-Thompson, Executive Director of Dovetail Learning and co-author of The Heart of Resilience.
Now, before we get serious, let’s acknowledge something: when your name is Meri and your mission is emotional healing, it’s practically destiny. But don’t let the gentle smile and nonprofit job title fool you—this woman has navigated the parenting minefield, survived epic career pivots, and built a global legacy one emotional muscle at a time. And if you've ever put on a "tough armor" just to make it through the day, then you're going to feel right at home with Meri's story.
In this episode, we explore how Meri’s work supporting health and education nonprofits across continents shaped her understanding of what people really need to thrive. We talk about the moment she realized resilience wasn’t just a buzzword—it was the foundation for every kind of growth, personal or systemic. And we uncover how the challenges she’s faced in the past year, from losing her mom to facing her husband's serious health issues, have deepened her connection to the We Are Resilient™ approach she now champions.
Somewhere in the middle of this conversation, you’ll be reminded just how essential it is to have the tools to navigate life’s chaos with emotional clarity. If you've ever wished for a better way to manage stress, strengthen relationships, or show up more fully in your life, this episode offers real, actionable insight.
We dig into the invisible threads that connect Meri’s international humanitarian work to her deeply personal healing journey. This episode is more than a story—it’s a transformation. One that connects Meri’s early days navigating motherhood alone to helping thousands reclaim their emotional power today.
Meri shares how Dovetail Learning launched their We Are Resilient™ program just before the pandemic and had to rethink everything when their core audience—educators and health workers—were pushed to their limits. But out of that challenge came a broader mission: offering practical, preventive mental health tools for people from all walks of life.
You’ll hear about the emotional and professional impact of this work, how practicing what she teaches has helped Meri weather some of the hardest moments of her life, and how the framework she uses has empowered others to reclaim their own agency and authenticity.
She also reflects on the personal lessons that shaped her journey, including her earlier struggles with self-regulation and emotional fatigue. That moment of reconnection between her past experiences and the mission she lives out now is a powerful one—and one that just might inspire your own transformation.
