Life⌠itâs a lot.Â
Â
It often feels as though thereâs more to keep track of, keep up with, juggle, and handle than there are hours in the day. Â
If only you had an extra set of hands.
35% more energy. More hours in the day. Slightly less on your plate. Increased bandwidth. Then youâd be able to feel as though you had it under control.Â
Right now, though, itâs easy to feel like youâre playing catch-up, but never actually catching up.Â
Remember that last vacation you took? Or even a truly restful weekend? Then the feeling you had as you got back into your life afterwards, of the walls closing in again.Â
What if it didnât have to be like that?
What if you could feel like your vacation self, not just a week out of the year, but every day of your actual life?Â
Building Resilience is here to show you how to move beyond overwhelm and infuse your life with a feeling of lightness, freedom, fluidity, and ease.
Resilience can mean a lot of different things, so first things first, letâs addressâŚ
MYTH #1:Â
You just need to take more adaptogen herbs!
Â
We love herbs!Â
If youâre reading this, then you probably love herbs, too!Â
But herbs arenât the ONLY answer to stress and overwhelm.Â
And, itâs increasingly obvious that buying expensive packets of herbs as the latest health fad is DEFINITELY not the answer.Â
Herbalists have long known that itâs not simply the herbs you take, but your relationship to the plants themselves that really matters. If youâre simply swallowing herbal pills instead of pharmaceutical pills, then your health transformation will be limited!Â
Instead of throwing money at supplements (that literally go down the drain), we want you to feel empowered to choose simple, whole herbs that really support you. Herbs that you develop a deep relationship with.Â
Not because they are the latest âcool exoticâ herb but because they are your love match. Your herbal bestie that you trust deeply and can turn to again and again for support.
MYTH #2:
You just need to find the right hack (and you also need to toughen up while youâre at it)
Â
It makes sense that, as the modern world speeds up faster and faster, we need tips, tricks and hacks in order to squeeze everything into our increasingly complicated lives.Â
Whether itâs your morning beauty routine, how to handle your overflowing inbox, or simply how to get decent meals on the table, there are literally thousands of hacks out there to supposedly âbring hours back into your dayâ.Â
But they donât.Â
In the end, youâre still stuffing more and more into your life and falling into the never ending spiral of overwhelm.Â
Instead there are two very important approaches to dealing with an overflowing life.Â
- Get rid of excess (especially, if possible, things that arenât giving you joy)
- Change your relationship to overwhelm (see Myth #3).Â
Thereâs no single hack (or ten hacks) that will magically transform your levels of overwhelm or sense of resilience. (Spoiler alert: the Building Resilience course can, though.)
Your current levels of stress and overwhelm arenât indications that you need to toughen up, be less sensitive, or get over yourself.Â
Resilience isnât about being tough, or about ignoring
lifeâs realities.Â
Instead, itâs more about learning to be like the willow that easily bends in the breeze, or the dandelion that firmly roots itself into any place it lands. The plants we love are so adaptable, and learn to thrive, not despite but BECAUSE of their own unique qualities.
 MYTH #3
If you could escape your life, youâd feel better.Â
Â
Have you ever heard the phrase âwherever you go, there you are?â.Â
Itâs annoyingly true.Â
You can take a step out for a few weeks here and there, but at some point, your patterns will creep back in, even if youâre living on a tiny island in the Bahamas with no responsibility.Â
Sad, but true!Â
Thatâs because feeling overwhelmed is about the relationship you have with whatâs going on in your life, not the actual contents of your life.Â
Just as herbalists like to say you have to get to the root cause of eczema or digestive complaints, the same is true for stress and overwhelm. You canât sidestep stress with hacks, or adaptogens, or run to a vacation forever.Â
Wherever you go, there you are.Â
So letâs make sure you are in flow with who you really are.Â
To recap:Â
Â
-Building Resilience is not about finding the energy to try harder.Â
-Itâs not about productivity hacks. Â
-Itâs not about being harder on yourself.
-Nor is it about handfuls of adaptogens, so that you can supposedly carry on down the same road. Â
-Itâs not about walking away into the sunset and leaving your dishes undone while you sit on a beach somewhere (although we do recommend this from time to time).Â
So what is Resilience?
Resilience is the ability to quickly and effortlessly adapt to any challenges you face in life.
The Building Resilience Course shows you how to find resilience within yourself.
INTRODUCING BUILDING RESILIENCE
Â
Building Resilience is a 4 month online course that helps you to uncover your own resilience roadmap, so that you can be centered, grounded, and connected, even (or especially) during stressful times.
Â
Weâve created Building Resilience for busy, stress-full people who want to finally ditch their constant feelings of overwhelm.
With Building Resilience youâll develop:
A deep and long-lasting connection to your inner self
to give strength and perspective and ensure that youâre acting from a place of integrity and flow
Practical exercises to deeply center yourself
so that you can feel calm during stressful times
AÂ deeper understanding of your own unique skills
and outlook in the world (based on ancient herbal constitutions â so fascinating and insightful)
Your own connection with herbal allies
to support your nervous system and address the negative effects of stress
A roadmap for yourself, to remain in a state of resilience
(and to get back there whenever you need to â because you know, life happens)
Skills for building more joy
fulfillment, and resilience into your life
AÂ sense of trust
that your own pace and your own resilience roadmap are perfect and right for you.
Building Resilience is not just about learning these things intellectually. Nor is it about adding more things to your to-do list to make you a âbetter performerâ.
Instead, itâs a journey into deeper embodiment of your OWN resilience.
Building Resilience guides you through important skills in a gentle, ease-filled way, so that these deep changes actually feel fun (yes, it is possible!).Â
Â
-You will know yourself more deeply through meditations and journaling exercises.Â
Â
-You will experience resilience tools to lean into (from breath work to meditation to herbal recipes)Â
Â
-You will peer through a new worldview that allows for the uniqueness of your own personality and elemental make-up, to find ways to work WITH your unique gifts instead of against them.Â
Â
All of this creates a state â one in which you feel capable, and filled with ease about all that life has to offer.
Whatâs in the course?
Â
Building Resilience is built on journal prompts and meditations which are created to help you develop skills for resilience and embody deep, lasting changes.
Â
There are 4 modules in the course, and each module has its own playbook, which you can either read or listen to.
Â
The lessons in the playbook are a compilation of information that we have researched and studied over the years that we have been practicing as herbalists. Weâve drawn from a variety of disciplines, like neuroscience, ecology, herbalism, and our studies of the Humoural Temperaments.
Â
Building Resilience is paced generously, with bite-size lessons spaced out week by week. Itâs structured so that you have the space to read, practice, and assimilate the lesson for the week without feeling rushed or adding to your overwhelm.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Each Phase containsâŚ
â Prompts to help you develop the skills to transform your sense of overwhelm into ease.Â
Â
â An extensive and beautiful PDF playbook that will guide you through the course materials. Each playbook is also available as an audio recording, so you can download and listen on the go.
Â
â 1-3 downloadable meditations.
Phase IÂ
Â
-
Phase I guides you to connect to your core self â the essence of your being. This Core self, who you develop a relationship with, will guide you through the rest of the course. Â
 -
This will be instrumental in helping you develop a more resilient life, and is a tool you will continue to use long after the course is finished.Â
Phase II
Â
-
Phase II is about unlearning common cultural beliefs that weâre all supposed to be a certain way. Instead, you will learn to see the true value in the many ways of being. You will do this through learning about the four personality elements and your own unique combination of these elements.Â
-
In this Phase, youâll learn how important and valuable your own makeup is, and how you can live more easily in flow once you tap into your unique strengths and qualities.Â
Phase IIIÂ
Â
-
Phase III is about finding joy in nourishment, sleep and movement. You will experiment with, and develop tools (both herbal and non-herbal) for nourishing yourself, resting, and moving in a way that is specific to your body and constitution.
Phase IV
-
Is about developing your resilience through friendship, community, and boundaries. This phase is about how the world outside yourself is such a huge part of your resilience roadmap. It includes guidance, journal prompts and exercises to help you develop this area of your life further.
Take Building Resilience With You
Â
For the first time ever, every Building Resilience playbook is available as downloadable audio.
Pop the course in your earbuds while you garden, drive, tidy the kitchen, or head out for a quiet walk. Instead of needing to carve out extra time, you can let the teachings accompany your everyday life.
Youâll have the flexibility to listen, read, or move between both formats in whatever way feels most supportive to you.
 And then there are the bonuses!
You'll get short focused monographs for each of the herbal allies so you can choose which plant allies you want to develop a relationship with (3-4 per phase).
You'll have access to specific simple herbal recipes to help you address stress and adapt to change.
You'll receive weekly emails guiding you through the pace of the course (so it never feels overwhelming).
There are 4 live Q&As with Rosalee and Rebecca, to answer any questions and give more insight into the lessons. (These will be recorded for future viewing.)
You'll get access to a private Building Resilience community group for you to discuss the lessons, herbs and recipes.
New this year: Four live Community Gatheringsâone at the end of each Phaseâto connect with fellow students, share insights, and explore the course themes together.
After many wonderful years of teaching Building Resilience,
Â
weâve decided that this will be the final time the course is offered. If youâve been waiting for the right time to join, this is your last opportunity to experience Building Resilience with us.
Weâre confident youâll love Building Resilience. Â
Â
But if you feel this is not the course for you, you can request a full refund anytime during your first 14 days of membershipâno questions asked. Weâll even thank you for giving it a try.
Â
Donât let uncertainty stand between you and success. We personally guarantee Building Resilience 100%!

Â
But you donât have to take our words for it. Hereâs what students are saying...
 I am grateful to have had the gift of this course. I am grateful to have knowledge that I would have taken a long time to discover on my own. I am grateful for the intelligence, compassion, humor, and willingness of Rebecca and Rosalee to guide me into making practical changes in my life which support my resilience. I am grateful to have this wealth of knowledge waiting for me to dive more deeply into in my future.
- Monnica G.
I highly recommend the Building Resilience course from Rosalee and Rebecca! The most important thing about it is the way it frames "resilience": as a mindset, not a destination. This course is not about learning all the "tips & tricks to a better you," but instead provides a framework from which to better understand your own unique skills and temperament so that you can be more prepared to handle the ups and downs of your own journey. Through specific journal prompts and meditations, I developed greater insight into my own individuality that, combined with the course's concrete resilience strategies, help me develop an overall plan for self-care that works for me. On top of all that, the course includes detailed info on specific "herbal allies" with monographs and recipes that helped me incorporate the use of herbs into my "resilience roadmap." While not all the ideas in the course were new to me, this well-balanced, even-paced course helped me develop a better understanding of myself and techniques for practicing greater resilience.
-Â J.D.
Prior to taking the course I felt very reactive to situations. Now that I understand who I am at my core I am able to pause and respond. The course has increased my curiosity to explore more of who I am.
- Jennifer L.

Â
Committing to something can be scary â what if you try and it doesnât work!? What if you canât actually do it?!
Â
Now itâs up to you:
This is where we step in with some reassurances about our side of things:Â
Â
Weâve designed this course to be doable in bite-size pieces. In other words, it fits into your busy life!
Â
We are confident in the course that we have created â not just because itâs brilliant, but because we have seen the results in our students, too. While it will not turn you into a different person in 4 months, it will give you the tools you need to change your own life long term, and enough evidence that itâs working in 4 months that youâll feel confident to carry on using the tools youâve been given.
This is a commitment that will repay you, time and time again, for the rest of your life. You will learn tools that youâll use forever, and learn a perspective on life that will change who you are and how you feel on a daily basis.
Â
To feel effortless and easy in your life is no small thing. Itâs something that both of us never take for granted now that we have it. The same goes for all our past students â we still get emails thanking us for this course, years later! We want you to experience that feeling of effortlessness, too.
It might sound impossible, but itâs not. Itâs a series of tiny changes, made over time, using the tools we give you.
Your only job is to step in, commit to the time and reading, and do the small steps we lay out for you..
Â
One day, a year from now, youâll be moving through your day with ease as more things come up and land on your plate, and youâll realize something: âIâm a different person! A year ago, I wished to be here and didnât know how it was possible, and now Iâm here.âÂ
We canât wait to meet you and guide you through this utterly life-changing transformation.
After many wonderful years of teaching Building Resilience, we've decided that 2026 will be the final time we offer this course.
Â
We've loved guiding students through this journey and witnessing the profound ways they grow in confidence, self-awareness, and resilience. While it's bittersweet to close this chapter, we're excited to pour our hearts into one final offering.
If Building Resilience has been calling to you, we encourage you not to wait for "someday." This is your last opportunity to experience the course with us.
