L-Għaliex Explores Resilience: Turning Pain Into Purpose
The upcoming episode of L-Għaliex takes a deep dive into the power of resilience, exploring how individuals find strength in suffering and transform hardship into meaning.
Hosts Matthew Bartolo and Joseph Agius are joined by Isabelle Bonnici and Dr Ronald Zammit, who share personal experiences and expert insights on what it truly means to be resilient.
Matthew challenges the common view of resilience, framing it as a journey of growth rather than just overcoming obstacles.
He stresses the importance of self-compassion and embracing challenges, saying, “”Healing begins when we stop seeing ourselves as broken and start appreciating our strength.”
Isabelle’s powerful testimony brings this idea to life, sharing how her personal struggles gave her purpose and helped her move forward. “It was that purpose,” she explains, “that gave me the confidence to keep moving forward, even on the toughest days.”
Adding a therapeutic perspective, Dr. Zammit explores the science behind resilience, highlighting the role of genetics, environment, and emotional support. He emphasises self-compassion as a key to healing, stating, “Kindness towards ourselves is often the first step to healing.”
This episode of L-Għaliex is more than just a discussion—it’s a thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit, blending personal stories with professional insight to show how resilience is not just about surviving, but thriving beyond adversity.
Tune in to this episode later tonight and discover how resilience can help you transform pain into strength.
