Toen de grenzen van Amerika begin 2020 op slot gingen vanwege COVID-19, kwam Thirsa vast te zitten in Nederland. In deze maanden, waarin ze zonder werk noodgedwongen bij vrienden op de bank logeerde, ontstond het idee voor de podcast: Real Resilience, een ode aan mentale veerkracht.

The wonderful thing about niksen is that you’re always one step away from doing nothing. Your first baby step is to make the doing-of-nothing a small event and try not to think about it too much.
