The Many Faces of Resilience
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. –Proverbs 31:7
Some resilience is forged in the workplace. Not in big, dramatic moments—but in the quiet, persistent push against systems that weren’t built with you in mind.
Debbie and Donna, twin engineers, stepped into a world where women were often underappreciated and undervalued. One went into construction, the other into electronics. They faced gender discrimination—sometimes subtle, sometimes not. But they kept going.

Debbie built her own consulting firm from the ground up. Donna joined a large manufacturing company and later faced something even harder—the sudden loss of her husband. She was left to raise three children on her own.
Their paths diverged, but their strength was shared. They didn’t just survive. They built, led, and nurtured—teams, families, futures.
Resilience sometimes looks like showing up again.
And again. And again.
