242: Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience: A New Leadership Framework
Rimi Chakraborty and Samantha Anderson are on a mission to inspire women to redefine success by blending ancient wisdom with modern leadership. They have co-authored a book, to be released on February 14, 2024, Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience: A Revolutionary Women's Leadership Framework for Balance, Well-being, and Success.
Rimi, a previous guest on my podcast, and Samantha shared their origin stories with me, including how they met and developed the work that evolved into their book. They each made significant changes in their lives towards a deeper sense of purpose and well-being. Then, Samantha and her husband stayed at the lodge and learning center owned by Rimi and her husband in the Azores. The women made a fast connection based on their common interests in health and well-being and kept in touch weekly after Samantha returned home to the US.
Rimi and Samantha began to plan a nutrition and yoga retreat for April 2020, which did not occur, yet they continued to talk, and a powerful theme surfaced. Samantha shared, “I’m tired of being told to be resilient. Resilience is not enough to deal with the stressors and challenges of the day.” They developed an online course, Going Beyond Resilience. The response from participants was so transformative that Rimi and Samantha created the term Rootsilience ("root - zeel - ience"), which informed their book.
Rootsilience takes the notion of "resilience" a step deeper and teaches us to be grounded, rooted, and able to respond to stressors from a place of stability rather than being stretched beyond our limits. We need to rise beyond resilience to Rootsilience.
Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience combines three key branches: conscious leadership, healing foods, and mind-body integration. The book highlights experiences from Rimi’s and Samantha’s lives, illustrating key lessons for women leaders. Check out their Rootsilience Leadership Map to recognize the connectedness of your leadership behavior and your emotional, physical, and mental signs of ease and dis-ease.
