Resilience, Joy, and the Power of Choice: A Conversation with Valorie Burton, MCC
In this deeply personal and inspiring conversation, host Lyssa deHart sits down with internationally bestselling author and Master Certified Coach Valorie Burton, MCC to explore the transformative power of resilience, self-compassion, and intentional choice. With 14 books translated into 10 languages and a coaching legacy that spans the globe, Valorie brings both heart and science to this powerful episode of The Coaching Studio.

Valorie shares her own path to discovering coaching, how a life-changing moment in a Seattle bookstore sparked her purpose, and the surprising way her journalism career led her to Thomas Leonard and the coaching world. She opens up about navigating personal challenges—including divorce and redefining her vision for life—by applying the very tools she now teaches. Listeners will learn how coaching became her lifeline and how her background in positive psychology and resilience research informs her coaching philosophy today.

We dive into Valorie’s latest book, Rules of Resilience, including standout rules like “Close Your Energy Gap” and “Rally Your Resources.” She speaks candidly about the myth of perfection, the quiet epidemic of loneliness, and the power of choosing joy—even before circumstances align. With heartfelt stories about her family, her work, and her own inner journey, Valorie reminds us that resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about showing up with self-compassion, clarity, and courage.
