Have you ever wondered what makes people resilient?
My name is Janet Fanaki and I'm the creator of RESILIENT PEOPLE.
As a former public relations manager, I'm used to asking a lot of questions. Around 2016, I started asking, "what makes people resilient?"
It was September 1, 2016 when my husband Adam was diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer called glioblastoma and we found ourselves spending many hours at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre in Toronto.
One day, while sitting in the waiting area, I wondered what kept the cancer patients and their caregivers going? And then I thought about people in my own life who have moved beyond different hardships. I wanted to dig into their stories and share them with others who needed inspiration.
I created a blog which turned into a podcast called RESILIENT PEOPLE. My guests have shared stories from the Holocaust, divorce, near fatal accidents and health scares. Their stories have been very motivating.
Since losing Adam in 2020, I've also suffered the loss of my parents and then the sudden tragic passing of my beautiful 25 year old daughter Isobel in November 2024. Season 5 of the podcast focuses on life after loss and features stories of hope and positivity. Each conversation tackles the question, "How can we build resilience?"
Have a listen on Apple, Spotify and share with others along with giving it a 5-star review. Learn more below, and to be considered as a guest on the show, please go to this link.
