Have you ever wondered what makes people resilient?
My name is Janet Fanaki and I'm the creator of RESILIENT PEOPLE.
I'm very curious about the daily habits, community, lifestyle and overall mindset of people who are positive, inspirational and considered to be resilient.
Between 2016 - 2019 I was spending a lot of time in a Cancer centre when my husband was being treated for Glioblastoma, a terminal form a brain cancer. To help to build my own resilience, I gathered a positive circle of support around me, tap into their wisdom and build a strong mindset. This led to starting a blog and then the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast to share stories of resilience and inspire others.
Since losing Adam in 2020, I've also suffered the loss of my 25 year old daughter in November 2024 which was preceded by the passing of my parents. Losing four loved ones in 5 years has been a lot to process and layered grief has led me to revamp the podcast to inspire others to live life after loss.
These last few years for me and my son have been brutal, but also haven't stopped us from moving forward. The big question that I want to explore is, "How do we build resilience?" It's easy to tell someone to, "Be strong" or "Be positive" but a completely different thing to figure out how to do it.
The community and friendships that were formed with RESILIENT PEOPLE have not only helped me but many others who needed to connect with someone who really understands what they are going through. Particularly grief which is complicated and seemingly never ending.
