Welcome to season 3 of RESILIENT PEOPLE
Hi everyone.
So glad that you stopped by to learn more about the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast!
Over the last couple of years I've had such interesting conversations with a variety of inspiring people who are admired for their resilience. No two stories have been the same.
I'm motivated by the determination, focus and strength of the human spirit. This podcast was just what I needed when my world was falling apart.
In 2016 my husband Adam was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and passed away just over three years later. He was only 51 years old.
Blogging and hosting the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast helped to get me through a very dark time. And the feedback that I've received from listeners and my community has been so positive.
This space became a space to not only inspire me but to motivate others to look at the relatable stories around them as a source of hope. The goal is to remind our community, "you are not alone."
Season 3 will bring you more of these stories, but as a midlife woman, I'm leaning into this chapter of my life with a new sense of wonder, learning and adventure.
I'm looking to speak with other midlife women who have found their calling, experiencing personal joy, changing things up and are inspiring others to do the same.
If you have a story of resilience to share or know someone who does, please write me: info@resilientpeople.ca

Rae Ann Gruver of The Max Gruver Foundation: using grief to be a fierce changer against hazingIn 2017, Max Gruver began as a freshman at Louisiana State University. He, along with his parents, was full of hope and excitement.
From Georgia, his parents heard about his first weeks away at school which included pledging at various fraternities. They never anticipated that on September 17th they would receive a call that would change their lives forever. Max had died at LSU from a hazing event held at Phi Delta Theta house. In her grief, Rae Ann Gruver new that something needed to change so that no one else would die the way that her son Max did. Her family created The Max Gruver Foundation to abolish hazing on campuses, to educate young people on the risks associated with it and to change laws state by state. I spoke with Rae Ann about this purpose, becoming a changer, and where her resilience comes from? |
