ABOUT RESILIENT PEOPLE
Welcome to RESILIENT PEOPLE. I'm so happy that you stopped by.
My name is Janet Fanaki and I am a 3x care partner, widow and Resilience Explorer.
What's a Resilience Explorer? Well, since I'm not a clinical researcher or psychologist - but I am someone who is keenly interested in what makes people resilient - I came up with this self-described title to bring together who I am.
RESILIENT PEOPLE has become a way for me to connect with regular people from around the world who are admired for their positive mindset. My podcast guests have faced a major life challenge, found a purpose from it and now help others to be resilient too.
Having a daily purpose is the common element to all who I chat with because having something positive that you do everyday shifts your focus, makes you feel good and gives a sense of accomplishment.
I found my own purpose by starting a podcast as well as a fundraising campaign called The Adam Fanaki Brain Fund after my husband died of a terminal brain tumour. This led to other opportunities that I couldn't have imagined like becoming a public speaker, a caregiver experience advisor, and from time to time a trusted confidante to others caring for a brain tumour patient.
If you have lived through a major life challenge, I encourage you to find your purpose from it.
Season 4 of the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast will have many more fantastic conversations that will inspire you. I hope that you will like, follow and share the show with your community.
And if you have a story of resilience - and would like to be on the podcast - go to the Contact page and tell me a bit about yourself.
Looking forward to having you along.
Sincerely,

Kelli Gastis is a wife, mother, former dancer and can now add best-selling author to her list of achievements.
Her book, Fabulous In flats, is about the journey that Multiple Sclerosis has taken her on and how she has maintained a resilient mindset through the challenges. We spoke about her mother, a busy professional, being a big influence on her life. This is the example that Kelli is determined to be for her family, despite the setbacks that MS can deliver. She doesn't want to let her condition get in the way of living a fulfilling life. Her book offers up inspiration and humour. |
