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 parents and then the sudden passing of my beautiful 25 year old daughter Isobel towards the end of 2024. Her passing has been nothing short of devastating and life-altering.

I began blogging and podcasting to inspire others to move forward from their life challenges by sharing conversations with regular people who are inspiring. My layered grief led me to revamp the podcast to specifically help those who are struggling with the passing of a loved one and answer the question,
"How do we build resilience?" 

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. Akin to a peer network. Particularly grief which is complicated, never ending and holds people who really need a community of understanding.
