Welcome to resilient people

continued from Welcome page

​To keep moving forward, I turned to blogging and eventually podcasting. I wanted to know what makes people resilient in the face of adversity? This became something that helped me build a positive circle around me while also inspiring others because I was interviewing regular everyday folks. 

My guests are authors, fundraisers, advocates, teachers, coaches, medical professionals and travel enthusiasts to name just a few. They all turned to a passion to help others after facing their own life-changing challenge.

Shortly after losing Adam, my father became seriously ill and needed my support til he passed away in 2023. That same year, my mom was diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma and died one year later.

And then in November 2024 the unimaginable happened when my daughter Isobel, who at only 25 years old, suddenly passed away from heart failure while working in Japan. Losing Isobel made me question everything and I've been taking the necessary time to process it all.

After facing so much loss and heartbreak over the last eight years, I've had to constantly draw on the tools that have helped me. I've learned that life is very unpredictable and sometimes extremely cruel - but it is possible to get through big challenges.

Creating RESILIENT PEOPLE has led me to public speaking, advocacy, consulting businesses and researchers as well as peer support. God knows that we all need likeminded people to walk alongside us. 

My message revolves around the power of finding purpose, tools for developing a strong mindset and the importance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people and developing good daily habits.

I hope that you'll give RESILIENT PEOPLE a listen and will feel inspired. To get started, go to my podcast page and please tell your community about it.
