Toronto podcast host & Resilience Explorer Janet Fanaki launches season 2 of the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast

PRESS RELEASE
September 23, 2021

TORONTO, ON., September 23, 2021 -- “In season 1 we met so many regular people around the world who had overcome a major life challenge and found a purpose from it,” says Toronto resident Janet Fanaki. “Season 2 promises to bring more conversations that I hope will inspire listeners to find their own purpose in life and build resilience.”

Janet Fanaki started the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast after her 51 year-old husband Adam passed away of brain cancer in 2020. She believes that having a purpose can help anyone to overcome most challenges. It’s also a common theme with all of her guests on the podcast. 

This season, listeners will meet:

• Kyle White from Saskatoon who lost over 185 pounds during the pandemic and blogs about his healthy lifestyle journey. 
• Lindsay Walz, a Minneapolis woman who survived the catastrophic I-35W Mississippi bridge collapse that killed 13 and injured 145 others. Lindsay is now a youth worker who specializes in trauma.
• Tommy Caulfield and James Whittle, two men from the UK who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a row boat with no prior experience. They are now motivational speakers. 

Janet has been able to determine many common traits between her guests. Their lifestyle, social circles and purpose-driven life to name a few. She offers tips to build resilience thanks to the advice of her guests and experts. Each interview is unique, inspiring and relatable. 

“I’m doing this for the people who I met on my own journey who said that they could never do it,” says Janet Fanaki. “The truth is, you don’t know what you’re capable of doing until you HAVE to do it.”


Janet Fanaki is the creator of RESILIENT PEOPLE. The blog was established in 2018 and in late 2020 launched the podcast, available on all platforms. She has since presented to many organizations her findings on “the power of purpose” and the common traits of resilient people. She has been profiled in The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, USA Today and iHeart Radio. Janet lives in Toronto with her two children.
