"I tell stories about EXTRAordinary people who are admired for their resilience."
Hi! My name is Janet Fanaki.
I created RESILIENT PEOPLE out of a desire to inspire and it all started with my story of resilience.
Back in 2016, our family was hit with devastating news when my husband Adam was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. He was only 47 years old at the time. In February 2020, the world lost an amazing human when Adam passed away.
Over those three and a half years I spent a lot of time thinking about how others survive major challenges? I began blogging conversations with people who are admired for their ability to move on from major life challenges.
I'm not an expert, but I call myself a 'Resilience Explorer'. I'm tapping into the minds of people who persevere through adversity to see what makes them different.
My guests are regular people - anyone can relate to them and their stories. The goal is to inspire others to find their resilience - to show that it IS possible to bounce back from challenges.
I hope you love meeting these amazing people as much as I have loved talking with them.
