Episode notes

I didn't actually have to take myself off inste graham. I just took it off my phone. So if i really want to go and look at inste grahmat, if i want to post something, i still can use my laptop but it to be much more determined and intentional. When oos was ci, we were told we were prime candidates for divorce, mental illness and family estrangement. And i was like, wal, seriously? Thanks for that. You know, life was already pretty gloomy and dim.

Life can throw curveballs that you feel wholly unprepared for-- just ask Dr. Lucy Hone, a resilience researcher, who tragically lost her 12-year-old daughter in a road accident. While all of us may experience tragedy in our lives, not everyone knows how to manage it. In this episode, Dr. Hone shares the strategies that got her through unimaginable adversity and—in doing so—helped her find meaning through loss. Co-director of the New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing & Resilience, Hone's research is published internationally and her PhD was acknowledged for its outstanding contribution to wellbeing science at the World Congress of Positive Psychology in 2019. Her grief work now encompasses the best-selling book, Resilient Grieving, alongside other engaging online content. Hone's work has been featured in several documentaries by the BBC, Swedish Television, The Bolt Report Australia and TVNZ.
