Episode notes

i feel like one of the hard parts of dealing with the things that you would need to be resilient about, whether it's illness or injury. Anything that is one of these really big, challenging things, we often don't address them. We're pretty much ithink covet has thought us that no one's immune to em you know, bad things happening. And so it is really important that we enter e a much more open dialogue about what that feels like and not brush our negative emotions aside but learn how to live in that uncomfortableness.

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.
