"It is possible to live and grieve at the same time" Dr Lucy Hone on resilience, grieving and hope.
Dr Lucy Hone is a global leader in the field of resilience psychology, and spends her life helping people build resilience, cope with loss and navigate tough times. In this episode we talked about how to build resilience, how grief looks different for everyone and how it's important to focus on what's still good in your life when going through loss. She also had some amazing tips for coping with the general chaos of life which resonated with me. Ruthless prioritisation and making sure you're working with your own nature to be your most productive self. For more practical tools and strategies follow Dr Lucy on social media @drlucyhone.

Back to Basics with Sam Frost
Sam Frost has been a lot of things in her time. She's been (or still is) a reality television contestant, radio host, actress, author and mental health advocate. What I got from this chat though, is that her most important job to date has been mum to Ted. We chat through the self-work Sam did before having Ted, her anxiety about becoming a mum, what she does when she's feeling a bit overwhelmed by life (tip: put down your phone and go outside) and touch on what it's like to be in the public eye when the world turns on you. Sam is such a lovely, grounded person, and her family clearly are the most important thing in her life. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did! About the show: Life is fast.

Looking at the World Differently with Ethically Kate
Kate Hall aka Ethically Kate joins me this week to discuss how you can live more ethically, but without the stress we put on ourselves to be perfect. Kate and her husband live a unique life filled with quirky traditions and rituals which I love, so we dive into ways you can spice up the week and get out of ruts. My biggest take away was opening yourself up to those moments of joy, wherever and whenever they present themselves to you, with a particular focus on family and nature. Kate gives a fresh perspective on life and I loved getting to know her better. Hope you enjoy the chat! About the show: Life is fast. Information is overwhelming.

Trusting Your Truth with Cassandra Grodd
Cassandra Grodd is an author, an entrepreneur and a wellness advocate. It would be easy to typecast her, but everyone's journeys have twists, and Cassandra is no different. From a battling with an eating disorder as a teenager, and struggling to find confidence in herself, she's embraced the idea of fake it until you make it and designed a life so that she can be her best self. In this episode she talks about dedicating time to set up your day and bringing main character energy. I really appreciate how she trusts herself, and I hope you're as inspired by this conversation as I was! About the show: Life is fast. Information is overwhelming.
