    Turning Grief Into Change After Grace’s Tinder Murder with Gillian Millane OBE on The Resilience Project podcast, hosted by Wes Linden

    In this deeply moving episode of The Resilience Project, Wes Linden speaks with Gillian Millane OBE, a mother, campaigner, and extraordinary woman whose life was torn apart when her daughter Grace never came home. In December 2018, Grace Millane, a bright and adventurous 22-year-old, was murdered while travelling in New Zealand by a man she met on Tinder. The case shocked the world and exposed deeply uncomfortable truths about violence against women and the narratives too often used to excuse it. Rather than allowing grief to consume her, Gillian chose to turn devastating loss into purpose. Her victim impact statement was seen across the world. She went on to campaign tirelessly to help end the so-called 'rough sex' defence in UK courts, contributing to landmark legal change. Alongside Grace’s cousin Hannah, she co-founded Love Grace, a charity that has now supported tens of thousands of women escaping abuse across multiple countries. Gillian also reflects on losing her husband David, receiving an OBE from Prince William, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and trekking to Everest Base Camp, and what resilience truly means when life delivers its harshest blows. An amazing way to start Season 2, this is a powerful conversation about grief, justice, kindness, courage, and what it really takes to keep going. 🔗 Useful Links Love Grace Charity: ⁠https://www.lovegrace.co.uk⁠ Support the Love Grace appeal: ⁠https://www.lovegrace.co.uk/donate⁠ Follow Wes on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/weslinden⁠ Follow Wes on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/weslinden⁠ Never miss an episode: ⁠https://www.weslinden.com/podcast⁠ ⏱️ Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome to The Resilience Project02:49 Who Grace was and why she was so special03:50 Favourite childhood memories of Grace04:53 Learning of Grace’s disappearance and what followed07:04 Delivering the victim impact statement08:21 Campaigning to change the “rough sex” defence10:50 Losing her husband David and navigating compounded grief13:14 You cannot change circumstances, only how you respond15:08 The power of family, friendship and global support16:55 Why the world is not as dark as social media suggests18:15 The global impact of Grace’s story and the vigils19:47 Founding the Love Grace charity with Hannah22:38 The growing reach and impact of Love Grace23:52 Future plans for the charity25:08 How listeners can support Love Grace26:59 Receiving an OBE from Prince William27:48 Climbing Kilimanjaro29:38 What the mountains taught about resilience31:56 One foot in front of the other32:47 Turning grief into action and rebuilding purpose34:55 Balancing self-care with honouring Grace36:10 How physical training supports mental health37:13 Advice for those feeling overwhelmed37:30 Mindsets that keep you moving forward39:57 How Grace should be remembered41:11 Choosing kindness in everyday life43:16 The meaning behind the climbs and fundraising44:29 The difference each of us can make45:51 Advice for anyone who feels stuck47:14 What resilience truly means47:49 Final reflections48:38 Closing

    There was a time when the England men’s football team were the pride of the country! Sir Geoff Hurst was a huge part of that! His resilience story has so many layers… *After his playing career was over you may not know he became Chelsea manager for two years. When he left, he became a door-to-door salesman, much to the surprise of his prospective customers.  *He was forced to claim unemployment benefits and queue up with people who had idolised him a few years earlier, to support his family.  *He scored the hat-trick for England when they won the World Cup in 1966, beating West Germany 4-2. In this episode of The Resilience Project, host Wes Linden chats with Sir Geoff to learn key life lessons, including the mindset you need to be a true winner. Packed full of inspiration and resilience lessons on how to overcome anything, beat disappointments, bounce back stronger, remain humble and build a life of meaning. 00:00 Intro 02:48 How much do you remember about what was going through your head during the game? 03:50 Everyone remembers where they were when it happened!  04:28 Help us understand the preparation of a winner.  05:35 Importance of teamwork. 06:07 At the start of the 1966 World Cup, you weren't first choice - how did you have the mindset that you could get into the team, or had you resigned yourself to being on the sidelines? 08:20 Focusing on your own progress, rather than being distracted by others. 09:31 Remaining calm under pressure. What can people learn from that for their own lives and career? 10:23 You were originally not totally focussed on football career? 12:05 It's stereotypical to talk about 1966 World Cup Final but you had an amazing career outside of that. Do you ever feel like your whole life achievements are overshadowed by one moment? 12:51 Is your life defined by one moment?  14:19 Imposter syndrome. 15:40 The day after the World Cup Final! 16:48 Jimmy Greaves feeling like the loneliest person in Wembley Stadium that day, and couldn't bring himself to join the celebrations. How did how did you feel about that? Did you speak to him about it? 19:25 Would you have felt the same? 20:35 Chelsea manager to door-to-door insurance salesman. What mindset and resilience helped you to adjust to being in the ‘real’ world. 22:37 Your dedication. 24:31 Break 24:45 Overcoming rejection and then still getting up the next day. 26:54 Failure and success.  26:59 Leadership traits. 28:37 Staying on the right path, and avoiding destructive habits like other celebrities and sportsman can fall into. 30:08 The greatest mentor. 31:49 Being knighted to become Sir Geoff. How did that feel? 33:12 Being unfazed by celebrities and royalty. 33:42 Staying grounded and dealing with fame and public attention. 34:59 Losing your brother to suicide and dealing with mental health challenges. 36:20 Further family grief and being the last surviving member of the England team. How do you keep yourself so positive? 38:25 So what advice would you give to youngsters that are watching this who want to be the best in their space, whether that's sports or business or any other avenue? 39:00 How would you define resilience? 41:07 What message would you hope that people take away from your experiences and your journey? 43:18 100 years’ time from now, how would you like history and people to describe Sir Geoff Hurst, the man, and his approach to life? 44:11 And finally - was it over the line?! 45:22 Do you ever wake up in a cold sweat about the fact, that the referee and linesman decided it didn't go over the line?! 46:35 They think it’s all over… it is now!

    Shot, depressed & delivering pizza; Brad Burton's mindset shift to become top entrepreneur (Ep 005)

    From delivering pizzas aged 31 to becoming one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, Brad Burton has an extraordinary story, that not even he can believe! Having grown up in a rough council estate, Brad was shot at twice and had to relocate his life overnight to the other side of the country. In debt and claiming benefits, he decided enough was enough. He went from delivering pizzas in an old car, barely making the minimum wage - to running a business that was turning over more than two million pounds, as well as become an inspirational speaker and an author of four best-selling books including 'Get Off Your Arse' and 'Now What?' Brad’s extraordinary story is full of wisdom, that you can only learn from having been through the trials and tribulations yourself, and success stories you won’t ever hear from a ‘guru’ selling an expensive course (who have generally never actually built a solid business themselves!) - in fact, I’d go as far as to say, you’ll get all the wisdom you will need to help you unlock your struggles and start taking action by listening this podcast. In this episode of The Resilience Project, host Wes Linden looks to uncover the mindset and resilience principles that took Brad from a life destined for prison, to now being able to live a lifestyle he could only ever dream of, for him and his family. 00:00 Intro 01:25 How did you get from pizza delivery to where you are now? 02:33 At what point did you know you had to change? 03:19 Would you have ended up in prison? 03:44 How did you get out of your situation? 05:39 People will relate even if they haven’t had bullets through the window! 07:38 So how did you go from pizza guy to business owner? 09:26 Resilience & tough times. 10:18 Desperate for instant success. 13:42 Irritating ‘gurus’ selling courses. 16:47 Making choices. 17:28 People kidding themselves. 21:00 How close can a goal be even if it seems far away? 22:55 So you were delivering pizzas in your early thirties. How did your business come from there? 27:55 Not focusing on negativity. 28:46 Imposter syndrome. 29:43 4N 31:03 Importance of building relationships. 33:35 People judging you on how you dress. 36:18 Break 36:31 Is news and social media stealing hope and belief from people? 38:43 Avoiding the news. 39:40 4N was a big thing. 41:40 What's the difference between burnout & breakdown? 43:04 Enthusiasm. 47:34 Success & failure. 49:48 How to stop yourself and others quitting. 53:44 Reaction to success. 56:05 You selling your business. 01:03:48 The Lurpak! 01:07:01 Control the controlables. 01:10:33 What would you say to people about keeping going? 01:12:32 How will people remember Brad Burton? 01:13:10 How do people get through not feeling like they’re enough? 01:14:04 Closing Follow me: https://beacons.ai/theresilienceproject Brad’s books on Amazon (UK): https://t.ly/h8KyK Brad on social: https://www.instagram.com/bradburton Wes on social: https://www.instagram.com/weslinden   https://www.linkedin.com/in/weslinden   Never miss an episode: https://www.weslinden.com/podcast
