Finding Resilience: Robin Roberts and Sheryl Sandberg Life After Suicide

    • Mental Health

As a cancer survivor, Robin Roberts, anchor of Good Morning America, learned how to publicly embrace her vulnerabilities and support from others. Re-framing grief as a means towards healing allowed her to regain her strength, which she hopes inspires others to do the same. Similarly, after her husband and father of their two young children died suddenly, Sheryl Sandberg, chief Operating Officer of Facebook, learned to persevere in the face of loss, and uses her public platform to help others do the same. In this week’s episode, Dr. Jennifer Ashton sits down with these two powerful women to discuss turning painful experiences into an opportunity for personal growth and positive influence. We'd love your feedback. Please contact Dr. Ashton on Twitter or Instagram @DrJAshton.
