    Ep12: ‘When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.' A conversation about finding light following the recent events in Israel with Rabbi Yaakov Klein

    We have all been stunned, in light of the recent tragic events in Israel, by the barbaric brutality and extreme lack of humanity displayed by the Hamas terrorists. As our minds grapple to try to make sense of actions that are beyond human comprehension, it seems as if we have no words.Yet words are important to attempt to integrate what happened - and is still happening. Trauma is often a response to pushing away events as a protective mechanism, rather than integrating. We will address this ...

    Ep 10: "I don't want to be angry" - Forgiving parents after childhood traumas with Jasmine Hanson

    One of the early Resilience Files episodes featured the powerful story of Max Gleason.

At the time of that podcast, Max asked me if his girlfriend Jasmine – and now fiancé – could join our conversation, as she herself was on a profound healing journey having experienced intense turmoil, abuse, and negle...

    Ep 09: "I had this sense that I was going to be OK" - Overcoming MS with Linda Bloom

    Our guest today, Linda Bloom, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 28 and was told by the doctors to prepare for a debilitating life bound by care. However, as the defiant daughter of holocaust survivors, Linda could not accept that her situation was beyond help.

    Ep 08: 'Oli’s death could have been avoided' - A mother on a mission to prevent child suicide

    Michelle Leigh set up the Oli Leigh trust after she lost her beloved son Oli at 16 to suicide. The Oli Leigh trust is a suicide prevention and mental wellbeing trust, granting funds to small charities that can deliver suicide prevention and wellbeing training.​Michelle is open, and honest, and I would venture to say damning on her perspective of how the system failed Oli and played a part in his taking his life by suicide. Michelle is a force to be reckoned with and you will no doubt pick up ...

    Ep 06: “I was willing to fall in order to fly.” Overcoming the obstacles to become a Cirque du Soleil performer with Shellie Epstein

    My guest today is Shelli Epstein, author of Flying High: Life Lessons from the Big Top. Shelli went to see the Cirque du Soleil at London's Royal Albert Hall when she was just eleven years old.
