Thrive with ‘DrD‪’‬ JacPod

Through this time of uncertainty and unpredictability there has been a priority shift and re-evaluation of new direction. How do you navigate life’s challenges.
Move from anxiety to action; from procrastinating to progress; from fear of failure to taking risks; from blaming others to self-responsibility; from criticism to kindness and from self-doubt to self-esteem.
Join ‘DrD’ in conversation with Arni Witkin as they discuss his book ‘It’s not a Big Thing in Life”, on Thrive with ‘DrD’.

2020 has been a year filled with personal, relationship, family, business and global challenges. We have experienced uncertainty, lack of predictability, loss of jobs, money, physical contact and huge mental health issues. How do we not let suffering go to waste? Are there lessons that can be learned and sustained to improve our present and our future?
What can we take into 2021 that will generate new possibilities and greater fulfillment?

In this podcast, the final one for 2020, ‘DrD’ discusses:
• Priority Shift
• Gratitude
• Resilience
• The healing power of support
• Balance between taking control and trusting the process
• Being a more integrated member of the human race
• Self-compassion and kindness

Make the rest of your life the best of your life on Thrive with ‘DrD’. Happy Holidays and happy 2021!

Join ‘DrD’ in conversation with John Edmonson, CEO of Life Works Foundation in Texax, about the art of forgiveness. Here's a short segment of the podcast.

Have you ever been stuck in a moment that you cannot forget or move on from? In this week's Thrive with 'DrD' podcast, we explore forgiveness and reconciliation. "People think forgiveness is redeeming other people's behaviour. That's not the case at all. What's wrong is wrong. But, we want to be free [which is where forgiveness comes in]," says our guest, John Edmonson.

We explore:
* Why forgiveness is necessary
* If reconciliation is always possible
* How to deal with betrayal and pain
* We look at the unresolved conflict that can be passed on through generations

In this week's podcast, we meet Istanbul-based Şule Kutlay Gandur - an international leadership coach, TEDx Speaker and resilience expert. She and 'DrD' unpack and discuss resilience and how to develop it.
They examine:
• Why resilience is so fundamental to our lives, especially during challenging times?
• They look at whether we are born with resilience or if it can be developed
• How resilience manifests in our lives
• If it's possible to engender resilience in our children
