In this episode of The Courage to Continue, Nina sits down with David Cutler from LJ Hooker Corporate for a deeply personal and powerful conversation. David shares the story of losing his dad at a pivotal age, after his father took his own life, and reflects on what it was like navigating grief so young.

Together, they explore the impact this loss had on his family, particularly his mum, and how those early experiences shaped David into the man he is today, both as a father and as a leader.

This conversation is honest, raw, and incredibly moving. It speaks to the lasting influence of loss, the resilience we build through life’s hardest moments, and the way those experiences shape how we show up for others.
