Today, Dawn is interviewing Blair Kaplan Venables, a grief and resilience expert, about her personal journey of overcoming multiple tragedies and building resilience. Blair shares her experiences of losing her father, mother-in-law, mother, and father-in-law in a short period, along with a miscarriage and her husband's health scare. Despite these challenges, Blair discusses her healing journey, including exploring alternative healing methods like plant medicine and witchcraft. She emphasizes the importance of building resilience through practices like gratitude and micro movements, highlighting the power of storytelling in the Global Resilience Project to empower others facing similar struggles. Blair's story serves as a testament to the strength and resilience that can be cultivated even in the face of profound loss and adversity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Setting aside time each day to list three things you are grateful for can rewire your brain to see the world in a more positive way.


Progress doesn't have to be drastic. Taking small steps, like getting off the couch or surviving another day, can lead to gradual improvement.


Everyone has a resilience muscle that can be strengthened through storytelling and sharing experiences of overcoming challenges.


Grief doesn't diminish, but life can be built around it. Layering life around grief and building a new life without the person or thing being grieved is a process that takes time.


Healing involves the mind, body, heart, and soul. It's about reconnecting with all aspects of oneself and working towards a sense of wholeness and liberation.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life is really short. We're not meant to just sit at our computer nine to five. We have this big, beautiful world out there, and if there are things you wanna do, go do it."

"I'm going to be doing that the rest of my life. I know that I've only just scratched the surface."

"I don't wanna live a life to retire from. I wanna live a life that I love and I'm gonna do till I die."
