Giving resilience its real meaning - finding the positives in 'hell'. In this powerful episode of "Making Conversations Count" we're talking about what is the real meaning of the word 'resilience'.

Roger Cheetham, Making Conversations Count (November 2021)

Surviving the unsurvivable

As an unexpected wave of events, including traumatic experiences, strikes our lives, we are often left wondering how will I get through this.

How am I meant to cope?

Will it ever end?

Am I going to survive?

The process of surviving hell is not simply about repairing the damage caused by the trauma itself.

It also involves building resilience.

Finding deep within yourself that something which makes you able to move on with your life despite all odds.

What is resilience?

We can all think of resilience examples that we've witnessed in our lives, but as host Wendy Harris discovered, the one featured in this episode is next-level!

We can guarantee that you're going to be blown away.

It's really important that you listen, because once you have, you're going to feel extremely empowered.

A difficult conversation that counts

As you will now know if you've listened before, we like to hear the pivotal moment as a raw and real-time conversation, while recording it.

We didn't talk about Roger's life before we recorded yet Wendy says she can accept that she knew that his story was meant to be featured as its the very essence of the "Making Conversations Count" podcast's theme.

When there are no signs or indications that anything is wrong .

Roger takes us on the journey with him as he recounts not just one conversation that quite literally acted as a turning point in his life.
