RESILIENT PEOPLE

For this episode of RESILIENT PEOPLE, I'm taking you on a walk. It's a Sunday in late July and I'm looking forward to a day of doing nothing. When was the last time you can say that you did that too? Maybe laying on a lounge chair til you fall asleep with the sun warming your face. Or taking a long leisurely walk through a neighbourhood, grabbing a drink and browsing around local shops. How do you spend your time doing nothing? Turns out that its scientifically proven that relaxing promotes a clearer mind for dealing with adversity. Call it preparing for the unknown.But it can be difficult to find long stretches of time to unwind. Particularly when you're caring for someone who health complications or working in a stressful job. With that said, it's still important to regularly find even smaller amounts of time to rest and, if possible, do literally nothing. This episode is a short one but hopefully it will give you some motivation to find that kind of time.   Topics included:the joy of doing nothingself carecaregivingstress managementspousal lossparental losschild lossbuilding resilienceTo learn more about RESILIENT PEOPLE, go to www.resilientpeople.caTheme song is Day Ones by Kyler Slater. Follow Janet Fanaki on social media: Instagram and LinkedIn

Thirty years ago, Beverley Burke lost her husband Kevin. She is the mom to a dear friend of mine, but as a fellow widow, she's also become my coach and a close friend. We spoke about her memories of being a young widow, advice for grievers to get back to living their lives and gushed over our mutual admiration for one another. Just the kind of relationship that every widow or widower needs.  In this episode, I share my friendship and the inspiration that Beverley Burke has brought to my life. Every widow or widower should know someone like her who has not only experienced the passing of a spouse but who has also continued to build a happy and fulfilling life on their own. We all need to know inspiring people like her who can help us to move forward.  Topics included in this episode include:spousal lossgriefsetting healthy boundariessingle lifeTo learn more about Janet and RESILIENT PEOPLE, go to www.resilientpeople.caBeverley Burke is not on social media but if you'd like to share your thoughts with her, please email Janet at info@resilientpeople.caTheme song is Day Ones by Kyler Slater. Follow Janet Fanaki on her social media channels: Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn 

Music can be one of the most healing things when you're going through a challenge.It is effective for managing stress and helping us to let go.Bruce Springsteen once said, "The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with". I can personally say that my music has been helping me face the world over and over again. This episode of RESILIENT PEOPLE covers the important place that music has had in my life. From singing to going to concerts, there's a renewing energy that comes from it. And I believe that any music can help to build our resilience, especially when we are faced with challenges. From the many grief experiences that I've had with the loss of my parents, husband and daughter, music has always offered the hug that I so desperately needed.  This episode covers:spousal losschild lossparental lossgrief supportmusic as therapy and motivatorbuilding resiliencecommon traits of resilient peoplea quote from Bruce Springsteenmy night at the Boyz II Men concertmy theme song, Day Ones, by Kyler SlaterRESILIENT tshirtsTo learn more visit RESILIENT PEOPLEBuy a RESILIENT t-shirtOn social media, Instagram and LinkedIn

This episode is changing the nature of the podcast a bit. After suffering a devastating loss this past fall, with the death of my 25 year old daughter Isobel, I began to rethink what’s important to me and how I view a resilient mindset. I feel like learning to really embrace the in between moments in life is key to rebuilding ourselves.So I’ll be dedicating this season to sharing takeaways that worked for me and hopefully give you some useful food for thought. RESILIENT PEOPLE is a podcast and digital space created by Janet Fanaki. She is a public speaker, patient and care partner engagement consultant and podcaster.Having grieved the care and passing of her husband Adam to glioblastoma, her mom and dad to declining health and most recently the sudden death of her 25 year old daughter, Janet has embraced living life in the “in-between moments”.To learn more about her visit www.resilientpeople.ca andInstagram @janetfanakiofficial

Tara MacIntosh had just discovered that she was pregnant with twins when, only hours later, her husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer. It was during the pandemic and a very stressful time to be a patient or caregiver receiving any medical intervention. As her belly grew, Tara supported Gregor for all of his needs and was learning on the fly how to be a caregiver. She quickly learned the toughness that it takes to care for a loved one as well as the comfort that was missing for many who are in this role. Gregor passed away in December 2021. To give herself something positive to focus on she created Gregor's Gift to help the caregivers in her community of London, Ontario. The charity has provided them with comfort kits while at St. Joseph's Hospice and Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice as well as respite treatments like facials. We spoke about: her husband's Esophageal cancer journeythe challenges of caregivingthe importance of caring for caregiversbuilding resilience and finding purposethe purpose she found in creating Gregor's Gifther passions including writingfinding gratitude during tough timespositive choices to start and end the day (bookending)

Nathan and Dana Schmidt of the Mountain Seed Foundation are my guests on this episode of the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast. Mountain Seed Foundation helps build resilience in children and families impacted by war with some of their biggest work being done in Ukraine. Nathan is a former Marine who completed three tours in the Iraq war. He and Dana met there when she went as part of the Foreign Service. Both are very open about the effects that war has on individuals and their families. Nathan spoke about openly about his post-traumatic stress disorder and his transparency on needing to talk about it with others and get help. Dana honestly spoke about the challenges it presented to their marriage and the tools - as well as people - that helped them. Mountain Seed Foundation offers children impacted by war the opportunity to learn climbing to help overcome their fears while also offering the mothers of these children therapy in various forms and the opportunity to build a peer-to-peer community. Learning to climb helped Nathan to battle the demons he lived with after Iraq and he instinctively knew that it could do the same for others impacted by war. We spoke about:helping those suffering from PTSD finding love in unlikely placesthe Russian invasion on Ukrainemental health awarenessthe value of professional therapy finding simple joys in lifemountain climbing for building a resilient mindsetTo learn more about Mountain Seed Foundation, visit this link. If you consider yourself to be resilient, or know someone who you admire for their resilience, please share your story with me.

This episode is a response to a Twitter post that I recently made that garnered a bit of attention. I was remarking on how I, as a widow, was starting to include a friend who recently lost her husband in my social plans. Inviting her to play tennis, hang out and go out for dinner.So many people replied with their own stories of living with grief and the alienation they encountered while others wrote about the ways in which they had included a griever in their vacations, dinners and making plans together.The grievers had remarked on the typical "outreach" comments that they would hear as a way for others to feel as though they were helping. These are touched-on as well as examples of how they also felt acknowledged, loved and seen which allowed them to make steps to move forward from their loss.The RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast is hosted by Janet Fanaki.

Back in 2019 I spoke with a woman by the name of Dawn Custode. She loved to sail, travel, spend time helping the causes that she held dear and having fun with loved ones. At the time, Dawn was dying of colon cancer, a disease that she had lived with for two and a half years. She was spending her remaining days imparting her wisdom on life for the living. And she had some terrific advice. Our talk came at a time when my own husband was living with terminal brain cancer called glioblastoma. RESILIENT PEOPLE is hosted by Janet Fanaki and features conversations with EXTRAordinary people from around the world who are admired for their resilience.

Bonjour and welcome to RESILIENT PEOPLE. My guest on this episode is Katie Clark - an American in Paris.Katie is 42 years old and originally from Utah. She got married very young, had three children pretty quickly and for the last 16 years has practiced as an emergency room nurse.Like many married couples, she and her husband were going through the motions of life and marriage. Focused on raising children and busy with their careers. As she was approaching her midlife years, Katie felt unhappy with the status quo and looked for ways to make a change. After years of soul searching and discussions with her husband, she filed for divorce earlier this year and months later bought a one-way ticket to Paris.It may not be the part about moving to France that resonates with many, but surely there are many midlife women who question the state of their marriage by the time their children are grown. They wonder, "Is this it?" Katie decided that she wanted more out of life.And so the theme of this episode is all about prioritizing ourselves. To not feel guilty about putting ourselves first, rediscovering who we are and how Katie Clark is doing that in Paris. We spoke about the importance for midlife women to not give up on their dreams, finding joy again, our love of singing, learning to be your own best friend and getting comfortable with being alone and on their own. Katie Clark is a travel blogger living in Paris.
