Resilience Expert Dr Lucy Hone on Navigating Life After Her Own Loss

Head Game

Dr Lucy Hone's career path as a Resilience Expert became incredibly useful in the aftermath of the earthquake which devastated her city of Christchurch, New Zealand in 2011. She was able to support her community and help them rebuild their mental health and wellbeing - putting her research and studies into action. She believed this was her true test.

But Lucy was forced again to call on her knowledge when she experienced heartbreaking loss in 2014 - the passing of her young daughter, Abi. Abi was killed in a car accident, leaving Lucy to not only navigate her own journey with grief, but hold her family together.

In this episode, Lucy shares how she coped, and now dedicates her life to helping others facing the same battle.
