CW: We do mention eating disorders on this episode What do solo adventurers teach us about resilience? Can we practise resilience to get us through the tough days and adversity we don't choose? Jenny Tough describes herself as an Adventurer, Storyteller, Mountain Lover. In this episode we talk about solo adventures, fear, depression, eating disorders and what resilience means to her. She is a writer and adventurer, and an enthusiast for all things endurance challenges, particularly in the mountains. Whether it be a race or a solo adventure, her desire to push her limits has led her to numerous corners of the world. In 2021 she completed a global challenge to run, solo and unsupported, across a mountain range on every continent, including three world-first traverses. She’s also competed in long-distance bike packing races, including becoming the two-time first woman in the Silk Road Mountain Race and first woman in the inaugural Atlas Mountain Race – considered two of the toughest off-road bike races. Outside of her personal pursuits, she has worked to get more people outside and challenging their own comfort zones, particularly women and girls, which she has championed by launching a book in 2020 called Tough Women: Adventure Stories. Her book Solo, out now, is her account of her mountain range project. In it she says “Did I solve all of life’s big questions on this project? No. Did I figure out a few? Actually, yes. Every adventure teaches me something. That’s the value of adventure.” Follow Jenny Tough here: @jennytough Buy her book here: Solo by Jenny Tough --- If you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including behind the scenes of the podcast, please consider subscribing to the Substack page - Find out more at https://jenscotney1.substack.com Resilience Rising Podcast is hosted by Jen Scotney @jenscotney Find us at: Instagram: @resiliencerisingpodcast Website: www.jenscotney.com

Content Warning - We discuss an abusive relationship in this episode. How do you come back from an abusive relationship, a court case with a famous popstar, and losing all your stock due to a shipping error? Karly has done all this in the last few years and tells us how she did it, and why letting go of shame, embarrassment and a fear of failure was key. Karly Arber is an entrepreneur, Holistic Health Coach, business coach and trustee of the charity Youth Realities. She is perhaps best known for her business Lenny London, a successful luxury activewear brand. With the success comes a story of resilience and empowerment. Karly endured a physically abusive relationship for 3.5 years and as a result suffered with severe health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and CFS. She ended up bed-bound and hit rock bottom. Eventually she was able to leave the relationship and embarked on the most life-changing journey, rebuilding her entire life.  In an extra story of resilience, she then had to deal with a court case with one of Britain's most famous popstars, the loss of around £30k worth of her products, and an ongoing fight with her shipping company. She’s come to talk about her journey, what she has learned, and what resilience means to her.

‘Healing is an ongoing process. That is how to start moving forward. It's not a case of getting a certificate, ticking a box, and saying that I'm healed. It's about accepting what has happened and allowing it to become part of who I am, without it defining who I am, leaving me frozen in time.’ Joe French - Out of Mind Joe French is a Film maker, Climber, Musician, Barefoot runner, and author. Combining his love of climbing, mountains and storytelling, Joe taught himself to become a climbing cameraman and started making films on the cliffs of Ben Nevis and beyond. This started a successful career in TV and Joe was soon working as a self-shooting Producer/Director on high profile productions, including recreating Sir Ernest Shackleton’s epic journey of survival in Antarctica. But Joe has experienced a great deal of trauma and tragedy whilst filming in the mountains. He has been lucky to survive on several occasions. In 2015, he was about to fulfil a dream of a lifetime – to climb Everest and film it, when tragedy struck and Joe found himself at the epicentre of an earthquake which killed nearly 9,000 people. Only a few years previously, his team of Sherpas had been killed in another avalanche, and soon after that, Julie, his wife, was diagnosed with cancer. His experience of Post-Traumatic Stress and the subsequent journeys of healing is the subject of his book Out of Mind, which is out now via Sandstone Press/Vertebrate Publishing. --- If you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including behind the scenes of the podcast, please consider subscribing to the Substack page - Find out more at https://jenscotney1.substack.com Resilience Rising Podcast is hosted by Jen Scotney @jenscotney Find us at: Instagram: @resiliencerisingpodcast Website: www.jenscotney.com Twitter: @ResilienceRPod Facebook: Resilience Rising Podcast Email: theresiliencerisingpodcast@gmail.com

How do we live with grief? Lizzie Pickering offers grief guidance and is a speaker, podcaster, author and film maker. Her book 'When Grief Equals Love' is out now. She offers guidance to private individuals and companies on the effects of grief, whether through bereavement, divorce, diagnosis or workplace change. She has 23 years of experience investigating responses to shock, trauma and grief, through her films, podcasts, and the years she spent as a carer to her terminally ill, eldest child, Harry. Subsequently through 12 years working at the children’s hospice where Harry died, she worked closely with the bereavement team on peer-to-peer support and had the privilege of hearing the stories of many bereaved parents and siblings. When Harry died in 2000, she set out on a journey to understand how she could survive her grief and learn to live with it. In her book, out now, When Grief Equals Love, she details the lessons she’s learned from her own experiences and those of others, who share their thoughts in this moving and powerful book. Lizzie opens her diaries, written in the early years after Harry’s death, revealing her observations on the grief of his siblings and family, what helped and what hurt. Revisiting those diaries, she reflects on time passing, and what has changed for her and her family since. Lizzie looks at the myth of closure, survivor’s energy and cumulative grief – when life experiences pile up and become too much to bear. In the book, she writes ‘it took a long time and much investigation into how to survive my own grief, and that is work in progress, but I hope that some of what I have learned so far might resonate’. --- You can find out more about Lizzie Pickering and her work Website: https://lizziepickering.com Instagram: @lizzie.pickering Twitter: @PickeringLizzie Buy her Book: When Grief Equals Love --- Resilience Rising Podcast is hosted by Jen Scotney @jenscotney Find us at: Substack: @jenscotney1 Instagram: @resiliencerisingpodcast Website: www.jenscotney.com Twitter: @ResilienceRPod Facebook: Resilience Rising Podcast Email: theresiliencerisingpodcast@gmail.com

"Stone by stone, seed by seed, they discover that sometimes life grows, not in spite of what is broken, but because of it." on All My Wild Mothers by Victoria Bennett On 19 October 2007, Victoria Bennett was looking forward to new motherhood. At seven months pregnant, she was excited about what was to come. But when the telephone rang, the news she received changed everything. Her eldest sister had died in a canoeing accident. Five years later, struggling with grief, the demands of being a parent-carer for her young son, and the impact of deeper austerity, life feels very different to the future she had imagined. A move to a new social housing estate in rural Cumbria offers Victoria and her family a chance to rebuild their lives. Constructed over an industrial site, at first the barren ground seems an unlikely place to sow the seeds of a new life.  She and her son set about transforming the rubble around them into a wild apothecary garden. Daisy, for resilience. Dandelion, for strength against adversity. Red campion, to ward off loneliness. Sow thistle, to lift melancholy. Borage, to bring hope in dark and difficult times. Stone by stone, seed by seed, they discover that sometimes life grows, not in spite of what is broken, but because of it. Victoria Bennett is a poet and author, her writing has previously received a Northern Debut Award, a Northern Promise Award, the Andrew Waterhouse Award, and has been longlisted for the Penguin WriteNow programme and the inaugural Nan Shepherd Prize for under-represented voices. She founded Wild Women Press in 1999 to support rural women writers in her community, and since 2018 has curated the global Wild Woman Web project, an inclusive online space focusing on nature, connection, and creativity. When not juggling writing, full-time care, and genetic illness, she can be found where the wild weeds grow. All My Wild Mothers is her debut memoir.  --- You can find out more about Victoria Bennett and her work here: Website: http://victoriabennett.me Substack: https://wildwomanlife.substack.com Instagram: @beewyld Twitter: @vikbeewyld Buy her Book: All My Wild Mothers --- Resilience Rising Podcast is hosted by Jen Scotney @jenscotney Find us at: Substack: @jenscotney1 Instagram: @resiliencerisingpodcast Website: www.jenscotney.com Twitter: @ResilienceRPod Facebook: Resilience Rising Podcast Email: theresiliencerisingpodcast@gmail.com

How does the idea of resilience being 'bouncing back stronger' fit to experiencing traumatic life events? What can resilience in grief look like? Kate Armstrong is an avid amateur mountaineer, skier and (sometimes ultra) runner. Over the past twenty years she’s climbed across the UK and Alps, and done two serious expeditions to the Himalaya. She’s a writer – her novel called The Storyteller was published in 2016 and longlisted for the Republic of Consciousness Prize for Small Presses. She’s recently finished a Creative Writing MFA. She says she used to believe wholeheartedly in motivational sayings like ‘if you try hard enough you can achieve anything’.
