"Learning to Listen" with Lara Penfold

Introducing Willow Nash to share a topic of conversation that many of us put off having! Willow's skills as an actor have transferred seamlessly in to her role as a Celebrant, and she shares her own passion and reasons why it is so important to share the amazing stories of the people's lives she celebrates. To recognise each chapter of our life and that our story doesn't end in the middle, everyone has a story and each is so important to hear and be told. When we pass, we live on in the connections we have made during our time here in the physical. "We influence the souls of the people we leave behind".

When it comes to the moment where we do lose a loved one, where do we even start to process that. Speaking with Nicola, who is a specialist in complex emotional needs, she talks about loss from both a professional and theoretical perspective, and on a personal level of losing a loved one. Nicola shares great insight of living alongside grief so that it doesn't colour everything in your life, 24 7. How trusting in the process, in your own time, will bring you a new perspective. As well as the realisation that we are dealing with loss on many levels, all the time. For further information about coaching with Lara, please see the website: www.creating-perspective.com

Welcoming Jan Sheward as our guest, the founder of the Cancer United Charity in West Sussex. Following Jan's own cancer journey, she created a support network for others going through cancer. That support has grown from peer-to-peer meetings, to incorporate a key element of fitness to enable recovery and putting health first. This has inspired the Cancer United community to thrive through exercise, having fun and social support and love for one another. Cancer United continues to grow and flourish with the great work from Jan and her team, by listening to, and meeting the needs of their members, sharing their knowledge and experience with others and collaborating with other charities. An inspiring conversation. Cancer is a tough road to walk, but it can also be a catalyst for change towards living a more fulfilling 'Life Beyond Cancer'.
