What does it really mean to be resourceful, not just in moments of crisis, but in everyday life, parenting, and reinvention?

In this heartfelt and deeply human conversation, Roxanne and Jo are joined by Ulvi, a former diplomat, community builder, mother of twins, and passionate advocate for learning, service, and resilience. Ulvi shares her remarkable journey from diplomacy to community leadership, exploring how curiosity, stamina, and a willingness to “do what you have to do” can open doors, even when life looks uncertain.

Together, they reflect on parenting across cultures, the power of community, the transformative impact of parenting courses, and what it truly means to keep going one step at a time. From fundraising for schools to redefining career paths later in life, this episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical insight.

A powerful reminder that resourcefulness isn’t about having endless energy, it’s about using what you have, giving in small drops, and staying connected to humanity, purpose, and self-belief.

Tune in and enjoy!
