How We Live Now with Katherine May

Remona Aly on breaking an engagement, and the transformative force of grief


Listen Later

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.


While we take a rest over the summer, we’re sharing some remastered episodes from Season One, chosen by listeners.


In this episode, I speak to journalist and broadcaster Remona Aly about her life-changing decision to call off an engagement, and how it echoed through the years to teach her about forgiveness, faith and empathy.


This is such a special one for me - I went to school with Remona, and I think you can hear our joy at reconnecting after a couple of decades, and feeling so at home in the process. We cover all of human life here: buckle in.


We talked about:

  • Finding the sacred in everyday life
  • How grief changes you
  • The need for community
  • Breaking off an engagement and family shame
