This week on Reset, we’re diving into one of the most human and most avoided experiences: grief.

I invite you to either take this episode on a nice walk outdoors or get cozy on the couch. It's full of all the feels.

Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or even a version of yourself, grief shows up in more ways than we realise.

In this honest and grounding conversation, I sit down with Psychologist Emma to explore:

• What grief actually is and how it impacts our minds and bodies

• The types of life events that can trigger grief (it's not just about death)

• What happens when we try to delay or suppress our emotions

• Whether grief ever truly "goes away"

• How to support a friend or partner who's grieving

• Why you don't need to process it perfectly

We also talk about how Emma protects her own wellbeing while helping others through their darkest days.

Welcome to the middle of 2025! This is a solo episode where you'll hear me being a fangirl over a framework that is based on 60 years worth of research into positive and strength based psychology.

We have 6 months left to make the most of 2025 and I think it's a beautiful opportunity for us all to be reflecting on our career, relationships and lives.

Reflecting on these things with our strengths in mind will give you greater clarity on how you can make the most impact and have the most fun in this lifetime.

What is this framework?

It started with a simple question…

Six decades ago, Psychologist, Don Clifton, noticed that all of the books published on psychology were focussed on what was wrong with people.

So he started asking “what would happen if we studied what was right with people?”

Fast forward to today and Don’s pioneering research into the world of positive and strengths psychology has been turned into a comprehensive online assessment tool called CliftonStrengths.

This online assessment has allowed over 34 million people to understand their unique talents and transform the way they approach their career, relationships and teams.

If you’re ready to discover your own unique talents and how leverage them to improve your personal and professional life - this workshop is for you.
