Listen Later

How do you live well when life falls apart? Suleika Jaouad has a powerful answer. In this deeply moving episode of Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel sits down with Suleika Jaouad, bestselling author, speaker, and cancer survivor, to uncover what it truly means to live well in the face of uncertainty. From her fight with leukemia to her remarkable creative journey, Suleika has learned to turn adversity into art, and pain into purpose.

Her latest work, The Book of Alchemy, is a soulful invitation to embrace creative practices that help build resilience, joy, and connection, even in our darkest moments. Jessi and Suleika dive into topics that challenge conventional ideas of success and encourage listeners to live more intentionally. 

They discuss:

  • Why curiosity and play can be powerful daily rituals

  • How a 100-day journaling challenge sparked a creative breakthrough

  • What it means to redefine productivity through values like kindness and bravery

  • The healing power of deep friendships and chosen family

  • How creativity helps us process adversity and transform it
