Unbreakable Hope with Jessica-Rose

S3E9 Running Toward a New Beginning with Pau Romaguera Llacer

In this episode of Unbreakable Hope, I'm joined by Pau Romaguera Llacer, who found her way into running while navigating the heartbreaking loss of her mom. What started as a way to cope with grief became something much bigge; A journey that transformed her life, her mindset, and the way she sees herself. Today, Pau is training for her second full Ironman while balancing a full-time career as a Program Manager at 601 Analytics, a Miami Heat company.

We talk about grief, finding strength through difficult seasons, setting boundaries, and having the courage to pursue dreams even when life takes an unexpected turn.  Pau's story is a reminder that moving forward doesn't mean forgetting where we've been. Sometimes, it means finding a new purpose, believing in ourselves, and taking that next step even when it's hard.

Because every new beginning starts somewhere.

What does it look like to keep moving forward when life changes forever?

In this heartfelt episode of Unbreakable Hope, I sat down with Lisa Marshall—a widowed mum of three, dentist, author, and mental health advocate who lost her husband to suicide in 2023.

Some seasons of life ask us to rebuild without knowing what comes next.

In this episode of Unbreakable Hope, I’m joined by Matt White for an honest conversation about chronic pain, uncertainty, resilience, and finding the courage to keep moving forward. Matt has lived with severe chronic pain since he was 13 and later represented Great Britain in paraclimbing. Today, new nerve damage and foot drop have brought another layer of uncertainty to his journey.

What stayed with me most is Matt’s perspective on hope: You don’t have to pretend everything will be okay to choose hope.

In this powerful episode of Unbreakable Hope, I sit down with Reshma Kearney — trauma-informed yoga teacher, grief guide, speaker, mental health advocate, survivor of suicide loss, and solo mom of three.

Reshma knows the journey of grief not only through her work, but through lived experience. As she navigates life after loss while raising grieving children, she has learned that healing isn't about forgetting, moving on, or having all the answers. Sometimes, healing begins with learning to listen to your body, honor your heart, and trust yourself again.

Her story is a reminder that even in the middle of unimaginable loss, there can still be moments of connection, healing, and hope.
