Need some guidance on strengthening your resiliency levels? How about from some one who has survived 15 years in prison and gone on to teach entrepreneurship all over the world? Trust me, a dose of David Thigpen is what we all need :)

If you'd like to explore this crucial skill of resiliency with a child in your life, here are some books that I've found, through my work in Ani's World (www.anis-world.com) are beautifully written, inclusive and child-friendly (you'll be surprised by how many books are actually NOT child-friendly!)

In English:
Look Up! - Nathan Bryon
My shadow is Pink - Scott Stuart

In Dutch:
Mijn schaduw is Roze - Scott Stuart
SuperTess - Bianca Antonissen
Bommetje - Sascha Cotter

David Thigpen - Living Resiliently

We all fail - but how do we get comfortable with that fact, and teach the next generation that it's a natural part of life? In this episode we cover one of the most vulnerable topics, and our guest Sjoukje Kerman uses her natural creativity and storytelling abilities to take us on a journey that we'll all relate to, and learn from.

If you'd like to explore how to fail beautifully with a child in your life, here are some books that I think are a great place to start:

In English:
Rosie Revere, Engineer - Andrea Beaty & David Roberts
The Thing Lou Couldn't Do -  Ashley Spires

In Dutch:
Roza Rozeur, Ingenieur – Andrea Beaty & David Roberts
Alles over piekeren en bang zijn - Felicity Brooks

Sjoukje Kerman  - Failing Beautifully

In this extremely moving and vulnerable conversation, I speak to the wonderful Cat Rose-Tran about her breast cancer diagnosis, and how the experience has led her to what she is doing today. We cover topics like fear, control, and ultimately what she has found is most important in life.

Warning: This may be triggering for some.

Thank you to @anouksnellerphotography for the beautiful photo of Cat.
