  How to bounce back from a lifequake

  Sep 8, 202636 minS4

  Life rarely goes to plan, so what happens when everything changes? Bestselling author Bruce Feiler and financial planner Romany Youell join host Dr Tom Mathar to explore how we navigate the moments that shake up our lives. Whether it's a redundancy, a divorce, a health scare or a change you never saw coming, these ‘lifequakes’ can leave us questioning what's next. In this episode of season four, we look at why the idea of a linear life is a myth, how to find growth in periods of uncertainty, and why sometimes the goal isn't to bounce back to who we were before – but to get cosy with moving forward.
