Content Warning - We discuss an abusive relationship in this episode.
How do you come back from an abusive relationship, a court case with a famous popstar, and losing all your stock due to a shipping error? Karly has done all this in the last few years and tells us how she did it, and why letting go of shame, embarrassment and a fear of failure was key.
Karly Arber is an entrepreneur, Holistic Health Coach, business coach and trustee of the charity Youth Realities. She is perhaps best known for her business Lenny London, a successful luxury activewear brand. With the success comes a story of resilience and empowerment. Karly endured a physically abusive relationship for 3.5 years and as a result suffered with severe health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and CFS. She ended up bed-bound and hit rock bottom.
Eventually she was able to leave the relationship and embarked on the most life-changing journey, rebuilding her entire life.
In an extra story of resilience, she then had to deal with a court case with one of Britain's most famous popstars, the loss of around £30k worth of her products, and an ongoing fight with her shipping company.
She’s come to talk about her journey, what she has learned, and what resilience means to her.

‘Healing is an ongoing process. That is how to start moving forward. It's not a case of getting a certificate, ticking a box, and saying that I'm healed. It's about accepting what has happened and allowing it to become part of who I am, without it defining who I am, leaving me frozen in time.’ Joe French - Out of Mind
Joe French is a Film maker, Climber, Musician, Barefoot runner, and author.
Combining his love of climbing, mountains and storytelling, Joe taught himself to become a climbing cameraman and started making films on the cliffs of Ben Nevis and beyond. This started a successful career in TV and Joe was soon working as a self-shooting Producer/Director on high profile productions, including recreating Sir Ernest Shackleton’s epic journey of survival in Antarctica.
But Joe has experienced a great deal of trauma and tragedy whilst filming in the mountains. He has been lucky to survive on several occasions. In 2015, he was about to fulfil a dream of a lifetime – to climb Everest and film it, when tragedy struck and Joe found himself at the epicentre of an earthquake which killed nearly 9,000 people. Only a few years previously, his team of Sherpas had been killed in another avalanche, and soon after that, Julie, his wife, was diagnosed with cancer. His experience of Post-Traumatic Stress and the subsequent journeys of healing is the subject of his book Out of Mind, which is out now via Sandstone Press/Vertebrate Publishing.

How do we live with grief?
Lizzie Pickering offers grief guidance and is a speaker, podcaster, author and film maker.
Her book 'When Grief Equals Love' is out now.
She offers guidance to private individuals and companies on the effects of grief, whether through bereavement, divorce, diagnosis or workplace change.
She has 23 years of experience investigating responses to shock, trauma and grief, through her films, podcasts, and the years she spent as a carer to her terminally ill, eldest child, Harry. Subsequently through 12 years working at the children’s hospice where Harry died, she worked closely with the bereavement team on peer-to-peer support and had the privilege of hearing the stories of many bereaved parents and siblings.
When Harry died in 2000, she set out on a journey to understand how she could survive her grief and learn to live with it. In her book, out now, When Grief Equals Love, she details the lessons she’s learned from her own experiences and those of others, who share their thoughts in this moving and powerful book.
Lizzie opens her diaries, written in the early years after Harry’s death, revealing her observations on the grief of his siblings and family, what helped and what hurt. Revisiting those diaries, she reflects on time passing, and what has changed for her and her family since.
Lizzie looks at the myth of closure, survivor’s energy and cumulative grief – when life experiences pile up and become too much to bear.
In the book, she writes ‘it took a long time and much investigation into how to survive my own grief, and that is work in progress, but I hope that some of what I have learned so far might resonate’.
