Plot twist are an exciting feature of our favourite stories but can be the most harrowing experiences of our actual lives.

In this episode, we reveal:

  • The major plot twists of our lives and how we survived them
  • The painful exercise in pushing through when life shoves us into the unknown
  • How to exist in the story before growth, closure or resolution
  • And why resilience looks much messier, sloppier and tear-stained than we ever expected
