I am delighted to bring you a conversation to inspire. Nikki Hadcroft is just amazing; a force to be reckoned with and the most inspirational woman I've met in quite a while. 

This podcast touches on breast cancer, alcoholism and death and is pretty sweary (understandable given the context, right?!), so don't listen with the littles nearby.

We talk about a few books and resources so I'm listing them below along with a few other resources that might be useful.

You can follow Nikki on her journey, and get in touch with her here:

The Poem

The Guest House by Rumi (13th Century Sufi Mystic)

This being human is a guest house.
\nEvery morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
\nsome momentary awareness comes
\nAs an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
\nEven if they\u2019re a crowd of sorrows,
\nwho violently sweep your house
\nempty of its furniture,
\nstill treat each guest honorably.
\nHe may be clearing you out
\nfor some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
\nmeet them at the door laughing,
\nand invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
\nbecause each has been sent
\nas a guide from beyond.

\u2014 Jalaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks (The Essential Rumi)
