The Adverse Effect

The Conversation: In this episode, Ken and Kate talk about surviving and resilience from loss. Kate talked about two experiences that impacted her life, an eating disorder and the loss of her sister in a tragic motorbike accident. Throughout the conversation, Kate shared how she learned to manage her expectations so she could become a more resilient survivor.

Here's what Kate shared:

• Moving through the negative spiral that led to an eating disorder
• How a stranger's comments changed her unrealistic beliefs about controlling reality through food
• How she learned to carry the pain of her grief into a powerful life mission
• Why travel safety is an important mission for her...and should be important to you too
• Dealing with the complex emotions of grief...and being OK with that
