Nikki Hadcroft... In Conversation from Inside the Hive

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.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

— Jalaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks (The Essential Rumi)
