Rosie Mankes - Humour and Tragedy in partnership

Rosie Mankes is a life coach, motivational speaker, and author of Find Your Joy and Run With It, a memoir about overcoming her second battle with cancer, the transitioning of her mother into an assisted living facility, and the unexpected loss of her brother, all within one year.

Rosie talks to Dr Russell Thackeray about how her identity as a secret comedian helped her come out of adversity happier and stronger and how humour was one of the healthiest coping mechanisms for her. In this podcast:

• Rosie explains how she managed to find joy in everyday living again
• How making a number a small changes can work better than ‘big picture’ thinking
• Why you need to define what makes you happy
