Resilience Researcher. Real-life practitioner.

When Lucy’s daughter Abi died suddenly in a road accident in 2014, everything she knew about coping with unwanted change was tested in the most personal way imaginable.

She turned to the research she’d spend years studying, not to move on, but to survive. To keep her family together. To find a way forward.

That experience didn’t just reshape her life. It reshaped her work.

Today she speaks to boardrooms, beaches and everything in between. Her books are pressed into people’s hands at the worst moments of their lives.

Real, not perfect. But equipped. And so can you be.

  • "The most impactful fireside chat we've ever had. Actionable, real and unforgettable."

  • "The highest rated segment of the entire three-day conference."
