In this deeply reflective episode of the Still I Rise Podcast, Orla returns to the studio to talk honestly about rebuilding after loss, the hidden grief we don’t always name, and how moments of crisis force us to re-evaluate what truly matters. From experiencing a house fire just before Christmas, to reflections on safety, community, parenting, legacy, and representation, this conversation explores resilience without romanticising it – and progress without demanding perfection.
What You Will Learn:
- How loss can show up beyond death – including grief for homes, routines, and safety Why community and connection matter most in moments of crisis
- How experiences of trauma can shift our relationship with fear, legacy, and purpose
- Why progress in representation (like the autistic Barbie) doesn’t need to be perfect to be meaningful
- How to hold space for nuance, discomfort, and growth in conversations about inclusion Reflections on parenting, identity, and navigating change as children grow
Who This Video Is For:
- Parents, educators, and caregivers navigating change, loss, or uncertainty Anyone reflecting on purpose, legacy, and what really matters
- People interested in inclusion, neurodiversity, and representation
- Those working with children and young people in education or community settings
- Anyone seeking thoughtful, honest conversations about resilience, grief, and progress
