024 - Life Interrupted: Lessons Learned from Facing the Unexpected (Part 1 of 2)

024 - Life Interrupted: Lessons Learned from Facing the Unexpected (Part 1 of 2)
Welcome to The Fully Lived Life podcast! A podcast for those who are longing to pursue the full life and want to break free from anything that holds them back. Listen in as two friends - a psychologist, Dr. Merry and a life coach, Gillian - talk about life, love and purpose - with wisdom, humour and transparency -  through the lens of science, psychology, and life experiences. This is part one of a two-part conversation. In part 1, Gillian interviews Peter about his journey dealing with unexpected job loss and cancer, and then follows up in part 2 with an interview with Dr. Merry. What a treat to interview Peter Lin, the beloved hubby of Dr. Merry! Peter is a 6 on the Enneagram and has used his strengths to lead in projects in his corporate life and in his faith community. Peter revisits his journey through unexpected job loss and then a cancer diagnosis to help us see the connection to our present struggle with COVID-19. In a raw and honest discussion, Peter asks God “ What are you up to, what are you doing?” Listen in as Peter walks us through his journey. Do you feel like you have been “stripped away” of the knowns in your life during this season? Do you feel like you are in a waiting period with many unknowns? What unexpected things are you experiencing now, and how can you mine this time for the lessons to be learned? How do we wait in the short term but still dream in the long term?
