Trigger Warning: This talk discusses the topic of suicide.
These are highlights from a September 30th 2023 online talk at Good Grief Festival.
Poorna Bell is an award-winning journalist and author whose critically acclaimed book, Stronger, was awarded Sports Performance Book Of The Year by The Sunday Times. Stronger follows Poorna’s journey to find physical strength after her husband, Rob, took his own life in 2015 at the age of 39. Now a competitive amateur powerlifter, Poorna has inspired thousands of women all over the world to find their strength in the face of adversity.
For this very special event, Poorna is in conversation with Julia Samuel MBE to discuss how we can find strength and determination, even in the darkest moments of our lives.
‘Poorna’s story is one that will inspire women everywhere, tragedy showed her how strong she was inside which would in turn show her how strong she could become on the outside’ - June Sarpong
