“I can’t control what happened, but I can control how I react to it.” This was Jane Enright’s guiding thought as she navigated the worst year of her life. When three consecutive tragedies occurred in the span of a year, Enright found herself recovering from physical injury, caregiving for a loved one, and grieving her best friend - all at once. A committed “glass half-full girl,” she was determined to become the CEO of everything. She wrote her first book, Butter Side Up, about the challenges she faced in that year while overcoming a traumatic brain injury. “When disaster strikes,” she tells CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour, “having a positive mindset is our best defense against getting swallowed up in that hamster wheel of dread and grief and loss. That’s not denying the feelings, but rather letting them go.” Listen in to her conversation to learn her advice for not just surviving but thriving through unimaginable sudden change.
