This was originally released October 2020 and I am re-sharing it at the top of 2022 because I find Bronnie and her story so empowering!
 

Bronnie Ware is best known as the author of the international bestselling memoir The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, read by over a million people in 32 languages, and with a movie in the pipeline. She is a respected teacher of courage on the global stage, and is a passionate advocate for simplicity and getting out of the way for life to provide some shortcuts.  I LOVED talking to Bronnie and going through the journey of her life and work here are some of the things we talk about in this episode:


 growing up on farms in Australia with parents who were both musicians and took stable jobs to support the family 
choosing a career in banking at age 19 and getting married and thinking she was choosing the most stable and secure life
what pushed her to get out of her marriage with an alcoholic husband
starting to become a songwriter and musician at age 35
how she got into taking care of the terminally ill as a palliative care worker
how the conversations of regrets would naturally come up with her patients and how she used their regrets to look at how she was living her life
starting a songwriting workshop in a woman’s jail because she wanted to work with hope and how that led to her starting her blog
the magical timing that she did get offered a proper book deal on the book that has now become an INTL bestseller
what inspired her two other books and how writing purely for joy led her to writing her first novel!
