Can you take the most painful times in your life and use them as fuel for kindness? That is exactly what our first guest on the Greatness Together Podcast did.
Quote of the Week: “It doesn’t have to be perfect. You just say, “I’m thankful because…” or “I want to recognize your greatness.” You just say it, and then you do it again and again and again.” Sonja Regier

This week, over an hour of laughs, strategies, and inspiration—the first half of which we shared in the last episode—you’ll hear how Sonja unleashed the power of appreciation and gratitude to fuel her physical and emotional recovery from breast cancer.
What you look for, you find. Sitting in the chemo chair, unable to have visitors, family, or even volunteers by her side, Sonja had a lot of time she needed to pass on her own. It wasn’t long before she noticed the greatness all around her.
Tune in to Sonja’s story to hear how writing little kudos for staff, as well as thinking of positive acknowledgements to give to people when the opportunity arose, was how she passed the hours in the chemo chair during COVID.
When you listen to the funny and touching ways that Sonja sees the world, you too will begin to notice greatness all around you. You’ll hear about the painful and heart-aching moments in her journey, and you’ll also hear how leaning on her kindness muscles was essential to rebuilding her mental strength and resilience to keep fighting.
And we have good news in this episode. Spoiler alert: Sonja’s well! And thank goodness. The world needs her greatness for a good long while yet!
To all the cancer survivors out there, all the people who love you, and all of our healthcare providers, we on the Greatness Together podcast - Sarah, Simonne and now Sonja - want to say we see, believe in and honour your greatness.
