What happens when a single sentence stays with you for decades?When Lisa Jolly was 19 years old, she sat beside her nan as she was dying from pancreatic cancer. In one of their final conversations, her nan looked at her and said:"I'm not ready to die."At the time, Lisa couldn't have known that those words would become the beginning of a lifelong journey exploring health, healing, grief, purpose, and the questions that sit beyond what medicine alone can answer.In this deeply moving conversation, Nichola and Lisa explore the experiences that shaped her life: her sister's diagnosis with lupus at just 21 years old, the loss of her sister while studying naturopathy, the grief of losing her mum, and the profound questions these experiences left behind.Together they discuss:• Grief and how it changes us• The questions illness leaves behind• Finding meaning after loss• Healing beyond the physical body• Purpose born from pain• Why healing isn't always about finding answers• Learning to live alongside life's biggest questions• The journey from grief to helping others healThis is a conversation about loss, healing, purpose, and the threads that quietly shape our lives long before we understand where they are leading us.Because sometimes healing isn't about finding answers.Sometimes it's about learning how to live alongside the questions.🎙️ The Four Pillars of Healing PodcastHosted by Nichola Hand
