Mari Williams: Alone and Rising
Finding Solitude, Happiness and Self after being a carer, with Suzette Shahmoon
In this podcast Suzette Shahmoon discusses her feelings around loneliness and her journey to how she finally became happy alone. We cover topics such as, how she felt as the only Jewish girl in her community, to how she coped travelling in different countries and trying to quickly learn a new language.
Suzette also talks about how isolating it was to marry young to a husband suddenly diagnosed with Parkinson's and how this affected their family. Suzette shares how she approached finding out who she was and how she became Alone and Rising.
Suzette has spent almost 15 years working as a therapist, trying to understand how people connect to themselves and others.
She is now at UCL, finishing her PhD in neuropsychology, where she is continuing to research this aspect in people with chronic illness.
Suzette lectures on a range of topics to do with wellbeing in the corporate world and launched her podcast, “Hand baggage only”, on friendship in April 2023.
