Friedrich Nietzsche famously said, “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger” – but we’re well past that now. What doesn’t kill us has the capacity to change who we are, what we believe in and how we experience the world – it’s not just about building our strength. It’s also an invitation to get creative. Welcome to What Doesn’t Kill Us with Dr Marion Piper – a podcast for conversations about creativity, posttraumatic growth and how we make sense of the tough stuff.
