Finding Strength in Loss: Why Dr Lucy Hone’s Message Matters for Your Next Event


Life doesn’t always go as planned. Divorce, illness, redundancy, infertility, or unexpected change can leave us asking:

“How will I ever get through this?”

Dr Lucy Hone – bestselling New Zealand author and internationally recognised TED speaker – has dedicated her career to answering that question. Her new book, How Will I Ever Get Through This?, offers a compassionate, research-backed guide for navigating life’s toughest moments.

What Audiences Gain from Lucy Hone

Lucy’s work is grounded in decades of resilience research and her own lived experience of profound loss. She has a rare ability to turn science into practical strategies that people can actually use.
Her talks help audiences:

  • Understand why resilience matters in times of change.
  • Learn actionable tools to cope with uncertainty and loss.
  • Find hope and clarity when life feels overwhelming.

These aren’t just ideas – they’re life skills that empower individuals and organisations to thrive, even in adversity.

Why Lucy Hone Is the Speaker Your Event Needs

Lucy’s sessions are authentic, relatable, and deeply inspiring. She connects with audiences on a human level while delivering evidence-based insights.
Her message resonates across industries and is ideal for:

  • Kickstart 2026 / Back to work Events
  • International Women’s Day events
  • Leadership and wellbeing conferences
  • Corporate gatherings focused on growth and resilience

Key Takeaways from Her Approach

Lucy structures her guidance around twenty essential questions, moving people from initial overwhelm (Why am I so exhausted? Who am I now?) to hopeful re-engagement (What is still good in my world? Who and what do I want to live for?).
Her talks leave audiences feeling more resilient, empowered, and ready to face the future.
