About this listen

In this uplifting episode of Pebble Ripple, we dive deep into the timeless and transformative power of Hope – that quiet force that keeps us moving forward even in the darkest times.

Dr. Suzie Dukic explores what hope truly is: not blind optimism or wishful thinking, but a powerful mindset rooted in goals, creative pathways, and inner agency, as defined by psychologist Charles Rick Snyder.

We examine Viktor Frankl’s profound insights from his Holocaust survival, and how hope buffered trauma and fueled purpose.

Voices like Desmond Tutu, Martin Luther King Jr., and Amanda Gorman remind us that hope is both personal and collective, a light we can choose to see and become.

Finally, practical, evidence-based ways to cultivate hope: setting small goals, planning multiple pathways, practicing gratitude, surrounding yourself with positive people, and taking action – because hope grows when we take action.

Perfect for anyone needing encouragement during challenging times or simply seeking a reminder of human resilience.

Join Dr. Dukic for a heartfelt, science-backed celebration of hope – the spark that turns possibility into reality.
