And I thought about that about one of your themes in the book of being hope as well as loss. I'm going to start at the future, actually, and I'm going to ask what gives you hope? So you wrote in your book, "The value of a horizon to swim towards, the importance of trying to build something afterwards, to stay living, breathing, that had to be a purpose, a future, a bluer sky. You can follow her on Twitter if that's your thing, and you can buy her book, which I very much recommend. You can do two things if you're listening. I've had the privilege of hearing Lucy in person, and she is as wonderful as I would've thought. Lucy has written a beautiful and insightful book, “ When the Dust Settles.” The book is part memoir and recounts her life as a professional in disaster planning and recovery. I'm super excited to be speaking to Lucy Easthope. Podcast wherever you get podcasts or links below. Just make that tiny little kind of chaos theory difference, and that's enough.

We end on Lucy’s current projects and her life advice. We talk about the problems of systemic and structural challenges. How to think about balancing risk and opportunity. I ask about what is misunderstood about disaster management and what organisations and people can do. We touch on Lucy’s personal losses of miscarriage. We discuss the importance of humour and why Lucy is pranked a lot. We talk about themes in her life and writing such as working class roots and feminism. I ask about Lucy’s writing process and how she writes. This longing for a place to which there is no return. We talk about the Welsh notion of hiraeth /ˈhɪərʌɪθ/. We chat about the interdisciplinary nature of here work. I ask about why it's such an important part of Lucy’s work.

We talk about how many disasters I’ve been a by-stander to (Thailand tsunami, 9/11, Grenfell, 7/7, mortar bomb attack) and how disaster is recurring. My work is one of the greatest privileges of it is just seeing people being great a lot.

You can find her on Twitter / X ask Lucy about what she is hopeful about looking to the future. Her book When the Dust Settles is both memoir of her life in disaster recovery and a personal journey through life, love and loss.
