Remona Aly on breaking an engagement, and the transformative force of grief

How We Live Now with Katherine May

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

While we take a rest over the summer, we’re sharing some remastered episodes from Season One, chosen by listeners.

In this episode, I speak to journalist and broadcaster Remona Aly about her life-changing decision to call off an engagement, and how it echoed through the years to teach her about forgiveness, faith and empathy.

This is such a special one for me - I went to school with Remona, and I think you can hear our joy at reconnecting after a couple of decades, and feeling so at home in the process. We cover all of human life here: buckle in.

We talked about:

• Finding the sacred in everyday life
• How grief changes you
• The need for community
• Breaking off an engagement and family shame
