The Getting of Wisdom

Confronting family secrets can be difficult but for Hugh can Cuylenburg, it was the key to setting him free. Hugh is known as the founder of the Resilience Project and co-host of the hit podcast, the Imperfects. For years he’s helped students and sports people learn simple strategies to prepare them for life’s ups and downs, winning fans with his self-deprecating storytelling. Underpinning Hugh’s work was his own family’s experience with mental illness; his sister Georgia battled an eating disorder from her early teens. Then Hugh hit his own mental health hurdle and he realised he had to untangle his complex relationship with Georgia and make amends.
