Today's guest is Rhiann Mannings, an incredible woman who's been through the very worst of what life can throw at you.
In 2012, Rhiann lost her one-year-old son, George, after he suffered a sudden seizure.
Just five days later, her husband, Paul, took his own life.
Since this unimaginable trauma, Rhiann has channeled her grief into helping those around her.
She set up To Wish, a charity created in her son and husband's memory that very same year.
Its mission is to ensure that every person affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young adult has access to bereavement support.
The charity is now working with almost every A&E department in Wales and operates family rooms in hospitals to provide a private place of comfort and support after a sudden death.
They also provide free memory boxes for families to create in the hospital.
Last year, Tuish began its expansion from Wales into England.
Rhiann's dedication and hard work was recognised in 2020, when she was presented with a Pride of Britain award by Michael Sheen, who described her as a true Welsh national treasure who transforms personal tragedy into a vital lifeline for others.
And last year, she hit the headlines when Prince William visited her house in Cardiff.
I've been to the offices of Tuwish in Wales.
A couple of times now, and I've met Rhiann and the rest of the team.
They're some of the most driven and inspiring people I've ever met.
The walls are lined with stars, each bearing the name of a child whose family they have helped.
Those stars now number over 3,000.
It's an honour and a privilege to sit down with her today to discuss, amongst other things, loss, grief, resilience and purpose.
