BlairKaplanVenables

Hi, I’m Blair. I’m a grief and resilience expert, coach, motivational speaker, and the founder of The Global Resilience Project. But more than any title, I’m someone who understands what it feels like when life knocks the wind out of you and keeps going. My work is rooted in lived experience, deep compassion, and a belief that resilience is not something you’re born with. It’s something you can build, even in the middle of heartbreak. Over the years, my work has been featured in places like Psychology Today, Forbes, TEDx, CBC Radio, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, and more. I was honored to be named the Top Grief and Resilience Expert of the Year in 2024 by IAOTP, and USA Today listed me as one of the top 10 conscious female leaders to watch. I’ve shared my story on stages around the world and through MyStory, a television show available on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Google Play, because I believe storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing. I’m also the cohost of the RESILIENT A.F. with Blair and Alana podcast, where real conversations about grief, growth, and being human take center stage. I specialize in helping people strengthen their resilience muscle using scientifically proven methods, and I work closely with high performers navigating grief through my Navigating Grief Framework. Through The Global Resilience Project, I’ve had the privilege of curating award-winning, international bestselling books that remind people they are not alone in their pain or their strength. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me writing, spending time in nature, traveling, or connecting deeply with people who are learning, often for the first time, that they are far more resilient than they ever imagined. My work is rooted in the belief that resilience is not about pushing through pain, but learning how to live honestly alongside it. I guide people through grief with compassion, structure, and evidence-based practices that respect both emotional depth and forward momentum.

"I loved being able to connect, and not just with our coach, but also with the other people that were brought into the group. It was nice knowing that there were people that were going through the same things that I was. From losing a parent to losing an animal to just feeling like you lost yourself. It was a warm comforting, feeling to know that there were people that were just like me. I could never be more thankful. "

What I Hope to Share

I hope to contribute a space where grief can be acknowledged without judgment and resilience can be built without minimizing pain. My intention is to offer grounded guidance, shared perspective, and practical tools that support people navigating loss while continuing to live meaningful lives. What I hope to gain is connection. Every story shared deepens understanding, and community strengthens resilience. This work is reciprocal by nature, and I value learning alongside those I support.

What Brought Me to ShareWell

The foundation of resilience is community. ShareWell creates space for people to be seen, heard, and supported through life’s most difficult moments. That aligns directly with the mission of The Global Resilience Project and my work as a grief and resilience guide, making this a natural place to contribute.
