Gilly Mulford
Resilience Guide, Speaker & #1 Bestselling Author
Wallingford Literary Festival Oct 2026
An absolute privilege to be part of the first Wallingford Literary Festival and sit on a panel with local authors, sharing stories of emotional wellbeing, hope, healing and resilience.
Ancient Wisdom: Modern Science UK Health Radio
Finding strength in life’s deepest cracks isn’t just a theme, it’s the lived reality behind my work.
After navigating trauma and unimaginable loss, I’ve learned how resilience can take root even in the moments that feel impossible.
I joined Michelle Hammond on UK Health Radio for Ancient Wisdom: Modern Science, where we talked openly about resilience, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up.
A conversation for anyone rebuilding, re‑rooting, or simply trying to breathe again.
A Quiet Moment of Gratitude
Every so often, a message arrives that reminds me why I wrote Where Dandelions Grow in the first place.
Today, it came in the form of a video testimonial; honest, heartfelt, and full of the kind of truth you only speak when a book has met you exactly where you are.
There’s something powerful about hearing someone describe how
- the words landed for them…
- how a single chapter helped them breathe…
- how a story made them feel less alone in their own quiet beginnings.
It’s one thing to write a book. It’s another to watch it become part of someone else’s healing.
And if the book has spoken to you too, you’re always welcome to share your own reflections; whether in a message, a conversation, or an Amazon review that helps it reach someone who needs it next.
Here’s to the quiet moments that change us.
Mind Monkeys Welcome (Bananas Optional) - Mark Franklin
Gilly's book "Where Dandelions Grow: A Rooted Journey for the Overwhelmed to Thrive Through Life's Cracks" became a number one bestseller in two categories within its first week of publication. Written in six weeks from a lifetime of lived experience, it is one of the most honest and generous books you'll read this year. This conversation is raw, moving, and deeply practical. Gilly shares the tools, techniques and mindset shifts that carried her through trauma, breakdown and bereavement and back into joy - and how she now helps others do the same..
Productivity Nerd with Kathy Soulsby
In this conversation, Kathy catches up with Gilly to explore what happens when the usual productivity tools - the habits, the systems, the routines - fail you because your nervous system is too frazzled to play along. They dig into the relationship between resilience and getting things done, the inner critic Gilly has named Dave, the surprisingly seductive pull of catastrophising, and why acceptance isn't the same as giving up. If you've ever wondered why you can't just implement the
productivity advice you know works, this episode might be the missing piece. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop and rebuild from the roots up.
"TOTALLY inspiring thank you"
"Oooooh - I love this advice!"
