Nobody embodies the idea of rising quite like Louise Thompson. Louise is an author, women’s health campaigner, former reality TV star, businesswoman - and a survivor. This is at it’s heart a powerful, visceral and highly personal story of Louise’s ability to overcome a near-death experience, medical trauma and health complications following the birth of her son in 2021. Louise opens up about some of her lowest moments and difficulties, and also shares how her experience has left her with a completely new outlook on life where nothing can phase her. This is not just a harrowing story of what can go wrong, but an inspirational testament to the power of resilience.Content warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of traumatic birth, listener discretion is advised.
