Episode 1 - Perspective and new opportunities in times of hardship with host Amelia Rees
/In this episode of the “My Story” Podcast, we will start to get to know each other as I share my story which led me to start this podcast, and my Podcast Production business ‘Pretty Podcasts’.
Between 2013 and 2018, I had three major surgeries to remove a rare tumour from my collarbone. This difficult time had a huge effect on both my mental and physical health. However, this adversity has taught me so much about myself and gave me a better perspective on what really matters in life…human connection. Through all my difficulties I have gained a new perspective on life. My hard-ship turned into my career and I think that message is worth sharing.
In the ‘My Story’ Podcast, I will interview everyday people as they openly share their own stories as an encouragement to others facing adversity in their own lives.
During our time together we will discuss:
How I came to realise I had an Aggressive Osteoblastoma in my clavicle
Fast forward a few years and my experience of re-occurrence and the shock of the break
My journey with chronic pain and severe anxiety
The challenges the medical team faced in completing a Clavicle Resection in round three of surgery
Having to discuss my mortality, with my husband at the age of 27
The kindness and support of Clarissa Rayward, which led me to start my own business, Pretty Podcasts
My Story of recovery and getting my ‘spark’ back
The goals of the My Story Podcast
