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
