Pt 2: Finding Hope in Adversity: Why Louise Thompson Feels Lucky

In part 2, Louise Thompson shares the aftermath of her birth experience and the long road to recovery.

Louise shares why she almost named her book ‘Death’, how her trauma has changed her life for the better and the frustration when she fell ill again after an Ulcerative Colitis flare-up.

She shares her most vulnerable times as she entered back into the hospital, making the decision to have surgery and why she found her own body triggering during this time.
