This episode could be titled "Overcoming: a guide".  My guest overcame the challenges of premature birth, and a fourth degree tear, and a misdiagnosis, and a fistula and a stoma. Having had so many elements of her life overturned by her experience of birth, she was reborn in a way, as a complete badass tackling every physical thing that previously induced fear in her. She's challenging all the ideas that have created limits on her life and in the process, raising awareness and money for others who have experienced birth trauma and changing our perception of what life with a stoma can look like. I'm also lucky to include the medical insights of a fantastic OB, who happens to be the co founder of an organization called Beyond Fistula, helping women in Kenya who are working to overcome their own challenges with obstetric fistula.
