Sian Lord joins the UK's #1 motivational speaker for secondary schools Cameron Parker for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about the life-changing accident that resulted in the loss of her leg and the journey that followed.
Sian takes Cameron back to the day of the accident, sharing what she remembers from those first moments, the people who rushed to save her life, and the moment she heard the words “possible amputation” from inside the ambulance.
The conversation explores trauma, survival, fear, perspective and what happens mentally when your life changes in a matter of seconds. Sian also shares a powerful reflection on the idea that your life flashes before your eyes, explaining that for her, it wasn't her whole life, it was the happiness she had finally created and feared she was about to lose.
