There’s something I didn’t expect from this experience. 

Not just how sick I was, but how much the way I was treated affected everything. 

In this episode, I share my experience in ICU and on the ward, and what it showed me about communication, connection, and the role frontline staff play in recovery. 

Because when you’re in a hospital bed, you notice everything. You notice who listens and who doesn’t. You notice who treats you like a person and who doesn’t. 

In this episode, I talk about: 

• The difference communication makes during a health crisis 
• What helped me feel calm and supported in ICU 
•  What changed when that level of connection wasn’t there 
• The impact of being treated as a person, not just a patient 
• Why recovery is influenced by more than just treatment 
• The emotional load carried by frontline staff 
• The importance of supporting those who support others 

This episode is relevant whether you’re living with a health condition or working in a frontline role.
