Surviving Sepsis; understanding courage after crisis with Broadcaster & Egyptologist Dr Elizabeth Frood

This week's guest is Dr Elizabeth Frood, broadcaster, Egyptologist & associate professor at Oxford University, specialising in the Ancient World's graffiti, sacred places and social structures. In 2015 her world was rocked when she contracted Sepsis, nearly died and lost her legs, much of the use of her hands and the hearing in her right ear; but that didn't stop her continuing the work she loves.

Brave New You TRIBE podcast Host, artist & illustrator, Lou Hamilton chats with Liz as they discuss ancient graffiti, making a documentary about the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, her work in Egypt and the disease that brought her down. She says she needed to dig deep within herself to find the courage to adapt after the life-changing damage that Sepsis inflicted on her body, but with the support of friends, family and colleagues, she is able, slowly, to figure out how to rebuild and move her life forwards. Liz brings us her Story from the Edge.
