Description

This is the second half of my rebroadcast conversation with Gill, a mother from England who experienced lots of physical challenges with her premature birth, which changed her life. The birth gave her a beloved son, but it also dramatically shifted her life: away from the job she'd had and the life she'd imagined into something entirely different and ultimately completely inspiring. Now: she's an advocate for women who encounter birth trauma and a full time source of inspiration. Today we pick up where we left off last week. Gill has finally met with a consultant who accurately diagnoses the tear she sustained in birth.
