What happens when your whole life changes in a single moment?

I’m joined by the amazing Charlie Flounders - an award-nominated visual storyteller, workshop leader and speaker who shares her journey of turning personal adversity into purpose.


In the summer of 2024, Charlie's path took a sudden and life-altering turn after a traumatic accident whilst filming aboard an industrial ship. Rather than let that moment define her, Charlie made a deliberate choice to transform it into something positive. 

In this powerful conversation, Charlie opens up about what it’s been like to relearn the basics of daily life, live with a physical difference and find the courage to show up in a whole new way.

We talk about grief, resilience, identity, visibility and purpose - and what it really means to keep going when life takes an unexpected turn.

Charlie is such a sparkly, courageous woman and her story will move and inspire you.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:


- What courage really looks like 


- Rebuilding confidence and independence after trauma


- Why we need to stop being so mean to ourselves about how we look

- Turning pain into purpose and post-traumatic growth


- The power of sharing your story - and what it can open up

A gentle note: This episode includes sensitive discussion of medical trauma. Please take care while listening.
