A unique series of interviews led by Mortal And Strong charity founder, Dr Liz Murray. Season 1 follows 100 women from the Scars of Gold campaign; an innovative health campaign putting the spotlight on women facing life changing or incurable health conditions at a young age. Exploring all health conditions from cancer to autoimmune conditions, gynaecological conditions, neurological...discussing how these women have faced life changing health problems but found a way to navigate through it and how they found their strength. Each episode explores the individual Voice's journey, before exploring how they found strength in darker days and ending on our infamous last question "when you wake up on a morning, what brings you joy?".
A unique podcast led by Dr Liz Murray, who was a medical doctor for over 10 years before complex health issues led her to leave a clinical facing role. Dr Liz then founded the charity Mortal And Strong to provide education, support and advocacy for people facing life changing health conditions at a young age. In the first 100 Voices we have covered over 140 critical health conditions, sharing messages of hope and strength, being real and honest. Trying to change the social stigma of disease, trying to provide a beacon of light to those in the early stages of their journey.
"One day your story will become someone else's survival guide".

We are delighted and honoured to share our latest interview with another incredible Voice from the Scars Of Gold campaign - our wonderful charity Ambassador and a voice from the record-breaking band Atomic Kitten; Natasha Hamilton. Natasha has joined our charity as an ambassador and as one of the 100 Voices sharing her story of facing life changing health conditions at a young age. In this episode Natasha shares with charity founder Dr Liz Murray how growing up in a girl band from a teenager and the pressures that went with this led to serious mental health issues and severe postnatal depression. Natasha shares the highs and lows of being in the music industry from a young age with some brilliant and funny stories, whilst also sharing of the intensity and lack of mental health support for pop bands in the 90's. After having children Natasha left the music industry for a while and focused on her own wellbeing and nurturing her own family, but shares something that so many people discover too late; how sometimes life stresses take their toll physically. Natasha then went on to be diagnosed with autoimmune disease (thyroid disease) and how this has had a profound impact on her. Natasha has now returned to the music industry not only as a successful solo artist but also launching her own record label to provide the type of support and care for young artists that Natasha herself knows is needed.
We are so grateful to Natasha for sharing her Scars Of Gold with us for our health awareness campaign; sharing a unique and incredible interview for our charity and being an Ambassador supporting our charity. Scars Of Gold is a health awareness campaign using the power of photography, art and interviews to raise awareness of 100 women facing life changing or incurable health conditions at a young age. The collection is being exhibited in London for Women's Health Week in may 2025 (tickets available now on Eventbrite or our website).
Mortal And Strong is a registered charity (1209448) providing centralised support for anyone facing life changing or incurable health conditions.
