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".

In this episode, Dr Liz is joined by the ray of sunshine that is Lisa!
Lisa talks us through her story of being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at just 18 years old. Just as she was ready to go off to university, Lisa's world was turned upside down by cancer, chemo, and the physical and mental after-effects a diagnosis like this has, especially at such a young age.
After getting back to some normality, Lisa also shares how she went on to be diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and later when pregnant with her second child, a second primary diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Lisa talks candidly of her patient experiences, giving us an insight into the fear of leaving two young children to face a thyroidectomy, as well as radioactive iodine therapy, and so much more.
Despite all that has happened, Lisa still manages to find joy and hope; even sharing her gratitude that these experiences have lead her to the life she has now.
We are so grateful to Lisa for sharing her story for the Mortal and Strong Scars of Gold Campaign - thank you Lisa!
Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign sharing the voices of 100 women facing their mortality at a young age with life changing or incurable health conditions. Produced by charity @mortalandstrong (No.1209448).
