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".

Welcome back to the Mortal and Strong podcast! In this episode, Dr Liz is joined by the wonderful soul that is Holly.
Holly shares her story of chronic health issues, beginning all the way in childhood when her chronic pain first set in. Holly talks frankly about her Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), hyper-mobility, Atrial Fibrillation (AF), and cluster headaches. She candidly shares what it's truly like living with these conditions, while also managing to remain hopeful, positive and finding continuous joy in the every day!
Holly also tells of her heart wrenching experience of Meningitis; from the very first symptoms, the long wait to be diagnosed, all the way up to now... 5 years on. She shares her raw insight into experiencing this major brain infection, and importantly shares how an illness like Meningitis doesn't end when you leave the hospital. Holly discusses life after meningitis, recovery, and tells Dr Liz of how she is a completely different person than she was before.
Holly is a perfect example of what it means to be Mortal and Strong, and we are so thankful to her for being another wonderful Voice for our Scars of Gold campaign!
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).
