How just one smile made me feel safe

Sports presenter and campaigner Charlie Webster shares the story of the moment she was told she was going to die. 

She still suffers flashbacks and PTSD three years after contracting Malaria in Rio de Janeiro at the Olympic games. 

Charlie talks so openly in this episode of Atrainability Radio about how we can learn from her physical and mental aftercare and how it is important to recognise in others when they are not okay but it is even more important to recognise in ourselves when we are not okay. ​

Here's my conversation with Charlie Webster in episode 003 of Atrainability Radio.
