The award-winning broadcaster, journalist, author, documentary maker, producer and campaigner Charlie Webster is a woman with a turbo-charged work ethic. Though perhaps her greatest superpower is her resilience. A resilience that has seen her achieve all this whilst carrying the weight of so much personal trauma. Charlie was verbally and physically abused by her stepfather and as a teenager she was sexually abused, along with a number of other girls, by her running coach…a truly tragic story that she told she brilliantly in the BBC documentary, Nowhere to Run. Then, in 2016, after completing a 3,000-mile bike ride to Rio, Charlie contracted a rare strain of malaria and was put into a coma with doctors fearing that she may not last the night.   How she managed these crises is now the subject of Charlie’s brilliant new book ‘Why it’s Okay to Talk About Trauma’ – a manual for anyone facing personal challenge.   Book Why it’s OK to Talk About Trauma, 2024.   Links     Charlie’s Podcasts: Undiscussable, Surviving El Chapo, Scamanda Charlie’s Documentary: Nowhere to Run – Abused by our Coach   Stream/buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm     Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk       Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682 Photo Copyright: Laura Ribatallada     Host – Andy Coulson    CWC team: Jane Sankey, Louise Difford, Mabel Pickering    With special thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at Global       For all PR and guest approaches please contact – [email protected]    Full transcript: https://www.crisiswhatcrisis.com/podcasts/charlie-webster-on-managing-trauma-confronting-abuse-and-being-given-24-hours-to-live/
