Ep 4: Louise Stewart: Resilience as a BBC correspondent and how it helped her through breast cancer & job loss
Manage episode 305185258 series 2955493
OK so it's been some time since the last episode of the Brilliant Resilient Club - I've been recuperating from a couple of operations but now thankfully on the mend. And the conversations I've had with my guests on this very podcast about how to cope during tough times really helped !
This episode with Louise Stewart has hopefully worth the wait.
Louise is a former BBC political correspondent who’s now moved into communications.
She’s shown a fair bit of resilience in recent years having faced both career and health crises.
At the start of the pandemic, like many Louise suddenly lost her job and was struggling to even get responses from her many applications despite her experience. That’s a challenge enough but this came after Louise was diagnosed with bi-lateral breast cancer - and had to have a rare double breast operation.
Happily, she’s now celebrating 5 years of being cancer free and is thriving in her career. She is also an ambassador for Cancer Research UK and this month also being Breast Cancer Awareness month - what better time to talk to her about how she got herself through her tough times.
