   Diagnosed at 35 Weeks Pregnant, Now Fighting Stage 4: Harriet's Story

   Harriet found a lump in the shower at 35 weeks pregnant. Three years, two recurrences and a stage four diagnosis later, she's still fighting, and she's doing it live for the first time on Everything Changed.In this episode, host Rosie Fawehimi sits down with Harriet Lawler to talk through her breast cancer journey: the diagnosis that arrived a week before she gave birth, the newborn daughter, Nellie, she raised through chemotherapy, the recurrence that turned stage three into stage four, and the therapy that helped her grieve the life she thought she'd have. Harriet also opens up about her current treatment in Frankfurt, and why she's chosen to keep fighting on her own terms, with her husband Joe by her side.Support Harriet's treatment: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-hThis episode is sponsored by RevitaLash.

   The love story behind a multi-million-dollar beauty brand

   Special offerUse code CHANGE20 for 20% off your order at www.revitalash.co.ukIn our season two finale, Rosie sits down with Dariel Sidney, daughter of RevitaLash's founders and the company's VP of Philanthropy, for the story behind our podcast sponsor.Dariel's mother was diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer at just 32. As she went through chemotherapy and radiation, the hardest part wasn't the treatment itself, it was the damage done to her once-beautiful lashes and brows. Her husband, a practicing ophthalmologist, set out to fix that. What started as a homemade formula in a small vial became RevitaLash, a brand now marking its 20th anniversary, sold in international markets since 2008, and built on a mission that's raised over $13 million for breast cancer research and support charities, including the Crick Institute and Future Dreams House.Rosie and Dariel talk about growing up alongside her mother's illness, the early "no category" marketing challenge of selling a product that was an entirely new category of cosmetics, what it means to carry on a parent's legacy after loss, and the genuine hope Dariel's seeing in cancer research right now, from BRCA testing to pan-cancer drug trials that go after cancer cells before they can develop into breast or lung cancer at all.It's an honest, emotional conversation about turning grief into purpose, and a fitting way to close out the season.In this episode[00:01:43] How a vial and a Q-Tip became a 20-year-old global beauty brand[00:03:04] Growing up with a mother in and out of chemotherapy[00:07:20] Building a category that didn't exist yet.[00:12:30] RevitaLash's philanthropic arm and the "20 Years, 20 Million, One Mission" campaign[00:13:07] Partnerships with the Crick Institute and Future Dreams House[00:24:19] BRCA testing, genetic risk, and family planning decisions[00:25:52] Why one oncologist believes chemotherapy will one day be obsolete[00:31:52] A backstage moment at the Future Dreams fashion show that stuck with both of themLinksRevitaLash Cosmetics: www.revitalash.co.ukSponsor disclosureThis episode features RevitaLash Cosmetics, official sponsor of Everything Changed.

   She Nearly Died Giving Birth. Then the Real Fight Began.

   Natalie Day went into labour and nearly didn't come home. Following a catastrophic placental abruption, she lost 4.5 litres of blood — almost her entire blood volume — and needed six transfusions to survive. Her newborn son was transferred to a high-dependency neonatal unit at another hospital. It would be five days before she was able to meet him. Doctors had already prepared her family for the possibility that she might not make it through the night.She made it. But the aftermath was only the beginning.Back home, and straight into lockdown, Natalie had no idea she had developed PTSD. Isolated, overwhelmed and unable to process what she had been through, she turned to alcohol and cocaine to numb the pain. What began as an escape quietly spiralled into addiction, bringing chaos into her home and pulling her further from the mother she wanted to be.It was her son who finally made her stop and look honestly at her life. Through the 12-step programme, therapy and a determination to rebuild herself from the ground up, she found a way back. Today, Natalie is 15 months sober — living proof that recovery is possible, and that even after the darkest times, it is never too late to find your way back to yourself.

   She went to Tanzania at 18 to help children. She ended up raising fifteen of them.

   Letty McMaster was 18 years old when she travelled to Tanzania to volunteer at an orphanage. What she found there stopped her in her tracks. The children were being kept in deliberate poverty -- a cycle of neglect designed to attract donations from Western volunteers, with the staff taking the money for themselves. Letty stayed. She learned Swahili. She exposed the abuse. When the local council shut the orphanage down, she was registered as the legal guardian of nine children who had nowhere to go. She was 22 years old. Over the next ten years, Letty raised fifteen children in a family home she set up and ran herself in Tanzania. She founded Street Children Iringa, which now supports three houses -- a family home, a safe house welcoming over 100 street children a year, and a newly opened home for young mothers living on the streets. The children she raised have gone on to university, professional boxing, and international football. One of them achieved the best A-level results in the country and is now studying civil engineering at the University of Cape Town. This is one of the most remarkable stories we have heard on Everything Changed.

In this episode we discuss: * The COVID diagnosis Navigating the terrifying first weeks of lockdown while realising something was wrong. * Finding out both she and her husband carried the same rare gene. * The survival instinct Why she had to emotionally detach from her second pregnancy to survive the weight of a potential second diagnosis. * Milestones vs inchstones The beautiful, small victories that mean everything.

Thank you to RevitaLash for supporting Everything Changed. ⸻ 🎙️ Everything Changed | Carly Chan’s story In this episode, Rosie speaks to Carly Chan, who shares the reality of pregnancy sickness that became life-threatening and why giving birth was not the end of her struggle. Just weeks into pregnancy, Carly developed hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe condition that left her bedridden, dehydrated, and unable to function. What’s often dismissed as “bad morning sickness” became months of relentless nausea, isolation, and a devastating impact on her mental health. Carly speaks honestly about: * Losing her sense of identity * Feeling trapped in her own body * Experiencing suicidal thoughts, not because she didn’t want her baby, but because she desperately wanted the sickness to stop Although the physical symptoms ended as soon as her son was born, Carly explains how she struggled to bond with him, feeling intense fear, anxiety, and shame in the early days of motherhood. With support from friends, her husband, and specialist perinatal mental health services, Carly made the terrifying but life-changing decision to enter a Mother and Baby Unit, where she received intensive support for severe postnatal anxiety and depression. This is a powerful, honest conversation about pregnancy, postnatal mental health, and why asking for help can be lifesaving.

    I lost my mobility, my voice, and my identity… and somehow found a new life

    Sponsored by RevitaLash Cosmetics Use code ROSIE20 for 20 percent off at checkout. Kristen’s life changed almost overnight. In early 2022, she suddenly developed extreme anxiety, tremors, and escalating neurological symptoms that no one could explain. Within months, she lost her voice, her confidence, and eventually her mobility — going from walking for half an hour to barely lasting five minutes. Her husband carried her up and down the stairs. She stopped going out. She hid from friends and family because she couldn’t face the questions. This episode follows Kristen’s raw, honest journey through misdiagnosis, fear, and the emotional shock of becoming a full-time wheelchair user at 26. It also traces the unexpected moment everything shifted — a chance encounter at Paddington Station with another wheelchair user — and how that single conversation opened the door to wheelchair basketball, then padel, and ultimately a new identity. Today, Kristen is Britain’s number-one female wheelchair padel player. Her story is about identity, loss, resilience, and rebuilding a life that looks nothing like the one she had before — but one she is proud of. 00:00 Losing mobility, losing her voice — everything collapses 00:23 Meet Kristen: nurse and Britain’s No.1 wheelchair padel player 01:31 The sudden anxiety and confusion in 2022 03:37 Misdiagnosis, dismissal, and declining mobility 06:13 Losing her voice — and losing her identity 11:37 The Bath trip: realising she can no longer walk 17:27 Isolation, hiding from the world, husband becoming a carer 23:53 Paddington Station: the moment everything changed 27:58 From wheelchair basketball to becoming No.1 in padel 31:29 The pink hair: reclaiming identity and confidence
