Could the way we speak to ourselves be more powerful than we realise?
In Episode 33 of Stand Up Again with Sophie and Nick Rado, New Zealand water researcher Veda Austin shares her extraordinary journey of survival, healing and discovery.
After a horrific car accident left her with life-changing injuries and years of surgeries, Veda embarked on an unexpected path that sparked a 14-year fascination with water.
Through perseverance and curiosity, she has captured over 45,000 images through water crystallography and is now working towards her PhD, exploring the mysteries of this essential element.
Veda shares that, with our bodies made up of approximately 99% water molecules, our thoughts, words and negative self-talk may be more connected to our wellbeing than we realise.
An inspiring conversation about resilience, challenging limitations, the power of positive self-talk and never giving up on discovering what's possible.
