Virginia suffered an injury at work that resulted in surgery and subsequent chronic pain.
Her experience of not being heard, told she was fine, that the surgery was a success and that she could return to work were all out of alignment with what was really happening. And that was her pain.
Virginia hit some real low points, but despite this kept going and found a way when she found the right people. They made her feel welcome, listened and explained this for the first time. She was on the right path.
Now Virginia spends her time supporting others and driving change. She knows what it is like to be on the journey.
In this episode we explore Virginia's lived experience, what is was like, how she moved on, what she does now to fulfil a sense of purpose and to keep shaping a positive future.
I think you'll find this conversation interesting and inspiring.
