Episode 02: Terri White

The Miracle Of Love

Welcome to the second episode of the Human podcast: a place to hear extraordinary human stories. In this first series we are celebrating Human stories of Resilience', and exploring how it enables us to overcome, survive and thrive out of the most impossible experiences. Our guest this week is the sensational Terri White. Terri is the Sunday Times Best selling author of 'Coming Undone', a Broadcaster, and Editor of Empire Magazine. 10 years ago Terri left London for New York, for the biggest job of her career editing Time Out Magazine. To all who knew her, she appeared to be living the dream, winning award after award and named one of Folios Top Women in US Media. But behind the thin veil of her professional life, the legacy of her buried childhood trauma was resurrecting itself from the grave: a childhood spent in extreme poverty, whilst surviving repeated sexual and physical violence at the hands of a number of her mother’s partners. The story that follows is one of both raw, visceral courage and the ultimately healing power of love.
