Episode 05: Emma Campbell

Tragedy, Beauty and Magic

In 2010, after a series of devastating miscarriages, Emma became pregnant with triplets. The babies were born prematurely, and then within 3 months the volatile relationship with the father of the triplets and her 7 year old son broke down, leaving her as a single parent to raise the triplets and her son on her own.

When the babies were 5 months old the unimaginable happened, Emma discovered a large lump in her breast and was almost immediately diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. The story that follows is one of the of the often terrifying dance between maternal life and mortality, of devastation and gratitude and of the power of community and female friendships to enable us to resource a innate strength we never knew existed. So if the world is feeling like a dark or difficult place, listen in and let you heart be ignited by the fire of the human spirit.
