The Wide Awake Show

008: Samantha Hannah, a well-known TV personality, crashed + burned - and then dared to speak about it publicly


Listen Later

Samantha Hannah shares beautiful stories from her life in this episode: giving birth to her newborn girl, her experience of an eating disorder, and finding herself in hospital after suffering a huge and unexpected panic attack.

Sam experienced a water birth with her first daughter. For a few seconds, the whole world stopped as she and her daughter had a moment of pure, incredible eye contact - and that moment has informed her ever since.

Samantha didn't know how to say no to work. So at the same time as bringing up two small children, being married and running a business, she took on a lot of TV work - and ended up collapsing, finding herself in hospital on a drip. The lesson? In her words, "I didn't listen to my joy."
