In this interview, Tom Randall meets with Anoushé Husain to chat about her life; including her professional career, competing as a paraclimber, as well as the many adversities that Anoushé has had to face. 

Anoushé Husain is a paraclimber who we've been planning to interview for sometime now, but as will become apparent when you listen to this podcast, we kept getting put back by setbacks! 2020 was an extremely tough year for most of the world and even more so for Anoushé. As well as getting through the pandemic and surviving the difficulties of living on her own without care support, she has faced some huge setbacks in her health again this year. 

Born missing her right arm below the elbow, Anoushé has survived cancer, learnt to live (and climb well) with EDS all whilst being an incredible advocate for paraclimbers, diversity and equality. Not only is she a huge force for good, she has some amazing insights and experiences to share with others in how she deals with setbacks, her attitude around resilience and what it means to keep pushing on, no matter what.  

Not only is Anoushé someone who's prepared to challenge and push their beliefs, she is also someone who's engaged with changing the beliefs and attitudes of our others around us. There is so much to be gleaned from this interview.... get involved!
