In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with writer, speaker and former lifestyle journalist Elle Halliwell to share one of the most powerful health journeys I’ve ever heard.
Elle built a successful career reporting for some of Australia’s biggest publications including Vogue Australia, Marie Claire and The Australian. But in 2016, her life changed forever.
In the space of just 48 hours, Elle was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and then discovered she was pregnant with her first child.
In this conversation we explore:
• Elle’s childhood and early career in radio and journalism
• The stress and anxiety she experienced in her 20s while building her career
• The moment she discovered she had leukaemia
• Finding out she was pregnant just two days after her diagnosis
• Navigating cancer treatment while carrying her baby
• How she managed her mental health during such an uncertain time
• The role organisations like the Leukaemia Foundation play in supporting families facing blood cancer
• Living with blood cancer and stepping into motherhood with a completely new perspective on life
Elle’s story is one of resilience, courage and finding purpose through life’s most unexpected challenges.
