"We were left. It was the community who showed up." This episode is a powerful, heart-opening conversation with Zoe, founder of All For One Community Hub, mental health advocate, and survivor of the Grenfell Tower fire. From losing her home in one of the UK’s most devastating tragedies to finding purpose through community healing, motherhood, and activism, Zoe shares her deeply personal story with raw honesty and courage. We talk about what really happens after trauma, the failures of the system, and the power of lived experience in shaping change. Zoe opens up about navigating PTSD, birth trauma, postnatal depression, and how her daughter (who was unknowingly in the boxing ring with her!) became a symbol of rebirth and resilience. 🎧 In this episode we cover: * Life before and after Grenfell: what really happened in the aftermath * Building a community hub for healing, unity, and opportunity * Zoe’s experience of postnatal depression and emotional recovery * Why we need more mental health support for both mums and dads * Birth trauma, premature delivery, and finding strength through adversity * Using your voice as a tool for healing and advocacy * Navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship as a form of legacy If you're a woman who’s experienced loss, rebirth, or simply needed to find her power again, this one will hit home.
