Hello and welcome back to the Get Your Blowback podcast. Today I'm joined by Annabel Chown,

architect Yoli teacher and breast cancer survivor. Annabelle's incredibly inspiring story has been

published in Red Magazine and The Daily Telegraph and now in her memoir Hidden, Annabelle's

inspiring story is one of hope and acceptance

and I'm so excited to be speaking to her today. On today's episode we spoke all about her diagnosis

of cancer, how slowing down her incredibly fast-paced life, her amazing support from her friends, self-care and yoga with

things that really got her through. It's an incredibly inspiring story. She is an incredibly

powerful woman. And I learned so much from this podcast. Cancer is something that affects so many of us,

friends, family, ourselves, and it can be an incredibly paralyzing and difficult thing to work

through. So I hope that this podcast gives you some insight into it and gives you some really actionable things to take care of

those that we love with cancer and also to help ourselves going through this incredibly

difficult period of time. Let's bring on the inspiring, the incredible Annabel.

Annabel, welcome to the podcast.

Thank you, Madeline, so much for having me on.

I'm really thrilled to be here with you.

No, it's such an honour, and you've just got quite a story to tell, that's for sure.

And I know that you will tell it the best,

but I would just love you to expand. You know, I've been reading your amazing book and all

about your experiences, being diagnosed with breast cancer at 31 at the height of your busy

career as an architect. And for those who haven't yet read it, without giving too much away, could you tell our listeners your story?

Yeah.

So I was 31 years old and I had this like really full on job as an architect working for one of the top design-led practices in London.
