This week, I’m joined by the phenomenal Louise Butcher – a woman who runs topless as a powerful celebration of her post-breast cancer body. Louise shares her experience of living with and learning from breast cancer, and how losing her breasts transformed her life. We discuss the realities of health anxiety, the shock of diagnosis, and the journey through double mastectomy and flat closure. Louise describes how running topless became both a statement and a source of strength, helping her reclaim her body and inspire others facing similar journeys. Our chat unpacks grief, survival, body acceptance, and why sometimes the most liberating thing you can do is run in your pants. If you or someone you know needs hope – and a powerful reminder that scars can be a symbol of survival not shame – this episode will lift your spirits and remind you that you’re not alone. Listen, share, and let’s all celebrate living fearlessly, in every sense of the word.
