#2: From High-Flying Body Language Expert to COVID Survivor: Carol's Journey
🟡In this episode of The Spots of Time podcast, host Angela Kanwar interviews Carol Railton, a top-ranked global business body language expert who travelled to 47 countries and worked with major companies before 2020. 🟡After developing a worsening cough during the pandemic, Carol was hospitalized with COVID, pneumonia and blood clots, later discovering severe heart damage leading to heart failure and a pacemaker, plus repeated fainting and a critical time in resuscitation. 🟡Living alone with no phone or belongings in hospital, she relied on kindness from a local coffee shop waitress, then faced major limitations at home, carers, and relearning how to breathe and speak. 🟡Carol pragmatically sold her house, moved into a rented riverside flat, and slowly regained function, resumed a first work talk after three years, started support work for women with pacemakers, and built community through feeding swans and organising a monthly pub quiz.00:00 Welcome to Spots of Time00:32 Carol Before the Pandemic02:10 COVID Collapse and Hospital04:04 Life After Discharge06:23 Fainting and Pacemaker12:31 Facing Death in Resus14:12 Downsizing and Fresh Start16:50 First Work After Illness18:07 New Tools and Charity22:32 Swans and New Friends27:03 Living With Restrictions29:21 Final Thanks and Outro#SpotsOfTime #podcast #bodylanguageexpert #covidrecovery #covidsurvivor #pacemaker #inspiring #resilience #longcovidawareness #longcovidFind social media links for Spots of Time at:✳️ https://linktr.ee/SpotsofTime✳️Please like, subscribe, follow and comment
