## Resource

Locked inside her body, Kate could hear and see everything but could tell anyone. A worst nightmare. Kate Allatt was a fit and healthy mother of three when her life changed overnight. After being sent home from hospital with severe headaches, she collapsed and fell into a coma. When she woke, she was diagnosed with Locked-In Syndrome. Fully conscious, but unable to move or speak. From the first flicker of an eye and against all expectations, Kate slowly relearned how to communicate, walk again, and rebuild her life. Sixteen years on, her story is one of extraordinary determination and hope, and today, she shares it with us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
