Speechless
Polly’s put everything into her profession. Then, while presenting on live TV, in a moment of exposure and humiliation she feels her identity unravel and must learn to rebuild it.
Being a TV news anchor was everything to Polly Evans until she was forced to re-evaulate her identity. Her turning point happened in the spotlight – in front of an audience of hundreds of thousands – when she felt deeply exposed and humiliated. It was caused by a physical condition called Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia, but Polly’s journey since then has been one of self-knowledge and finding fulfilment in other ways, including a new career.
She braves the studio for the first time to tell this story to Dr Sian Williams.
