Katie Piper's story is one of the most extraordinary examples of resilience you'll ever hear.

After surviving an acid attack that left her with life-changing injuries, Katie could have allowed that moment to define her. Instead, she rebuilt her life, found a new sense of self, and became one of the UK's most inspiring voices on confidence, identity and recovery.

In this powerful conversation, recorded live at the Union Chapel in London, Katie joins Pete to talk about overcoming trauma, learning to trust yourself again, and why what happens to you should never define who you become.

They discuss modern masculinity, the qualities that make someone feel truly safe, finding love after adversity, and the lessons Katie hopes to pass on to her daughters.

This is a conversation about resilience, self-worth, vulnerability and the power of choosing your own story.

If you've ever faced a setback, struggled with confidence, or wondered how to move forward after life takes an unexpected turn, this episode is for you.
