Martha shares her five Story Islands — My mum’s hotline for mums, Reading William Godwin, Learning about the internet at 21, Learning to walk again, and Reading War & Peace — as we explore how environments shape us, how resilience is built, and why leadership must create hope.

We talk about:

• Nature vs nurture, justice, and early idealism

• Being one of the only women in the early tech sector

• Learning to walk again after a life-changing accident

• Finding light and possibility in difficult times
