Kelsey Waghorn (Whakaari White Island eruption survivor)

Kelsey Waghorn was a Whakaari White Island tour guide in December 2019 when it erupted. 

This is a powerful and raw conversation with Kelsey. And it is a tough listen in parts, made slightly easier thanks to Kelsey's ability to find the humor and light in the darkest situations. 

We talk about Kelsey and her life before, during and after the eruption, the resilience and courage it takes to navigate life after such a harrowing experience.

Through her journey of healing, both physically and mentally, Kelsey opens up about her struggles with PTSD and how she learned to be kinder to herself.

Her story serves as a stark reminder that even in the darkest of times, laughter and hope can help us heal and move forward.

I loved Kelsey's company so much. She left me feeling inspired, moved and motivated. She doesn’t do much stuff like this so I can’t thank her enough.
