As a child, Charlie Webster, 41, was physically and emotionally abused by one man then groomed and sexually abused by another, her athletics coach. Years later, after completing a 3,000-mile cycling challenge from Europe to South America for charity, ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games, Charlie became critically ill with malaria and was put on life support. After two weeks in a coma, she made a recovery that baffled doctors both in Brazil and the UK.
Now, as she brings out a new book, Why It’s OK To Talk About Trauma, she tells OK! her moving story of survival and resilience… "I used to think there was something wrong with me. When I was younger, I felt very alone and thought that everybody else was happy and living a wonderful life. Meanwhile, I believed I wasn’t good enough.
We internalise the things that happen to us, especially from a young age, because that’s how we grow and learn. From the age of seven, I was physically and emotionally abused by a man. We often talk about adults who are in domestic abuse situations, but the effect it has on children is so severe.
We learn about ourselves from other people when we’re small, but there are so many that have been brought up amidst domestic abuse. It is sadly very common. In my teens, I was then groomed and sexually abused by my running coach and, for a long time, I detached from my emotions as a way to cope.
I could pretty much survive anything. I was seen as a really strong person, because, from a young age, that’s how I had to be to survive. But as an adult, it became a problem because, to me, love was something that was conditional, not unconditional.

Imagine a world where “Bluey” didn’t know what a dunny or a bin chicken was, or where she sounded more like Skye from Paw Patrol than her true-blue Queenslander self.It’s indeed awful to imagine, but according to multi-platinum musician Megan Washington, that’s almost what happened when Ludo Studio was trying to work out how to take the beloved show around the world.“I remember 100 years ago, when I was in the Ludo offices and the question of the day, or the problem of the day was, were they going to have to dub the show into an American accent for American audiences?” Megan, who plays Bluey’s teacher Calypso, said on an interview with Robin Bailey and Kip Wightman on KIIS 97.3 [Australia radio station].“It was the true question of the day: ‘How are we going to deal with this? What’s going to happen?”In the end, the idea of dubbing “Bluey” was impossible; removing the accents can’t erase the inherent Australian-ness of the show.Megan said she was impressed with the decision not to dub.
