A cancer diagnosis, an accident, a miscarriage. In Good Shape looks at how to overcome devastating life events.

One moment you are looking forward to a bright future, the next you're dealt an unexpected blow, leaving all your plans in ruins. On In Good Shape we meet people who have managed to find confidence and courage again after such an event — from a cancer diagnosis to an amputation. The show also looks at the causes, myths, and devastation of miscarriage. And we ask a resilience expert for her tips when life throws you a curveball.
