She continued: "Though they couldn’t guarantee I would ever speak or eat normally again, I’m British and full of loud opinions, so there was no stopping me. It’s a challenge, but I consider myself lucky that I can still enjoy a hamburger and, more importantly, a glass of wine.

"Every challenge I’ve had with my self-confidence led me here," Goss added. "Imperfect? Sure. But I am showing the f—k up anyway, and you can, too."
