“Sometimes a miracle also reveals itself”

In her late 20s, actress Carmen Franceschini was suddenly unable to move. She was suffering from arthritis. "The doctors at the hospital had already given up on me: Either I die from it or I end up in a wheelchair." This shock diagnosis turned her life upside down - but she fought her way back.

In her new book, the ORF radio presenter, who is particularly well-known in Vorarlberg, now writes about "The secret of self-love". Many people pay too little attention to themselves, she says. But taking care of yourself makes life easier. Among other things, she reveals in the interview how you can practise loving yourself more.
