Sally Orange: Resilience and Recovery
<p><strong>Podcast Episode: Resilience, Leadership and Mental Health with Sally Orange MBE</strong></p><p>In this powerful episode, we sit down with Sally Orange MBE - former British Army Major, record-breaking endurance athlete, mental health campaigner and award-winning charity fundraiser - to explore what true resilience really looks like.</p><br><p>From completing the legendary Marathon des Sables to racing 3,000 miles across America in the Race Across America, earning six Guinness World Records and four Invictus Games medals, Sally has continually pushed the boundaries of mental and physical endurance. Yet behind the extraordinary achievements lies a deeply personal journey through chronic depression and anxiety - experiences that now shape her authentic, compassionate leadership voice.</p><br><p>Sally shares practical, hard-won strategies for performing under pressure, building resilience in extreme environments, and leading courageous conversations around mental health. With warmth, humour and humility (often delivered in her signature slice-of-orange outfit), she challenges organisations and individuals alike to rethink how we support wellbeing and unlock human potential.</p><br><p>Recognised with the Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award and appointed MBE for services to charity and mental health, Sally’s story has featured on BBC Breakfast and The Kelly Clarkson Show, among others - but in this conversation, you’ll hear the unfiltered lessons behind the headlines.</p><p>This is an episode about courage, compassion, and the kind of leadership that creates lasting impact.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Kiko Matthews: The Adventurer Who Defied Odds
<p><strong>In this episode of the Inspiring Women Leaders podcast, we sit down with world-record-breaking adventurer Kiko Matthews—one of the most impressive and resilient women of our time.</strong></p><br><p>Kiko became the fastest woman in history to row the Atlantic Ocean solo and unsupported, completing the 3,284-mile journey in just 49 days. But her real story begins long before the record: after surviving two life-threatening pituitary tumours and Cushing’s disease, Kiko rebuilt her life with a fierce commitment to adventure, nature, and community.</p><br><p>She talks candidly about navigating extreme physical and mental challenges, the mindset required to take on the impossible, and how adversity shaped her purpose. Kiko also shares her passion for environmental activism—from cycling 6,900 km around the coast of the UK to lead 78 community beach cleans, to championing global initiatives that spark collective action for social change.</p><br><p>Uplifting, raw, and deeply motivating, Kiko’s story reminds us of the power of human resilience and the impact one person can make when they choose courage over comfort. This is an episode that will inspire you to rethink your limits and step boldly into your own potential.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
