Headstrong

Olympic medals are hard to come by. You have to dedicate large parts of your life to the sport to achieve such a feat. That is exactly what Becky has done. We chatted about resilience, getting to the top and the support of her family, as well as the lack of support from the British Swimming team after finding success.Don't forget to sign up to Green Chef using my code HEADCHEF for 40% off your first box, and 20% off the next three!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/headstrongpodcast.

David Millar has had a turbulent cycling career, being banned for taking PEDs. We sat down to chat about how these experiences of illegal drug taking left David mentally, and how it affected both him, his family and friends. This was an incredibly eye opening conversation, revealing significant truths about drug taking within the peleton, and the hard work David now does to keep cycling clean.Don't forget to sign up to Green Chef using my code HEADCHEF for 40% off your first box, and 20% off the next three!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/headstrongpodcast.

Former Love Islander Belle Hassan joined me on Headstrong to talk about growing up with a famous Dad, and what that experience was like. It did not rub off on her though, and was never that interested in the spotlight. During Belle's teenage years, she had an experience with an ex that led to self-harming, because she blamed herself for their relationship breakdown. In reality, there were plenty of things going on, which we talk about, and now she understands that she was a victim of gaslighting and manipulation, but does not blame anyone. This is a really deep, honest conversation, and I hope you enjoy listening to the deep and honest words of Belle Hassan.

My first bonus episode of this 7th series is with England and Gloucestershire Cricketer James Bracey. James was given the opportunity to represent the England Test team against New Zealand in the Summer of 2021, but unfortunately had a pretty tough time on and off the field. The media treated him poorly, as did the public, and it affected James mentally. I talked to James about his experiences on and off the field, and how he navigated this period of his life.
