Jennie Gow
Jennie Gow is a journalist and broadcaster who has been covering motorsport for over a decade, and is an expert on all things Formula 1. But fast cars are not the main focus of today’s episode; she joins Gabby to talk about an experience away from the track that she never envisaged happening to her at the midpoint. At the age of 45, Jennie suffered a stroke, and has been learning how to walk and talk again over the last two years. Jennie describes what it was like for her; why getting angry helped her find her voice again; and the impact its had on her relationship with her young daughter. She also speaks about her remarkable journey back to broadcasting and her first interview with Lewis Hamilton, why she cries at everything now, and has absolutely no idea what to expect from the menopause as a stroke survivor! Jennie’s story is one of survival, love, and determination, which is not to be missed. Remember, the FAST acronym (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) is a test to quickly identify the three most common signs of stroke.Face weakness: Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?Arm weakness: Can the person raise both arms fully and keep them there?Speech problems: Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say? Is their speech slurred?Time to call 999: if you see any one of these signs.Jennie’s book How to Read F1: Everything you need to know about racing in the fast lane is available now. Hosted on Acast.

Dame Kelly Holmes
Double Olympic champion, Dame Kelly Holmes, joins Gabby to talk about why she is truly living her best life at the midpoint. Kelly explains how she became consumed by fear of being outed and lived like a recluse after her huge success in Athens, but the death of her mum coupled with the pandemic in 2020, brought her to her lowest point and she reluctantly sought psychological help which changed the trajectory of her life. Now she is living more authentically than ever, and learning how she used her sporting success as a mask to hide behind. They also talk about taking the menopause month by month, getting competitive at Park Run, and Kelly’s views on the importance of doing things to keep yourself feeling youthful. Warning: There are references to suicidal thoughts in this podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gabby and Linda talk about how confidence can impact so many things, and why it’s important we manage the way we speak to ourselves - the only thing we can truly control! They also discuss the impact that social media can have on how we feel about ourselves, and ways to build digital resilience and protect ourselves - and our loved ones - online. Linda shares a little about what she has discovered from studying psychodermatology over the last two decades, and explains how our thoughts have a tangible impact on our bodies, especially when it comes to our skin.
