Before we dive in, I’d like to issue a brief content warning. In today’s episode, we discuss sensitive topics, including bereavement, loss, and mental health. These are important but challenging conversations, so please take care as you listen.

Our guest today is the incredible Rhian Mannings, MBE. A Pride of Britain Winner and former PE teacher and leader, Rhian is now the CEO and founder of the charity 2wish, which provides vital support for families experiencing sudden bereavement. Her story is both powerful and inspiring.

We also explore the incredible power of movement and physical activity in transforming lives for the better, reminding us all why we do what we do in the world of PE and sport.

Welcome back, here is another midweek bonus episode. I delve into the catalogue and bring you a conversation with Sam Horton - PE and Swim Lead at a primary school in England. We discuss PE, swimming, planning, leadership and expectations. Sam has also started his own podcast recently, so if you like what he has to say, you might want to have a listen. Enjoy!

Today, I am joined by Louise Hacking - lecture of PE at Leeds Beckett University, Associate for PE Scholar, previous HOD and PE teacher passionate about empowering teachers and removing barriers. In this powerful conversation we discuss periods and sports bras as barriers for young girls and what we might do to address this, including practical solutions and male allyship. Hope you enjoy the episode. Please share :)
