I’ve been wanting to chat to Cherise Willeit no jokes for about 10 years now as she seems to be someone who’s had her fair share of challenges and yet seems to smile through it all whilst still managing to voice her opinion and power her way forward.

Cherise describes herself as Wife ❤Mother 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Cyclist, Olympian🚴🏼 Seeking adventure with my family. 🏕⛰🏖Proudly South-African living in Germany 🇩🇪 🇿🇦 #ismile4burry

We spoke
- Overcoming grief and loss
- Second chances
- Professional cycling AT THE SAME TIME as being a mom and wife
- Moving back to South Africa
And the future of women's cycling

Cherise has the rare ability to be down to earth and reach for the stars at the same time and one thing that has struck me over time is just how she smiles through it all!

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

PS Apologies for the sound blips on occasion - technology wasn't smiling on me during the day of the interview but I didn't want to let the opportunity pass.

Take good care of you!
