Description

In this week's episode of The Netmums Podcast, Wendy and Alison are joined by double Olympic champion and winner of BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Dame Kelly Holmes. 



Dame Kelly opens up about her early years, growing up as a mixed-race child in Kent, and the pivotal moments that shaped her. From being inspired by her PE teacher to joining the army and eventually conquering the world of athletics, she also discusses the impact of the military's ban on homosexuality and her eventual coming out in 2022.

Dame Kelly also shares her strategies for maintaining her wellbeing, the importance of balance, and the newfound freedom she feels in being her true self. She offers invaluable advice to parents on encouraging their children, especially girls, to stay active and engaged in sports.
