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.
