Ep 44 - Imogen Furlong - Caving Expedition Leader
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Imogen Furlong, Imo, has an impressive track record as a cave expedition leader. Imo broke ground leading the first expeditions to the Shan plateau in Myanmar. She's also explored the deepest cave in China, was the first to complete the deepest cave traverse in Mexico, and was part of the team who connected and surveyed the longest cave in India. Her recent cave projects have been to integrate families with young children into expeditions and develop a family expedition methodology.
I sit down to ask her what caving has taught her about resilience, how the death of her mother when she was 18 years old affected her life, and why she is working on 'food resilience' from her Scottish home.
“Caving and exploration has been a big part of my life, but it was the bereavement, through losing my mum at 18, that opened that pathway up to cave exploration in the first place. It shaped my life considerably, and accepting death is inevitable is key to everything thereafter.”

Ep 42 - Jenny Tough - Adventurer and Writer
Friday Dec 08, 2023
Friday Dec 08, 2023
CW: We do mention eating disorders on this episode
What do solo adventurers teach us about resilience? Can we practise resilience to get us through the tough days and adversity we don't choose?
Jenny Tough describes herself as an Adventurer, Storyteller, Mountain Lover. In this episode we talk about solo adventures, fear, depression, eating disorders and what resilience means to her.
She is a writer and adventurer, and an enthusiast for all things endurance challenges, particularly in the mountains. Whether it be a race or a solo adventure, her desire to push her limits has led her to numerous corners of the world.
In 2021 she completed a global challenge to run, solo and unsupported, across a mountain range on every continent, including three world-first traverses. She’s also competed in long-distance bike packing races, including becoming the two-time first woman in the Silk Road Mountain Race and first woman in the inaugural Atlas Mountain Race – considered two of the toughest off-road bike races.
Outside of her personal pursuits, she has worked to get more people outside and challenging their own comfort zones, particularly women and girls, which she has championed by launching a book in 2020 called Tough Women: Adventure Stories.
Her book Solo, out now, is her account of her mountain range project. In it she says “Did I solve all of life’s big questions on this project? No. Did I figure out a few? Actually, yes. Every adventure teaches me something. That’s the value of adventure.”

Ep 41 - Karly Arber - Entrepreneur, Female Founder, and Coach
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Content Warning - We discuss an abusive relationship in this episode.
How do you come back from an abusive relationship, a court case with a famous popstar, and losing all your stock due to a shipping error? Karly has done all this in the last few years and tells us how she did it, and why letting go of shame, embarrassment and a fear of failure was key.
Karly Arber is an entrepreneur, Holistic Health Coach, business coach and trustee of the charity Youth Realities. She is perhaps best known for her business Lenny London, a successful luxury activewear brand. With the success comes a story of resilience and empowerment. Karly endured a physically abusive relationship for 3.5 years and as a result suffered with severe health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and CFS. She ended up bed-bound and hit rock bottom.
Eventually she was able to leave the relationship and embarked on the most life-changing journey, rebuilding her entire life.
In an extra story of resilience, she then had to deal with a court case with one of Britain's most famous popstars, the loss of around £30k worth of her products, and an ongoing fight with her shipping company.
She’s come to talk about her journey, what she has learned, and what resilience means to her.

‘Healing is an ongoing process. That is how to start moving forward. It's not a case of getting a certificate, ticking a box, and saying that I'm healed. It's about accepting what has happened and allowing it to become part of who I am, without it defining who I am, leaving me frozen in time.’ Joe French - Out of Mind
Joe French is a Film maker, Climber, Musician, Barefoot runner, and author.
Combining his love of climbing, mountains and storytelling, Joe taught himself to become a climbing cameraman and started making films on the cliffs of Ben Nevis and beyond. This started a successful career in TV and Joe was soon working as a self-shooting Producer/Director on high profile productions, including recreating Sir Ernest Shackleton’s epic journey of survival in Antarctica.
But Joe has experienced a great deal of trauma and tragedy whilst filming in the mountains. He has been lucky to survive on several occasions. In 2015, he was about to fulfil a dream of a lifetime – to climb Everest and film it, when tragedy struck and Joe found himself at the epicentre of an earthquake which killed nearly 9,000 people. Only a few years previously, his team of Sherpas had been killed in another avalanche, and soon after that, Julie, his wife, was diagnosed with cancer. His experience of Post-Traumatic Stress and the subsequent journeys of healing is the subject of his book Out of Mind, which is out now via Sandstone Press/Vertebrate Publishing.
