About this episode

<p>My guest today is someone whose life reads like a series of things most of us would consider utterly impossible. </p><br><p>Vicki Anstey is a world record holder, a human performance coach, an entrepreneur and an adventurer — and that only scratches the surface. She was one of the first women to reach the final stages of SAS Who Dares Wins, rowed the mid-Pacific unaided, and in 2024 cycled 3,000 miles across America in one of the toughest endurance races on the planet. She has raced 250 kilometres across the Arctic in minus 35 degrees and across the Savannahs of Kenya in 50 degree heat. Vicki is also a passionate advocate for girls and young women through her role as UK Ambassador for Inspiring Girls International. </p><br><p>She is a perfect Midpoint guest because at the heart of everything she does is a belief that we are all capable of so much more than we think — and her own life is the proof. Her brilliant new book, Other People Are Like The Weather, is published by Northside House and is out on the 17th of June in hardback from Waterstones and Amazon.
