In this episode, we sit down with Sally Orange MBE, someone who somehow manages to be both utterly extraordinary and completely human at the same time.

A former British Army Major, world record–breaking endurance athlete, mental health campaigner and fundraiser, Sally has built a life around service, resilience and a kind of stubborn optimism that pulls people in. She’s completed some of the toughest endurance challenges on the planet, from the Marathon des Sables to the Race Across America, alongside more than 80 marathons, 8 full Ironmans and even a marathon on every continent dressed as different pieces of fruit. And that’s just the shortlist.

But the real story sits underneath all that, the personal journey through chronic depression and anxiety that has shaped the work she does today. It’s the reason she speaks so openly, and so generously, about what it takes to keep going when everything in you is telling you to stop.

Across three decades, she’s raised over £800,000 for charities, served on the front line as an Army physiotherapist, inspired young people through the Army Cadet Force and championed countless mental health causes. Her warmth and humour, even in the heaviest conversations, make her message land in a way that stays with you.

In this conversation, we explore:

⭐️The real meaning of endurance, beyond medals or miles
⭐️ How to be resilient without losing compassion
⭐️ Why mental health is everyone’s business
⭐️ And the small, practical things that help you rebuild when life eventually knocks you flat

A powerful, honest and uplifting episode with one of the most inspiring voices in the UK today.
