  2. A Conversation with Sarra Hoy – Strength in the Stillness

    A Conversation with Sarra Hoy – Strength in the Stillness

    Recorded live at the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh. During this powerful live episode of Women on Top, our Egg Head host Kylie Reid sits down with Sarra Hoy for an unforgettable conversation that left the Lyceum in quiet tears and standing ovation. Sarra opens up about her incredible journey — from a legal career shaped by a curiosity about crime and Death Row, to standing beside her husband, Sir Chris Hoy, through Olympic triumphs, and now navigating both his terminal diagnosis and her own battle with MS. Their love story? Straight out of a movie — love at first sight in Grand Cru, Edinburgh. “I thought he was the most handsome man I’d ever met,” she beams. But it’s Sarra’s reflections on togetherness that truly moved the room. “We’re going to move mountains, and we’re going to do it together. It’s the biggest privilege, becoming a team.” Through years of long-distance, raising two premature babies, and rebuilding after life-altering health news, Sarra’s message is simple yet profound: Be present. Choose life. Embrace joy. Share your story. It’s a conversation full of grace, grit, and the quiet strength of showing up — one day at a time. What we talk about: Meeting Chris Hoy and navigating life in and out of the spotlightSupporting her husband’s Olympic career (and cooking superfood curries on the side!)Raising premature babies and her work with Bliss ScotlandFacing a personal MS diagnosis with strength and perspectiveWhy she believes in the power of storytelling and choosing presence over perfectionRecorded at: The Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh at Women on Top: May 2025 Mentioned in this episode: Bliss ScotlandSamaritansHuge thanks to our sponsors Freeagent.

We explore the fact that 28% of women who run their own businesses charge less than their male counterparts – a direct result of being conditioned to undervalue ourselves. Lauren shares her advice on how to break free from this mindset and start charging what you’re truly worth.  But that’s not all! Kylie also introduces the exciting launch of ⁠⁠egg Business Club⁠⁠, a curated membership for ambitious women ready to grow, connect, and thrive in business.
