    99. Charley Boorman on severe dyslexia, loss and the motorbike crash that almost claimed his life

    You know him from his epic road trips with Ewan McGregor in Long Way Round, Down and Up but adventurer Charley Boorman’s life is full of journeys of an entirely different kind … of personal challenge, crisis and resilience. As a child actor Charley, the son of director John Boorman, starred in movies including The Emerald Forest but severe dyslexia got in the way.  He then faced the devastating loss of his beloved sister before his own health crisis with cancer.   Working as a builder, Charley found his true purpose and passion after becoming friends with fellow motorbike obsessive actor Ewan McGregor.  Their hugely successful TV show followed, as did a series of crashes – one in 2018 that almost claimed Charley’s life.   He continues to embrace a life of daring adventure proving that, for him, action truly is the antidote for despair.   Links     Charley’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charleyboorman/?hl=en Charley’s website: https://www.charleyboorman.com/   Charities:  UNICEF: http://www.unicef.org.uk/ Dyslexia Action: http://dyslexiaaction.org.uk United World Schools: http://www.unitedworldschools.org/   Stream/buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm     Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk       Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682     This podcast is brought to you by Crisis What Crisis?

    98. Sarah de Lagarde on surviving horror, saying ‘thank you’ to her lost limbs and a return to Kilimanjaro

    On the night of September 30, 2022, at High Barnet station, Sarah de Lagarde slipped between the train and the platform.   Trapped there, unseen and unheard, Sarah was hit by the train as it left the station, severing her right arm. 11 minutes after she first fell, she was struck by a second tube as it entered the station, crushing her right leg.   In the aftermath of this unimaginable accident, Sarah faced long term physical and emotional challenges. Yet, with resilience and an unyielding spirit, Sarah has embarked on a journey of recovery and of advocacy.   She recently climbed Kilimanjaro in August to raise money for STAND, a charity that supports amputees in conflict zones and developing countries.   Sarah’s story is one of unbelievable strength, of putting an appalling crisis to positive work for others without bitterness. An episode that tells a truly shocking story but also provides insight and learnings for us all.   Links     Sarah’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sjdelagarde/?hl=en Sarah’s website: www.sarahdelagarde.com   Charities:  STAND https://stand.ngo/2024/05/30/we-are-stand/   Stream/buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm     Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk      Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682     This podcast is brought to you by Crisis What Crisis?

    97. Dylan Jones on a violent childhood, recovery from rape and life shaping headlines

    Dylan Jones is a true titan of the world of media … someone who has helped shape the cultural landscape of the UK for the last four decades.   A lad from High Wycombe who rose to become one of the best connected and sharpest operators here and in the US … along the way editing GQ magazine 22-year years, writing or editing over 25 books and picking up a cabinet full of awards including an OBE.  He is now Editor in Chief of London’s Evening Standard.   Dylan’s latest book – his memoir These Foolish Things, tells the story of this successful, glamourous life in rich detail, but is also a moving, revealing story of success in spite of a number of deeply personal crises.   Dylan’s childhood was blighted by physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his ex-RAF officer father – beatings that left him with a stammer and scars you don’t see.  Having escaped to seek freedom and a life in London, Dylan – as a 17-year-old – was raped.   Throughout this courageous and, at times difficult, conversation, Dylan’s resilience and, as he puts it, ‘very particular’ approach to crisis shines through.   Links     Dylan’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DylanJones/?hl=en-gb   Charities Hoffman process: https://www.hoffmaninstitute.co.uk/about-the-process/ Rape Crisis: https://rapecrisis.org.uk/find-a-centre/   Books These Foolish Things (2024): https://www.amazon.co.uk/These-Foolish-Things-Dylan-Jones/dp/1408719851   Stream/buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm    Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk       Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682     This podcast is brought to you by Crisis What Crisis?
