Seize Your Adventure Adventure sports, travel and outdoor living with epilepsy

Celebrate good times! December 5th 2023 marks five years since Seize Your Adventure - the podcast sharing stories of adventure and outdoor living with a focus on epilepsy - was launched. After a hiatus, to mark the show's fifth anniversary Fran is revisiting five monumental episodes.
Fran reflects on her interview with Becky Samson, who cycled across Australia while managing her epilepsy. She also recalls the episode where she handed over the reins to listener Frankie, who shared her own story about surfing with epilepsy. Fran also highlights the episode featuring Amanda Plomp, a long-distance runner with epilepsy, and her conversation with Jade Nelson, the show's first guest.
Lastly, Fran revisits the episode about the Outdoor Mindset Adventure Scholarship programme, which allowed her to travel to Colorado for their Summer Summit.
While the podcast's release schedule may be irregular, there are plans to continue producing episodes and sharing other relevant content.

I've delved deep into the archives for this one! Back in 2019, I had a taster session with Archery Fit as part of my 30 at 30 challenge. During the session, I learned the basics of using a bow, and afterwards I sat down with the co-owner, Roman. We had a little chat about archery, and in particular how it’s a very accessible sport for people with conditions such as epilepsy.

Hello Adventurers! And I can't quite believe it but it has been 3 years since I launched the Seize Your Adventure podcast. 
Who knew that a podcast about epilepsy in adventure sports would have such longevity? And whilst I have been abandoning you all ever so slightly, I wanted to mark this 3-year anniversary with something a little bit special. And so, I have decided to start releasing the Patreon episodes to the public.
We're starting with Outdoor Mindset Conversations.
When I created the Outdoor Mindset episode of Season 1, I conducted several interviews and had many conversations. As always, they were fascinating and we could have talked for days. But I only had a half hour episode to tell that story, and many conversations were edited to short soundbites.
This bonus episode brings you some of those conversations. Only lightly edited, you get to hear the interviews with Kalyn Lepre, Kyle Martin, and Jeanie Ringelberg-Quigley. Plus, the full audio that OM Ambassador Jeanie Sroka sent me.
And after listening, you can head back and re-listen to the Outdoor Mindset episode, to see if you can spot what made it into the final piece!
Head to https://www.outdoormindset.org/ to learn more about the organisation.
Thank you for you continued support.

ello Adventurers! Seize Your Adventure has been quite, I know. But there is a good reason for that...
Adventurers - let me introduce you to my new podcast: On The Outside! 
We need to talk about the outdoors.
Not just the epic stories, but the important news, the big events and the social issues that permeate the whole of the outdoors.
This show is for anyone who spends their time outdoors in the UK and wants to engage in the wider outdoor community. Each episode, a diverse panel of enthusiasts and experts from a range of outdoors sports discuss the news stories that matter to them. We'll look at everything from specific sports news, to headline stories about our countryside and environment, and the viral posts that capture outdoors culture - all in a jargon and judgement free way!
If you want to talk about what's going on outside, search On The Outside now wherever you're listening to this, and make sure you sign up to the newsletter ontheoutsidepodcast.co.uk/newsletter

Back in June, I had the honour of being invited on to PODCASTER for a slightly different type of interview... Hosted by V, the Voice of Pod, podcast hosts take a seat in the Podcaster chair, to answer random questions about life and the podcast they have created.
I've done a few interviews now - this was one of the most fun and soul-searching! Do go check them out:
