Do.Did.Will. A Podcast for Aspiring Minds

Best selling Author and Blogger Clare Pooley (The Sober Diaries/The Authenticity Project and The Sober Mummy Blog) joins me this week on the "Life Cast" to talk about her Life.

In 2019 I chose a life without alcohol and found "The Sober Diaries" on a bookshelf. After reading through a few chapters I reached out to Clare and was amazed when she wrote me back. Throughout my first year of this new path, Clare was gracious with her time and would check in from time to time to answer my questions and give some advice.

In December of 2019 I was in London and was able to arrange a chat with Clare to discuss her journey into sobriety and she joined me backstage at the 02 Arena!

We discuss:

Be sure to stick around for 15 min after as Clare called back to update me on her world in 2020 and we add it to the mix.

In 1980, Canada was introduced to one of its greatest Canadians when Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope run across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

After 143 days and over 5,000 kilometres (all on one leg), the journey abruptly ended when Terry's cancer returned. Terry was forced to return to his home in British Columbia, Canada, and sadly was never able to complete the journey.

Since then, the story has been told in countless movies, books, articles, and documentaries around the globe. Every year, people pay tribute to his legacy through the annual Terry Fox Run. 

Bill Vigars was with Terry Fox on the Marathon of Hope and joins me this week to discuss his time with Terry - just in time for the 40th Anniversary of the Marathon of Hope!
