In this episode we talk to, Tricia Thompson. Tricia is from Scotland and talks to us about her favourite character called Merida from Brave.

Like Merida, Tricia loves adventure having lived & worked in Sydney, New York, Abu Dhabi and volunteered in India. She also loves running & walking in nature and is creating a business to get more people active & giving to charity.

Tricia’s advice for being brave?

It’s inside all of us and we can choose to take that deep breath and be brave. It can feel uncomfortable but after that first step it becomes easier and we feel stronger inside.

We loved finding out how to feel and become brave from Tricia!

We are joined by Karen Darke (MBE). Karen is an amazing person who won the Paralympic gold in the sport of Paralympic hand-cycling in Rio 2016. It was the 79th medal for Britain, and 79 being the elemental number for Gold led to Karen creating Quest 79: Find Your Inner Gold. We discuss Quest 79 and why we aim to publish 79 episodes by the end of 2021! www.karendarke.com @myquest79
