Michelle Owen
Even as a teenager, Michelle Owen was always prepared to challenge stereotypes. Her love of football has always been with her and when she was forced to play netball at school, she did ‘keepie-uppies’ with the ball until she got sent to the corner.
After a spell as breakfast DJ, she’s now doing the job she loves – reporting on football on Sky Sports and Radio 5 Live.
In this podcast, there is a recurring theme of overcoming adversity from succeeding in a male dominated career through to fighting the debilitating illness, Hyperemesis Gravidarm, during pregnancy.
We’re sure you’ll find this podcast with Michelle Owen an inspiration.

Colin TapscottColin Tapscott is someone I have known almost all my life and is a close friend of my family. I wanted to interview him for this podcast because he is a natural leader.

Having left college, Colin pursued a career in teaching and became a headteacher before he was 30. He has followed a successful career as a headteacher with establishing his own training business called Everyday Leader and he has his own book on leadership being published this year. In this podcast, we not only explore Colin’s professional career, but we find out about his teenage years and how his faith has influenced the choices and decisions he has made.

It was great to talk to Colin as he is easy to listen to and a really inspirational guy. I hope you enjoy our conversation too!

Sandra HartleyThis is the first episode of series 2 in Talking Teenage Life.

From relocating from the country of her birth, to setting up her own Dance School business, Sandra Hartley has a fascinating story to tell. I have known Sandra since I was three, when she started teaching me ballet. It was amazing to get an idea of how she became the inspirational women she is today. Sandra talks about her time working in a circus and her passion of dance. She also explains the joy she gets from teaching 3 year olds to skip, through to helping her more advanced students pursue a career in dance. We think this is an insightful podcast to begin our new series.
