Wendy Searle @betweensnowandsky

Welcome to a new episode of the Podcast! In this episode I chat to Wendy Searle, a Mum of 4 and polar explorer.

Wendy talks about the fact that she only started to be more active after the birth of her 3rd child when she realised she needed to  do something for herself.

Wendy then became fixated on the Antarctic  and managed to ski the 715 miles to the South Polo solo and unsupported in 2020/21 in 42 days. In December 2022 she embarked on another expedition to the South Pole hoping to break the record but had to bring the record attempt to an end. When we spoke Wendy had only just returned to the UK and talks about what went wrong and what she has learnt from failing.

We talk about how her family and children view her expeditions and how she copes with mum guilt. 

Wendy is really inspiring and I hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening.
