She's been a household name for over three & a half decades so it was a real privilege to have Col. Dame Kelly Holmes MBE as a guest on 'Pause. And Rewind...'
I've actually met Kelly (she/her) a few times over the last year & a half and got to dance in the parade with her at Brighton Pride in torrential rain whilst marching for the #transpeoplearelovedcampaign and even got to have a sunny run with her along the beachfront. Yes she's very fast, no I could not keep up.
We all know her as a gold medal scoring Olympian but Kelly has achieved so much more than that, from her charitable work through to her public speaking, challenges and love of community - which has become fundamental to how she is showing up for the LGBTQ+ community.
She radiates warmth, energy & a free spirit. And if you've been following Kelly since her coming out story, you'll get a sense of why and it was gorgeous chatting to her about how the Kelly we see now is the happiest, most authentic she's ever felt. Listen in and enjoy.
Psssssst. Go grab a copy of her new book Unique. we only mention it a few times in the episode - PLUG PLUG PLUG!
