Broken Oars Podcast Returns! In this episode, you’ll learn such things as why God is no good at choruses; why the Northern one reads male rabbits; what constitutes a hymnal banger; why Amazonian tribesmen can sing Livin’ on a Prayer; why rowers don’t play in the NBA and why Metallica were right to sack Dave Mustaine … ‘What?’ we hear you say. ‘What is this nonsense? Where is the second part of the interview with the incredible and inimitable Sally Kettle, ocean-rower and adventuress, that you promised?’ (Yeah. We see you, Thames Tradesmen, at the back there ...). Well, as you know, Broken Oars Podcast has always been the podcast that pushes the envelope of what’s possible in the podcast medium. Diving deep into his knowledge of post-modernism (so, a fairly shallow dive into a fairly shallow puddle, then), the Northern one has thrown away the usual conventions of a podcast (like an intro, a middle bit, an outro and some editing) and decided to leave in the pre-recording conversation your genial hosts were having before the clapperboard clicked. Some would call it bold. Some would call it a tour de force extension of the podcast form. Some, like Thames Tradesmen, would call it two muppets talking smack ... However, alongside our left-field insights, we have, as promised, returned with Part Two of our conversation with the ocean-rower, adventuress, author, motivational speaker, Active Pregnancy Charity Founder and all-round force of nature that is ... Sally Kettle. Now, we know that some of you were holding off listening to this episode until you had both sections to listen to. Well, you now have no excuses. Get it downloaded and get it on! Learn what sort of ocean mega-fauna you can expect to meet on your average Atlantic crossing, and why no Atlantic crossing is average. Why thumbs and sail winches don’t mix. Why elite athletes sometimes don’t have the time, space or perspective to be kind when kindness is what’s needed. How it isn’t setting the goal or reaching the goal that teaches you the lessons that change your life, but the journey towards achieving them - even if you never do. Why those journeys never run smooth; but why it’s the unexpected bumps in the road and waves in the ocean that teach the biggest lessons – even if those lessons aren’t sometimes appreciated at the time. The importance of learning the difference between what’s in your control and what isn’t, and surrendering to the experience - and why vast natural forces are really good at making you realise this. Why you should write your story immediately after the event before you have a chance to intellectually and emotionally self-censor. Decompression after major life events and achievements. Why there are no female adventuresses on TV, while the pale, male and stale rack up series after recommissioned series. How the Active Pregnancy Foundation supports and celebrates female physicality; championing its importance pre- and post-birth, in motherhood and in life. We always say that our current episode is the best we’ve ever recorded In this instance, however, it is. And it’s out in time for the weekend? GET SOME! Bowside? Strokeside? Sally Kettle would have rowed the Atlantic in the time it’s taken you to sort your footplates out. Go and get eaten by sharks.
Broken Oars Podcast returns! (Did you ever doubt that we would? How dare you!) We are delighted to be joined by the ocean-rower, adventuress, author, motivational speaker, Active Pregnancy Charity Founder and all-round force of nature that is Sally Kettle: https://www.sallykettle.com https://www.activepregnancyfoundation.org/ Cramming more into her life so far than most of us would in ten, Sally was the first woman to row across the Atlantic twice from East to West, once with her Mum, before going on to compete in elite sailing races in her quest for life-changing adventures. Going on to be an author, a storied presenter for institutions and audiences as diverse as BBC Radio Four and TED, Sally is also the founder of the Active Pregnancy Foundation and a Trustee of the London Sports Trust and Chair and Ambassador of the Girl Guiding London and South East England region. We were honoured to have a wide-ranging chat with Sally, to the point where we didn't want to cut it at all, meaning this will be our first ever two-hander. In this episode, we touch on such topics as: - The Atlantic rows and why following the impulse to radically change your life rather than putting it off until 'the time is right' can have startling consequences and results. - Why it is the challenges we face, address and overcome in going for our goals that often teach us more than attaining them, even if it might not seem like it at the time. - How the modern world has taken away rites of passage and a graded approach to risk-taking that has disenfranchised and disengaged children, teenagers and young adults, leaving them with a smaller toolkit for dealing with the challenges that all lives inevitably face. - The ways in which society disempowers girls and young women from consistent screen bombardments that promote mental health, self-worth, self-esteem and body issues to cultural mores that disengage the same groups from developing a healthy relationship with themselves and physical activity. - Why if your boat is attacked by a shark mid-ocean, you rarely stop to check which type is eating your rudder. - The importance of institutions and programmes like the Girl Guides in providing 'shaping' experiences that help develop resilience, a thicker 'bark' and a more complete toolkit. - Why kindness is more important than winning - even if it doesn't seem like it at the time. Oh, and that's just in Part One. Your amiable hosts at Broken Oars Podcast are no strangers to inflationary language and repetitive hyperbole, even if we pretend that we don't actually know what either of those two terms mean. In this instance, however, they'll have to make some new adjectives to describe the incredible individual that is Sally Kettle. Truly inspirational and truly inspiring. Stern Four? A shark is eating bow pair. Get some!
Sally Kettle in Web Chat with Derek Arden Derek with Sally Kettle woman talking about rowing the Atlantic ocean from East to west TWICE. Sally shares her secrets on how she planned it, and the leadership challenges, and how her Mum stepped up when her boyfriend pulled out. How Sally raised the money and the £250k extra she raised for her charity. What happens when you are attacked by a shark and how there is no room for wingeing on a 106-day rowing adventure.
Update episode #17. I started reading Sally Kettle's book, Sally's Odd At Sea. I also finished the charity row for 10 million meters and can't wait for the next one. Having some comraderie as a solo rower was really helpful at getting me back on the rower.

The internet can be a nightmare for women trying to navigate the dos and myriad of don'ts for pregnant women, especially when it comes to staying active during pregnancy. Now that she is very much up the duff, Jen wanted to find out more about what she should be doing to stay fit, and fortunately Dr Marlize de Vevo and Sally Kettle of the Active Pregnancy Foundation were on hand to advise. Spoiler alert: there's no such thing as "should".Just to add, while these birds know their stuff, every pregnancy is different and you should always talk to a GP before you embark on a new exercise regime during pregnancy or if you have any concerns.

We first spoke with Sally back at the very start of the Tough Girl Podcast, Sally was one of the first 4 guests. During the first episode we focused on her row across the Atlantic Ocean with her mum who she hadn’t spoken to in 10 years! Since 2015, I’ve heard her give motivational talks, and met Sally on multiple occasions, she’s become a good friend. Sally is also part of the Tough Girl Tribe (closed FB group for guests and patrons of the tough girl podcast). Earlier on this year, her book “Sally's Odd at Sea” was selected for the monthly book club (run by Allison McArthur). So much came out from the discussion, such as the challenges of writing the book, feedback on the cover, working as a humanitarian aid worker, becoming a Personal Trainer and working with the athletes in the gym at the 2012 London Olympics, sailing the last leg of the Clipper Round the World, plus so much more! I decided it would be fab to get Sally back on the podcast to share more about her other adventures and challenges she’s been involved with. Some of the adventures and challenges include: Qualifying as a humanitarian aid worker with Shelterbox and being deployed to two disasters. Joining the incredible ‘1st’ women from the Armed Forces to climb the Chemin De la Liberte. Recording a documentary about the most remote islands in the world. Writing articles for the BBC Magazine and presented them on BBC Radio 4, which included going to the Galapagos to write about El Niño.

There is nothing, she believes, like taking concrete steps to make things happen. Four Thought is a series of talks which combine thought provoking ideas and engaging storytelling.
