Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM.

After being crushed under a 1 TONNE (2200lbs) bale of hay, her Olympic dreams were shattered.
But what Kelda Wood MBE has done since that life-changing accident is nothing short of incredible.
From being the first adaptive rower to row the Atlantic - solo - to helping survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing and many others living with life changing injuries, illnesses or trauma with her charity Climbing Out, Kelda lives her life by her own personal mantra:
“It’s not about saying ‘I can’t’… It’s about saying, ‘how can I?’”
This is episode 8 of The Starting Line Podcast and we've been incredibly excited to bring this one to you all.

About The Starting Line Podcast
From a turbulent childhood marred by domestic violence, addiction and crime to being named the #1 most influential PR person, my journey has been anything but conventional.
At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time, and left the chaos of my family council house, determined to rewrite my story and break the cycle so many understandably struggle to.
By 30, I was a successful agency owner with a #1 best-selling book. We were working with some of the UK’s leading brands, entrepreneurs and celebrities, building, shaping and protecting reputations, using my influence to raise more than a million pounds for sick children.
Hosted by me, Rich Leigh, The Starting Line Podcast is your weekly dose of inspiration, featuring powerful interviews with entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes, philanthropists and more. Together, we explore the themes of curiosity, resilience, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of success, proving that your starting line doesn't define your potential.
Join me every Monday as we discuss life's challenges with positivity, perseverance and a touch of silliness.
