My guest today is remarkable and has such a motivational story of resilience, perseverance, discipline and a positive mindset.

Sophie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was just 4 months old and was only given 15 years to live. Her achievements fly in the face of everyone who told her she couldn’t possibly do it. She’s climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, paddle boarded from the Bahamas to Florida, and completed 50km and 100km ultra-marathons to name a few!

In this episode, we discuss Sophie’s incredible journey and how she managed to keep such a strong positive mindset after being told she only had 2 years to live when she was 19.
