Dr Wendy White was out running when a cyclist called back, ‘Careful, there are runners coming.’ Wendy looked behind her. And when I called her a swimmer after she’d swum three kilometres in the sea? She was quite sure she wouldn’t call herself that.

I loved those two moments. They got me thinking about how long it can take for a word to catch up with who we already are, and how freeing it can be to try something, be glad we did it, and leave it there.

In this week’s Life, Love & Legacy Insights, I’m reflecting on my conversation with Wendy, an NHS GP, runner and writer, and what her stories reminded me of in thinking about identity and possibility.

In this episode

• What Wendy means when she calls being an author her ‘new runner’.
• How a video about vaginal dryness became a way to make people laugh, feel less alone and get information they can trust.
• Why I call my first coaching conversations possibility calls.
• What a stick of rock has to do with being in flow and feeling more like yourself.
• One small way to try something you’re curious about and see what you discover.

And this time, the question I ask every guest is yours to answer. Who are you now, and who are you becoming?

If you missed my full conversation with Wendy, you’ll find it in Episode 37: Taking a wiggly route.
