Hetty Kingston is an adventurer, author, event organiser and a self-confessed data geek. She is passionate about improving accessibility and inclusion in the outdoors and her many achievements include organising the Women's Trad Festival, Peak Gravel Gang and the Running Out of Time relay between COP26 and COP27. When she's not up to her eyeballs in spreadsheets and logistics, she relaxes by climbing, mountain biking and wild swimming, often with her twin toddlers in tow - they have even accompanied her on a bikepacking race in Switzerland…

Our conversation centres on identity and transition - the profound shifts that often occurs as we move into motherhood, but that are also prevalent at different stages of our lives, whether parents or not. We reflect on how we can navigate these changing dynamics, as well as how our external and internal resources ca

n support this. This is an honest and reflective conversation about the realities of losing and finding ourselves alongside the needs and expectations of others and how doing hard things can be the key to so much more.

Having spent a couple of decades as an air traffic controller and experiencing two life-wrenching events, she rediscovered her passion for storytelling whilst experiencing the transformative effects of cold-water swimming for the first time. Trained in coaching psychology, she combines her years as an observer of human behaviour in high stress environments with her love for listening to people’s tales around the shores of a lake; mug of steaming hot tea in hand.

Her latest book “Breaking Waves” is an exploration into the primal powers of femininity and water with stories gathered from around the world that demonstrate the power of connection and humanity in an often challenging world.This is a powerful and honest conversation focused on Emma’s motivation to write Breaking Waves, the stories that continue to fuel her and our experiences of grief and how we navigate this in our lives.

Recently I have had a number of conversations with friends and clients about guilt - and specifically the guilt we can feel when we take time for ourselves to do things that we love or need. Guilt is a complex interaction between the standards we set for ourselves (or are set by others…) and our assessment of how our behaviour meets those standards. So telling ourselves that we “shouldn’t” feel guilty rarely does anything to temper it! I’ve recorded this video and pod episode to delve a bit deeper into guilt - exploring the causes, when it is helpful and less so and ultimately what we can do about it when it is counterproductive to what we need. I hope you find it helpful - please do let me know what you think!
