Karen has always been passionate about exploring the great outdoors. But when she was just 21 years old, she fell while climbing a sea cliff. The life-changing accident left her paralysed from the chest down. But she didn’t let that stop her from doing what she loved the most - going on adventures. She has since skied across icecaps, hand-cycled the world’s biggest mountain ranges, and even become a British paralympic gold medallist. Karen is now gearing up for her biggest adventure yet, a record-breaking journey across the Antarctic. It will be the first time any woman who can’t walk has been to the South Pole and will be an enormous mental challenge as well as a physical one.

S2 Ep3: An extraordinary ordinary activist on calling out injustice
Julie Siddiqi is someone who finds it impossible to stay silent when she sees injustice happening. She's a Muslim convert, a campaigner and a women's rights activist, with a list of accomplishments so long it would take a whole episode just to go through them all. Among them are the Open My Mosque campaign, which fights inequality in UK mosques, and Together We Thrive, an organisation that connects Muslim women to people of all backgrounds.
