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 Ep4: An extraordinary ordinary ex-police chief on fighting misogynistic officers
Sue Fish spent her entire career in the police, working her way up to Nottinghamshire chief constable. In a field dominated by men, Sue did radical work to champion women both in and out of the force. In 2016, she became the first chief constable to record misogyny as a hate crime. During her career, Sue saw the best of the police but also the worst. Since retiring, she’s opened up about her experience of sexism throughout her time in the force, to try to make a change for the next generation of officers. Sue retired in 2017, but now runs a consultancy firm where she continues her work campaigning on women’s safety
