Run it like a girl

13/05/2022

We’ve decided this will be the last season of Run it Like a Girl. It’s been a labour of love for four years for both Brian and myself and we’ve been privileged to share over 90 stories of remarkable women. We’ve had episodes trend all over the world including: Canada, US, UK, Australia and Cyprus. I still think there’s lots of stories to tell, and I’m thinking about what might be next.

BUT the reason for the post now is because I’m so thrilled that one of our final guests is my amazing MIL Denyse Mouck. I’ve known her over half my life and I admire her so much. She’s recently published her first book, and it’s amazing to see her in her element. I hope you’ll take a listen, and enjoy the episode as much as I did.

Broken Chair: A Daughter’s JourneyDenyse Mouck is the author of Broken Chair: A Daughter’s Journey - a work of historical fiction that follows the journey of four generations of women as they try to survive the sexist restrictions of their times...
