jeudi 14 août 2025 • Durée 59:32

In this intriguing episode Rachel O’Connor, Associate Professor in Legal Education, Academic Lead for Personal Tutoring, University of Leeds and Music Director, Patrick Steed, take us into the welcoming, supportive communities of musical theatre and CrossFit, providing safe yet stretching spaces to find and express our authentic selves and do that difficult thing: make new friends as adults.

Rachael describes how the CrossFit community switched exercise from a lonely punishment to an exhilarating rush, whilst Patrick explains how singing songs from musicals together can provide a joyful escape but also a safe and empowering place to dig into difficult emotions. Understand more about the freedom of not having to be the best, but instead allowing leisure to be a place to follow your heart.
