Vulnerability is calling out your mistakes in a public arena. Was it the right thing to do or not?

Norwegian biathlete (combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting) 28 year old Sturla Holm Laegreid won bronze in the Winter Olympics. He is better known for his live TV confession.

He admitted to cheating on his girlfriend of 6 months to an affair 3 months ago.

"I had the gold medal in life, and I am sure there are many people who will see things differently, but I only have eyes for her. Sport has come second these last few days. Yes, I wish I could share this with her."

He is hoping this public apology wins her back.

"I want to be a good role model, but I have to admit when I make mistakes."

Zahra Nader - Afghan journalist. Editor-in-chief of Zan Times, an Afghan women-led media in exile that covers human rights in Taliban controlled Afghanistan

From a newsroom in Kabal to the New York Times in 2016 where she reported stories that rarely made it into Afghan media: the lives of single mothers, the government’s use of virginity tests, the quiet defiance of women simply trying to live freely.

2017, Zahra moved to Canada and studied a master’s in Communication and Culture, then began a PhD in Women and Gender Studies, researching the political history of Afghan women from the 1960s to the 1990s.

In August 2021, the Taliban returned to power. It was May 2022 - the Taliban banned women from appearing in public without a burqa, and without a male chaperone.

That moment became the foundation of Zan Times. “Zan” means “woman” in Dari.

Zan Times began training the next generation of women journalists. Training 70 women journalists in 2024/5. Publishing the stories of women inside Afghanistan - risking their lives sharing horrendous stories.

Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean aka Baldrick.

December 20 2025 Red Carpet Event in LA he received a Lifetime Achievement Award.

He used this opportunity to share the following:

“We sit here surrounded by diamonds and artistic glory while the world outside is falling apart. If your voice can move millions and you choose not to use it for those who have no voice, then you are not creating change—you are creating noise.

If you have more than you need, it no longer belongs only to you. Your responsibility is to lift up those who are still beneath you.”

He announced - all profits from his archived works and future creative releases—estimated at 160 million USD—will be donated to fund women’s health research, climate action initiatives, and arts education for underprivileged children.

“Legacy is not built on what you earn. It is built on what you give.”

A story of hope and resilience 🙏

Imagine abuse at the hands of your grandmothers partner. Imagine a drug and alcohol addicted mother. Imagine a childhood in and out of care homes. Su***de seems like the only way out.

Then on November 3, 1984 you are abducted at gunpoint!

Blindfolded, r***d and tortured at gunpoint for 26 hours! What would you do? Lisa McVey chose to live! She tried on all senses sight, smell, touch, sound, taste. Clenching her jaw so she could see beneath the blindfold.

Resilience and survival kicked in! Reverse psychology at play! Eliciting sympathy explaining as her fathers carer she was the only one who could help him. He released her.

The police didn't believe her. She left DNA and finger prints everywhere! So quick thinking.

Bobby Joe Long, who was responsible for at least 10 murders and over 50 rapes, gunshot arrested November 16, 1984, for sexual assault and kidnapping of McVey. He was executed on May 23, 2019.

McVey - she became a deputy sheriff. Truly remarkable.

Celebrating a hero - who is brave and courageous! We don't know our limits until they are really tested!

13 year old Austin Appelbee - He swam 4km which took 4 hours in open shark infested ocean waters, dumping his life jacket half way, because his mum and 2 siblings drifted out to sea when their inflatable took on too much water. On land he ran another 2km!!

He recently failed his swimming assessment - unable to swim 350 metres continuously.

He told himself, "Not today. I have to keep going."

I love this story because it shows the power of the mind over body and highlights what we are capable of - what is the story we are telling ourselves.

Resilience arises when the situation is tough enough to challenge us!
