What does it take to keep moving forward when managing a chronic condition is part of everyday life?

In this episode of In Fearless Conversation, we’re joined by Anna Noelle Ormrod, a member of 261 Club Uk, Lune Valley, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2001 during early pregnancy. Anna shares the realities of living with diabetes, including the challenges others may not see and the extra planning and care involved in running with the condition.

We also talk about what brought Anna to 261 Fearless in 2020, how being part of a supportive running community has influenced her confidence, and how her understanding of being fearless has evolved over 25 years of living with diabetes.

Anna’s story is a reminder that being fearless doesn’t mean having everything figured out. Sometimes, it means adapting, asking for support, and continuing to discover what you’re capable of.

And stick around for the final question: What exactly is a jelly baby?

Are we over-complicating what it means to be healthy? Between workout routines, wellness advice, and the pressure to do it all, it's easy to forget that taking care of ourselves can start with simple, everyday choices.

In this episode of In Fearless Conversation, we sit down with Dr. Jennifer Beynon, a physician and diabetes specialist with 30 years of experience helping people living with chronic disease live life to the fullest.

A lifelong dancer who also enjoys hill walking and skiing, Jennifer brings both professional expertise and a personal love of movement to the conversation. She shares why every bit of movement counts, what people living with diabetes should consider when becoming more active, and why finding an activity you genuinely enjoy may be more important than following the perfect exercise plan.

We also explore the often-overlooked role of sleep in our overall health and well-being.

Jennifer's message is an encouraging one: movement doesn't have to be complicated, and taking care of yourself doesn't have to mean doing everything perfectly. Find what works for you, make room for rest, and focus on building habits that help you live the life you want.
