Mental Reset: Millie shares how she’s been prioritising rest and stepping back after a long season. Besties and Support: A raw, honest chat about how close friendships can carry you through the darkest moments. Rachel Daly and Millie Bright dive deep into the emotional side of life as professional athletes. In one of their most personal episodes yet, Rach shares the experience of grief after losing her dad and what it was like to go into England camp just days later. She reflects on the complex, delayed nature of grief, the unexpected emotional waves, and how football became both a distraction and a lifeline. Millie opens up about the importance of recognising when your body and mind need a break. The two also talk candidly about checking in on your friends, finding strength in little signs from loved ones, and the quiet ways we support each other even when we can’t find the words. This episode is a tribute to resilience, rest, and real friendship. If you’ve been through something similar, know that you’re not alone. Trigger Warning: This episode includes open and emotional discussions around grief, loss of a parent, and coping with mental health challenges. Please take care when listening.
