Gold Minds with Jessica Ennis-Hill

Anna Whitehouse’s story is a thoughtful reimagining of what success truly means. In this episode, the podcaster and journalist shares how becoming a mother forced her to question the glossy ideals she grew up with, and why being present, connected, and honest with her family has become more important than accolades or approval.

She also reflects on the build-up that led to creating Mother Pucker, born from frustration, maternal anger, and the quiet injustice baked into modern motherhood. From apologising at nursery pick-ups to realising she couldn’t tell her daughters they could “be anything” while watching systems repeatedly fail women, Anna explains why staying silent was no longer an option.

Launching with just 62 followers, Mother Pucker became her way of pushing back. What followed was a full-circle moment of validation, as the very publications that once rejected her began inviting her in.

This is a conversation about rewriting the rules, finding your voice, and choosing what really counts.

Ade Adeptian’s story is about momentum built over years of pushing against limits. In this episode, Ade reflects on growing up with a disability in a world that often set expectations for him before he could set them for himself. From school to sport to social spaces, he learned early that progress would require belief, adaptability, and a willingness to keep showing up when the path wasn’t straightforward.

His golden moment came when that persistence met opportunity, whether representing his country in wheelchair basketball or stepping into television presenting. It wasn’t just a milestone on paper; it was proof that he belonged in spaces he was never expected to reach. That moment carried the weight of years of effort, frustration, and self-trust, and marked a shift in how Ade saw both himself and what was possible.

Ade also talks about using his platform to challenge assumptions, push for inclusion, and open doors for others who don’t often see themselves represented. This conversation is about ambition shaped by experience, the long road before breakthrough moments, and how success can become a tool for impact far beyond yourself.

Billy Monger’s story is one of those rare conversations that stays with you long after it ends. In this episode, Billy looks back to his childhood and the moment that changed everything, winning his first go-karting championship at just nine years old.

He speaks candidly about the 2017 accident that changed his life, recalling the shock, the long recovery, and the mental battle of rebuilding himself piece by piece. Billy also shares how his family and closest friends protected his mindset during his darkest moments, creating an environment of positivity and belief when doubt crept in and questions like “why me?” felt overwhelming.

What followed is a story not just of survival, but of purpose. Returning to racing just weeks after the accident, and later redefining himself as a broadcaster, endurance athlete, and campaigner, Billy reflects on the pressure of being seen as an inspiration, and how he’s learned to embrace it. This conversation is about belief, community, and the quiet inner strength that carries you through life’s hardest chapters.
