In this episode, Heledd sits down with Lexi Chambers, an extraordinary individual who turned personal adversity into an inspiring legacy. A former Army recruit turned NHS nurse, Lexi faced incredible challenges, including life-altering injuries and the loss of her leg. Despite enduring immense physical pain and a rare neurological condition, she has triumphed as a five-time world record holder in wheelchair endurance events.
Lexi shares her remarkable story of resilience, her passion for women's rugby, and her ongoing mission to inspire others, particularly young women and veterans. From her military beginnings to her ambitious future goals, including wheeling the West Coast of America, Lexie reminds us all of the power of grit, adaptability, and community support.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
