egg talks to

Recorded live at the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh. During this powerful live episode of Women on Top, our Egg Head host Kylie Reid sits down with Sarra Hoy for an unforgettable conversation that left the Lyceum in quiet tears and standing ovation. Sarra opens up about her incredible journey — from a legal career shaped by a curiosity about crime and Death Row, to standing beside her husband, Sir Chris Hoy, through Olympic triumphs, and now navigating both his terminal diagnosis and her own battle with MS. Their love story? Straight out of a movie — love at first sight in Grand Cru, Edinburgh. “I thought he was the most handsome man I’d ever met,” she beams. But it’s Sarra’s reflections on togetherness that truly moved the room. “We’re going to move mountains, and we’re going to do it together. It’s the biggest privilege, becoming a team.” Through years of long-distance, raising two premature babies, and rebuilding after life-altering health news, Sarra’s message is simple yet profound: Be present. Choose life. Embrace joy. Share your story. It’s a conversation full of grace, grit, and the quiet strength of showing up — one day at a time. What we talk about: * Meeting Chris Hoy and navigating life in and out of the spotlight * Supporting her husband’s Olympic career (and cooking superfood curries on the side!) * Raising premature babies and her work with Bliss Scotland * Facing a personal MS diagnosis with strength and perspective * Why she believes in the power of storytelling and choosing presence over perfection Recorded at: The Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh at Women on Top: May 2025 Mentioned in this episode: * Bliss Scotland [https://www.bliss.org.uk/] * Samaritans [https://www.samaritans.org/] Huge thanks to our sponsors Freeagent.

In this episode, we’re bringing you a live recording from our International Women's Day, Women on Top event at the W Hotel in Edinburgh with the incredible ⁠Lauren Currie OBE⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurencurrie/], founder of⁠⁠ UPFRONT⁠⁠ [https://www.weareupfront.com/]. Lauren’s mission is to revolutionise confidence for 10 million women, and her work has already empowered thousands to step forward and own their voices.  Lauren dives into the realities of being a confident woman in a world that doesn’t always support it. We explore the fact that 28% of women who run their own businesses charge less than their male counterparts – a direct result of being conditioned to undervalue ourselves. Lauren shares her advice on how to break free from this mindset and start charging what you’re truly worth.  But that’s not all! Kylie also introduces the exciting launch of ⁠⁠egg Business Club⁠⁠ [https://www.weareegg.co.uk/become-a-member], a curated membership for ambitious women ready to grow, connect, and thrive in business.

We receive a huge number of requests daily from members asking for family law help and wanted to offer more support. This time, I’m talking to Shona Smith, a partner at Blackadders, who is a leading expert in family law. Shona has supported many individuals through the complexities of divorce and relationship breakdowns. In this episode, we cover a range of important topics, including what it means to reach out to a family lawyer, how to protect your assets, and the significance of co-habitation agreements. Shona provides fantastic advice on these key questions and more, sharing insights into everything from the emotional aspects of divorce to navigating legal rights and responsibilities. This episode isn’t just about marriage breakdowns, though. Shona also discusses the important issues that arise when a cohabiting couple splits and how to safeguard your interests in these situations too. My aim with this episode is to provide you with valuable insight and support if you ever find yourself in need of family law guidance. I hope you find it helpful.
