In a truly inspiring bonus episode first published on November 25th, 2022, The Mettleset Podcast features Jackie Faye, founder of She Can Tri. Discover how this powerful non-profit organization helped transform lives by empowering women, women like the trailblazing Zeinab Rezaie – the first Afghan woman to finish an Ironman 70.3 World Championship – and help them to pursue sports despite facing repression and inequality.
Jackie, herself a pioneer who completed six Ironman triathlons on six continents, shares her journey from meeting Zeinab in Afghanistan to preparing her for an Ironman. Hear how sport provided an escape and strength for Jackie, and how it continues to be a lifeline for women in conflict zones.
This episode is a powerful reminder of sport’s ability to transcend barriers and the vital work still needed for women’s rights globally.
