Hello, I'm Alice Thompson and I'm Rachel Solvester and this is what I wish I'd known, the podcast

in which we talked to extraordinary people who lived astonishing lives and not only survived

but thrived.

Lawson adversity a part of life but an imperfect past isn't always an indicator of what's

to come.

In this series we'll be speaking to inspiring individuals about how they achieve success

and the face of adversity.

Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode of the game is sponsored by the UK COVID-19 Inquiry which is inviting everyone

in the UK to share their experience of the pandemic because every story matters.

Although the pandemic now feels like some time ago, it's left a long lasting impact on

all of our lives.

It was something that we experienced together, however, despite that, it affected us in

many individual ways.

Every story matters is your opportunity to share how the pandemic impacted your life

with the UK COVID-19 Inquiry.

It doesn't have to be just about the virus either.

This can be about how it impacted your day-to-day life, work, community, well-being or faith.

Each story will be analysed and submitted to the Inquiry's investigation as evidence.

Understanding the true human impact of the pandemic can help decision-makers learn lessons

and protect future generations.

Your experiences deserve to be heard.
