The Inside Out Series

Hello, my name is Susie. I started the Inside Out Series because I wanted to encourage lighthearted and relatable conversations around anything and everything taboo! Each episode will feature a guest speaker; we’ll get down to the nitty gritty of what’s going on in their lives and then play a game of life on a desert island…hopefully one day we’ll have a mailbag too! You can find us on Instagram @susieflory or please email susie@susieflory.com for any inquiries. Thank you so much for listening!

Ugo Monye- Playing rugby for England and all the rest!

December 24, 2020 • Susie Flory / Ugo Monye • Season 2 • Episode 5

I first met Ugo when he came into my office at work, It only took about 5 seconds to confirm that not only was he as effortlessly cool as he appears on TV, but just a really genuine guy.

Today’s guest is Ugo Monye, an English sports pundit, and former rugby union player.

Despite falling into the stereotype of being a strong rugby lad, Ugo is also completely in tune with his emotions.

In today’s episode, Ugo tells me all about his career as a professional rugby player and all its highs and low. We also talk about the link between physiological wellbeing and physical performance. And finally, he tells me about how his life has changed from Friday night pints with the lads to playing barbies with his daughter Phoenix and Ruby. His quick-fire questions are also pretty stand out…

Ugo is a serious gem- I know you’ll enjoy his positivity, let alone his infectious laugh as much as I did.
