My Happiful SUP Journey - With Journalist Lucy Donoughue

In this week's episode we feature journalist Lucy Donoughue from Happiful Magazine.

Lucy wrote a beautiful love letter to SUP in her article Falling Isn't Failing which revealed how SUP has eased some personal challenges including obsessive compulsive disorder, body self image and early menopause.

In this episode we freewheel across a number of topics recognisable to anyone who's fallen for the sport whatever your experience level and Lucy explains how as a recent beginner it's about the learning experience, not being afraid to give things a try and to embrace the fact that falling isn't failing.
