Lauren Steadman is a British Paralympic athlete who has competed in three Summer Paralympics, in both swimming and the paratriathlon. In the 2016 Games in Rio, she won a silver medal in the Women's PT4. Most recently, Lauren was one of two winners who completed Channel 4's 'SAS: Who Dares Wins' programme this year.
Lauren has a Psychology degree, which was where she met Tammy Scobell who also joins us on this podcast. Tammy and Lauren are great friends who want to convert what they have learnt along their journeys into a brand to create change when it comes to mental health. Together, they created Sizu.
On the back of this podcast, Mantality and Sizu have now collaborated to make a tee where 100% of profits goes to ‘Young Minds’ charity. The T-shirt is to address the positive development in the landscape of mental health and what we now deem to be strength in mind. The developments in how we approach mental health are excellent but there is still a long way to go and the conversation needs to keep progressing. With 100% of the profits going to the Young Minds charity we are ensuring that this concept of mental strength and toughness, can be a priority for the new generation going forward. As role models in sport, having competed in some of the toughest competitions, we hope we can show that on the other side of the courage to be vulnerable, can lie the ability to cultivate from adversity, resilience, growth and positive change.
We hope you can join us in this collaboration and spread the evolved version of what it is to be mentally tough. The Strength in Mind Tee is available for pre-order on www.antalityapparel.com and www.sizu-minds.myshopify.com. T-shirt artwork design by: KAMUSA - www.kamusart.com.
