In the first episode of the second series, Warren talks to Dr Sarah Leiter who is a British Paralympian in the sport goalball, and has achieved her ambition of becoming a doctor, despite having a rare eye disease. We speak with Sarah about her career and how she manages her visual impairment to be able to excel in her career. We speak about her childhood and family life and how this provided her with fantastic support to set her off in the direction of becoming a doctor and how Sarah navigated education to get to the point she is at now. At the end of the podcast Sarah offers the opportunity for people to get in touch with us at The VIP Pod who might be young, visually impaired and looking for a similar career to Sarah, so please do get in touch with us if this is you, or you are the parent of someone who fits this description. Please contact us on [email protected]. Many thanks to Sarah for her time. Perhaps next time Sarah and I will talk about her sporting goalball exploits!
