The Race Across The World That Helped Alfie Watts Process His Grief
About this episode
Alfie Watts shares his journey of processing grief and finding purpose through small steps and support from chosen family.
Race Across the World star Alfie Watts knows how much can change in a day. At 16, during the lowest point of his life, he made a decision to stay for “one more day”, then another. Years later, Alfie looks back at that version of himself as someone he barely recognises. From losing his mum and finding family outside of blood, to becoming the role model he once needed, Alfie shares the mindset that has carried him forward: take life in small steps, say yes when you can, and remember that neither the highs nor the lows last forever. This is a conversation about growing up, finding your people, and discovering just how different life can look when you give tomorrow a chance.
