A Conversation with Sarra Hoy – Strength in the Stillness

Recorded live at the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh.

During this powerful live episode of Women on Top, our Egg Head host Kylie Reid sits down with Sarra Hoy for an unforgettable conversation that left the Lyceum in quiet tears and standing ovation.

Sarra opens up about her incredible journey — from a legal career shaped by a curiosity about crime and Death Row, to standing beside her husband, Sir Chris Hoy, through Olympic triumphs, and now navigating both his terminal diagnosis and her own battle with MS.

Their love story? Straight out of a movie — love at first sight in Grand Cru, Edinburgh. “I thought he was the most handsome man I’d ever met,” she beams.

But it’s Sarra’s reflections on togetherness that truly moved the room. “We’re going to move mountains, and we’re going to do it together. It’s the biggest privilege, becoming a team.”

Through years of long-distance, raising two premature babies, and rebuilding after life-altering health news, Sarra’s message is simple yet profound: Be present. Choose life. Embrace joy. Share your story.

It’s a conversation full of grace, grit, and the quiet strength of showing up — one day at a time.

What we talk about:

Meeting Chris Hoy and navigating life in and out of the spotlight
Supporting her husband’s Olympic career (and cooking superfood curries on the side!)
Raising premature babies and her work with Bliss Scotland
Facing a personal MS diagnosis with strength and perspective
Why she believes in the power of storytelling and choosing presence over perfection

Recorded at: The Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh at Women on Top: May 2025
