Author: Gabby Logan March 12, 2025 Duration: 51:46
Paralympic medallist turned broadcaster, Ade Adepitan MBE, chats to Gabby about his journey to the midpoint and why family life came a little bit later for him. Ade shares how sport completely changed his life - giving him a new found freedom as a young disabled person - and describes the single-mindedness required to be an athlete and compete at the highest levels in wheelchair basketball. He talks openly about becoming estranged from his parents, living alone from the age of 17, but how time allowed for the healing that ultimately led to a beautiful reconciliation with his parents. Ade also speaks frankly about the realities of life as a wheelchair user and why he was concerned about his children being born with a disability, in spite of all he has done and achieved in his life. They discuss why a challenge that’s your own personal choice can be so rewarding, and why Ade believes a win-a-day is so vital to our wellbeing and sense of self. Ade’s story is one of determination, resilience, and hope; and this episode is not to be missed.

There’s a particular kind of energy that comes with the middle of life-a mix of experience, shifting priorities, and a few unexpected physical and mental curveballs. On The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan, broadcaster Gabby Logan leans into that phase with curiosity and frank humour. Each conversation moves beyond the surface, as Gabby sits down with familiar names to unpack their personal midlife stories, from career pivots and family dynamics to the very real changes in health and fitness. This isn’t just anecdotal; the discussions are thoughtfully informed by specialists, whether that’s a nutritionist reframing diet, a sleep scientist, or a doctor explaining hormonal shifts. The result is a podcast that feels like a series of honest, reassuring chats with friends who aren’t afraid to ask the real questions. Listeners will find a space that normalises the complexities of this life stage, offering both relatable stories and tangible takeaways for navigating one’s own midpoint with more clarity and a lot less shame.
