Leadership, Love & Loss with Meg Jones
16 January - 1 hour 14 minsThe girls have been back in England camp this week & the Red Roses’ Vice Captaincy has been bestowed upon our Meg, so Scaz, Mo & Elma hash through what it takes to be a leader in the Red Roses. True to form, Meg is open and honest about leadership, as well as the year she’s had - losing both her mum and dad in quick succession. She proudly tells the girls about the people they both were, as well as the struggles her mum had with alcoholism, in the hope that others affected by addiction don’t feel so alone. She’s one in a million, our Meg.
