Episode 15 : Gaz & Yin

What if the bravest adventures aren’t about crossing continents… but about coming face to face with a life you thought you’d left behind?Rebecca and Caroline speak to Gaz and Yin joined Race Across the World as ex-partners — married for over 30 years, now separated — and still close friends.But this episode goes far beyond the race.Because for Yin, stepping onto that start line meant returning not just to a country, but to a past she had spent years trying to move on from. What followed wasn’t just a physical challenge — it was deeply personal, emotional, and at times overwhelming.And when the race ended early for them, something else began.✨ In this episode:The moment Yin almost didn’t get on the planeWhat it was really like returning to China and facing her pastHow grief and mental health shaped the experienceThe honest conversations they never had during their marriageHow the race helped strengthen their friendship in a completely new wayWhy they’ve chosen not to go back, but to move forward differently💡 This episode is really about:Facing parts of your life you thought were behind youHow relationships can evolve — even after they endThe power of honesty, compassion and understandingFinding a way forward when things don’t go to planThey didn’t win the race.But what they found — about themselves, and each other has changed the way they live their lives today.Please follow us on Instagram for lots of fun, adventures and behind the scenes antics.NVNG is hosted by Rebecca Rees and Caroline Bridge.
