Short Story 19: Life, Leukaemia, and Success with Football Legend Stiliyan Petrov

  • Résumé

  • In this powerful and moving short story episode, I had the honour of speaking with Bulgarian 🇧🇬 football legend Stiliyan Petrov, just days before he joined global icons Roberto Carlos, Gilberto Silva and Jens Lehmann amongst others for Strive Aid on Sunday, 17th November, raising awareness and funds for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).


    Stiliyan opens up about his journey, redefining success not only during his stellar football career but also in the face of his battle with leukaemia. His candid reflections on what success meant to him during those challenging years are nothing short of profound.


    🔑 “Success during my leukaemia battle was being alive.”


    Through his words, Stiliyan reminds us that:


    • Life is not perfect, despite what social media might suggest.
    • Vulnerability is not a weakness but a true sign of strength.
    • Asking for help is vital—and can make all the difference.


    His journey and insights align deeply with my mission to create safe spaces for these conversations and to challenge societal norms. This short yet impactful conversation is a reminder that with role models like Stiliyan, we can continue changing the narrative, breaking stigmas, and championing resilience.


    💡 Let this episode inspire you to embrace vulnerability, celebrate resilience, and redefine what it means to succeed.


    We’re all in this together 👊🎙️🧢
