It was great to have a conversation with Chelsea for the final episode of season 3!

Chelsea has been incredibly strong through a challenging period of recovery from her eating disorder and fitness addiction. Throughout this episode we explore her healing journey, and how she began to repair her relationships with both food and fitness.

During this conversation we speak in depth about Chelsea's experience as a competitive gymnast, what inspired her to become vegan, breaking out of negative cycles associated with mental illness, adjusting to university, and learning to listen to and love your body. We also address Chelsea's social media presence, and her use of YouTube and Instagram to not only raise awareness and connect with others struggling in similar ways, but also as a method of personal accountability and self-growth.

It was wonderful to talk to Chelsea - she is very brave to be so open about these difficult topics. We hope you enjoy!

There are a lot of heavy topics in this podcast episode, so I advise you to note these trigger warnings before listening: 

*We speak about fitness addiction/eating disorders/body weight and image in this episode. This is to caution anyone who may find this triggering or upsetting. Remember you are not alone, and sending you tons of loving vibes.

It was such a joy to be able to speak with one of my running inspirations, Nick Butter, on the podcast today!

I have been following Nick since his running the world challenge: in which he ran a marathon in every country (196) in the world over a period of just 23 months! He also hold 8 world records, has ran the length of Italy in 100 days (1 marathon a day for 100 days), and has ran around the perimeter of Britain in 120 days (roughly 2 marathons a day!). We discuss the physical content of these challenges, but also take time to explore the mental, logistical, and financial difficulties these challenges pose. Nick also explains how the challenge changed him fundamentally on a personal level, and inspired him to live life every day with conscious intent and purpose.

Throughout this episode we also speak about Nick's passion for cold water swimming, his charity the 196 foundation, his experience of van living, his movement from a job in finance to what he does today, as well as discussing the future challenges Nick has in the coming years.

Nick is both incredibly inspiring and humble, and it was so amazing to be able to speak to him in this episode. I really hope that you enjoy listening.

This week on the podcast it was really lovely to have a chat with my friend Josh, who is currently my personal trainer and helping me work towards some of my own fitness goals!

This conversation centres around Josh’s fitness journey, from his love of sport at school, to his challenging relationship with running at university, and towards completing his qualification as a personal trainer and working in Edinburgh today!

Josh and I discuss lots of topics that arise when navigating the fitness industry, and we take time to appreciate its potential to be both an incredibly positive space, but also ability to be negative in certain ways. We draw on the importance of making fitness sustainable and enjoyable, placing focus on our individual fitness goals, the necessity of education, and the fine line between commitment to training and obsessive practices. We also take time to explore the post-uni transition, mental health, social media, and more! 

I really hope that you enjoy this episode!

*Trigger Warning: We speak about body image and weight loss throughout this episode to caution anyone who might find this upsetting.
