  • What she did to finally give up smoking after more than 10 years!
  • How she got over her fear of the gym and working out
  • Her couch to 5km to a full marathon story
  • Why running isn't just about fitness, it's about finding yourself and building confidence
  • How the law of attraction and the power of positive thinking changed her mindset
  • How anybody can get motivated if the write down their goal and surround themselves with the right people
  • Why you need to stop insulting yourself and build inner confidence
