The last month of 2020!

We are starting this month with an incredible guest...

 In today’s episode, we have the lovely Rachel Ann Cullen, she is a runner, a writer, a mother, and the author of “Running For My Life“. 

I keep saying this but the connection that I created with these amazing women over the past 2 months is quite incredible.

Running has shown Rachel that she is capable of so much more than she ever believed possible. Having suffered from low self-esteem and clinical depression as a teenager / young adult, running has enabled her to manage demons running through her mind.

It wasn’t until she had her first daughter that she really had this massive drive to run a marathon.

Episode highlights:

• Rachel talks about her writing journey that led to her two fantastic book achievements "Running for my life: how I built a better me one step at the time." and " A midlife cyclist"
• What made her run her first and more marathons when she became a mother
• Her motherhood journey 

& more interesting tips and advice throughout our chat.

“You gotta celebrate the wins no matter how small, there’s no size”

Yes, and how true is this? 

Today and every Tuesday I say the same thing but couldn't be more true... I had so much fun chatting with today's guest Laura Miller.

She talks about how she got to be a triathlon and running coach and how she helps athletes realize their athletic goals. And how she sold hundreds of her structured training plans that ranged from supporting athletes with 10km, half and full marathons, 70.3 triathlons, and cycling. Beyond that, she is a mother of 2 little ladies, and during her maternity leave, her goal was not only to look after her children but to go after a personal best at the Ironman in Canada. 

If you are looking to hear some tips from a running and a triathlete coach then have a listen! 

Reach out to Laura on IG to get this custom training plan that will help you to set you off to a great personal best of first time race.

Thank you for listening and make sure to give some feedback leaving a DM on Instagram @dayswithl

The theme of triathlon is ongoing! 

There's so much to learn with women around triathlon though, so I couldn't resist to reach out to a few more Tri-moms that could share a little bit about their passion for the sport and their motherhood experiences.

If triathlon is also a passion of yours then keep listening to this episode, I promise that it won't be boring...

In Today’s episode, I had a blast with the founder of Witsup, Stef Hanson.

WITSUP is the leading global multimedia platform dedicated to women in triathlon. Where Stef has been driving change for women in sport for nearly a decade, and she wants to grow even more while continuing to provide you with great quality content. 

Her passion for the sport combined with her commitment to greatness, integrity, sense of humour and engaging personality is her point of difference.

She is also a talented photographer, athlete and a supermum. 

So today we will be chatting about her life as a new mom, athlete and as a Podcaster.

"You cannot function well as a human being if you don't look after yourself"

To connect with Stef check out her Instagram account and have a look at her multimedia platform website that contains amazing content on all-female triathletes and more.

Happy listening!
