In this weeks episode we talk all about baking fever and how it has spread across the globe during lockdown! Can anyone explain exactly why everyone is making banana bread? Apart from the fact that it is delicious. We then chat about food in general, have a foodie Q&A and then a quickfire ‘this or that’ foodie edition. But the real question we want to know from you is, what would you like to bake next and, more importantly, what is the first thing you will eat when lockdown is over!?

In this weeks episode we discuss doing CrossFit whilst pregnant. Heading into my 30th week of pregnancy, I have been doing CrossFit throughout, as was my intention from the very beginning. But how did that work? How does it feel? How do you empower yourself to know what is right or wrong for you and the baby? Chatting through how to work with your coach, revealing the good and not so good aspects about working out during this period and looking at the necessity that is scaling, modifying and adapting. We also discuss examples of movements that I broke down into 3 categories - no from pregnancy detection, no from bar path being impeded/ form is lost and most importantly my go to movements that I continue to do now safely. Please note that this entire podcast is based on my own personal experience and my own personal research and is not indicative of a path any other pregnant woman who wants to do CrossFit should take. Please use this as information only as a beginning for your own research on what is best for you. Any questions or queries on the topic are highly welcomed!

In this weeks episode we talk about why folk don’t do more for the environment. What is stopping us? Is it convenience, ignorance, lack of education or a simple denial? We give some simple tips on what everyone and anyone can do easily to do ‘their bit’ without feeling guilt over what we ‘aren’t doing’. We then talk about the next generation gaining their voice, is it up to them to make mandatory changes within society? Or can we look to the past for inspiration on our future?
