Personal Fitness Trainer Rach Klein joins Bronwyn for a conversation about courage, authenticity, and the emotional fitness required to live in alignment with your truth. Rach shares about how she's built a strong foundation over time, and how it all started when she and her partner embarked on their Secret Health & Fitness Mission. At age 40, she had finally reached a point where she couldn’t take it anymore. "Like many of us, my countless attempts enviably failed. So we bit the bullet, hired trainers and kept it on the down low for as long as possible. I lost 30kg and became mentally and physically stronger than I have ever been before!" 

Coach Rach shares two practices that support her emotional steadiness and expressive freedom.
