Episode 26 is all about fitness, consistency and building community 🎀

This week I’m joined by Brooke, founder of CBB Hub (Coached by Brooke), personal trainer, teacher, and creator of girls-only walking and hiking clubs.

– Why she started a girls-only walking and hiking community

Hi Girls, welcome back — and happy New Year!What better way to kick things off than with a solo episode, because I have missed youuuu 🤍

This year, we’re doing things differently. We’re planning to be bigger, better, and more intentional, using a clear step-by-step process instead of vague goals and pressure-filled expectations. I’ve watched every podcast, YouTube video, and goal-setting method out there, and this is the process that genuinely works for me — the one I come back to every single year.But this year, I don’t just want to inspire you — I want to give you the tools too.

That’s why I’ve created a free goal-setting worksheet, with the exact questions I use to break down my goals, get clear, and actually follow through. You can download it using the link below and work through it alongside this episode.I’ve also linked some of the planners and resources I personally use, including The Productivity Method, for anyone who wants extra structure and support when it comes to planning their goals and time.

If you’re ready to start the year feeling clear, confident, and equipped — this episode (and the tools) are for you

Hey Girls.....

This episode is a special one, Lara and I met at kickboxing — two girls just trying to feel stronger, both still figuring out our fitness journeys, and both doing the inner work too. Fast forward to now… we just completed HYROX together 🎀

We chat about what that day meant to us, the highs, the chaos, the mindset shifts, and the magic of having a friend who gets it. From being overweight and starting out feeling unsure, to crossing the finish line side by side — this one’s for the girls who are still learning, still showing up, and still proving to themselves that they can.

It’s real, it’s raw, and honestly… it’s a bit emotional (with plenty of laughs in between).

🎧 Tune in for an episode full of friendship, fitness, and a reminder that your journey doesn’t have to look perfect to be powerful.

Love & light,

Aalimah,

In this episode of Girls Like Me, we dive headfirst into the real, raw, and resilient story of British tennis talent Zainab William 🎀

From being dubbed one half of the "British Williams Sisters" as a kid to walking away from the sport at 14, Zainab’s journey is anything but linear.

We talk about:

• Growing up with athlete parents and instant expectations
• Losing 12 matches in a row (and how that messes with your head)
• Getting dropped from her job in 2023 with bills to pay and no guarantees
• The one coach who reignited her passion and helped her rebuild — on her terms
• Why sometimes the biggest blessings come disguised as breakdowns
