Monday Mile with Aimee Fuller episodes

October 02, 2022 S5 Ep2: Aimee Fuller “I’ll show you I’m not who you think I am, it’s very easy to stereotype”. Hosted by Will Buxton
Now this one’s a bit different. This is ME on Monday Mile. Thank you Mr Will Buxton for hosting me on my own podcast. Your kind words and enthusiasm for life make this episode very special.

“I’ll show you I’m not who you think I am, it’s very easy to stereotype”.

We discuss how your average girl next door fulfilled the unimaginable, looking back to my 16 year old self I often ask myself "how did I even make it happen?" 2 Olympics, X Games and a career that was once a distant dream is now something I look back on and call the Degree of my life. In this episode we discuss Fear of committing to the Olympic goal, writing a book, Fear Less Live More and the passion and growth I have for learning on this new path. I am 100 percent living out my second dream and I feel lucky I can say that and share this journey with you all. Enjoy this very special episode brought to you by Mr Buxton.

This time it's a role reversal and Will Buxton takes host seat in this one off episode. He will be probing Aimee for her answers. On routine, mindset, and motivation, even when it's at rock bottom how does she get up and continue to strive. Does she switch off? and her relationship with Monday and early mornings.

Each episode drops on a Monday morning as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors and broadcasters ’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.

September 25, 2022 S5 Ep1: Oti Mabuse - "There is something greater out there for everyone".
This week on the Monday Mile podcast, I head to North West London to link up with Oti Mabuse. It’s fair to say she is one of the most determined and hard working humans I have ever had the pleasure of speaking to. She shares her outlook on progression, “What is the alternative, do I stay in this situation? I have the capability to change it, but if I don’t, what is the alternative?”.

We chat about the importance of preserving her passion for dance, the music that feeds her soul, and Oti even sang us a few lines of her favourite tune to wake up to! We learn about her unusual breakfast set up, yes we are talking mixing cereals in a bowl, love that…. and how competition brings out the best innovation. What I loved about chatting to Oti is her her passion for learning, whether it’s a new style in dance, or taking a new path on her journey within broadcast. She’s ambitious, she’s got drive, it fired me up and I know it will you too.

And yeah, she’s also a 2x Strictly Come Dancing champion, a TV presenter, Podcaster, and Judge on Dancing on Ice.

Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?

August 08, 2022 S4 Ep7: Hannah Mills " Don’t let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game"
This week on the Monday Mile podcast, Aimee travels to Plymouth to meet sailing legend, Hannah Mills, she’s not just TeamGB’s Tokyo 2020 flag bearer, two-time Olympic champion, but she’s a also Two-time World Champion in the Women's 470 class. The Olympic medalist is a passionate environmentalist and an IOC sustainability ambassador and a global Sail GP sustainability spokesperson.

Aimee’s talks to her about the Impact League and how Sail GP, as a global tour is paving the way to retract it’s environmental foot print. Through the sports vision to race both on and off the water in the race to make sport both on and off the water more sustainable.

They also touch on Fear, and how Hannah has taken her sporting mindset beyond the boat and her life experiences including her pregnancy. It's too true that pregnancy can change your body, and as an athlete it has affected her identity, as someone who was once defined by sport, athletism and the strength in her mindset. Aimee clearly took a lot from this and we hope you do too.

We connect ahead of our competing against each other in a Basketball tournament in Aid of Sport Relief. We caught up just after one of Liv's training sessions and discussed what it takes to be successful and how with the right mindset and vision, no matter your background or ability at the beginning of the journey, anything is possible. From the important qualities in relationships, to property and roof top football pitches... "I see property how I see Freestyle, the industry is always moving you can never stop learning". Fast cars and investment, this lady has her head firmly fixed on her shoulders and is en route to taking over the world with her passion for learning.

July 25, 2022 S4 Ep5: Adam Peaty "I thrive in pain"
My guest on this week's podcast is a guy that lives by the motto "better than yesterday". He’s a Triple Olympic champion and the first British swimmer ever to retain an Olympic title. His years of dedication to his sport means he is built like a Greek God, his chest and abs are bullet proof, yet he has a heart of a teddy bear. He’s a family man and one of our National Treasures. It's Adam Peaty.

We connect ahead of the Commonwealth Games on his trip down to London and we meet just outside at The Grove in Watford ahead of a rare day off and a day out to Wimbledon. We discuss his mindset going into the games after a long period out of the pool due to his ankle injury, the no pressure approach as well as his relationship with pain. Trust me, it's a different one. He shares some of his secrets to success which clearly showcases why he is unbeatable. This includes his love of music, and how he uses it as an emotional manipulator .... classical music, and ironing (!) are a part of this and yes, I was just as surprised as you are!

July 11, 2022 S4 Ep4: JJ Chalmers "I've tried not to waste any of the time that I've been given on this little planet".
My guest on this episode is JJ Chalmers. JJ is a TV and Radio presenter who this year has ticked off the BBC’s Winter Olympics coverage and most recently coverage of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, but this is where his story goes a little further than broadcasting. JJ has been on an incredibly inspiring journey to get to these privileged, and well deserved positions.
As a former Royal Marines commando, JJ unfortunately got badly wounded in Afghanistan, leaving him with multiple injuries. Through amazing strength and determination, he went through rehab and competed at the Invictus Games where he won nothing less than a Gold medal, as well as some casual Bronze medals too!
To put it in JJ's words, he’s “had a nightmare and is now living the dream”. I hope you enjoy this podcast, because it left me feeling incredibly inspired.
We talk about the shocking incident which led to his injuries, what disability means and how we can make that societal change - in his words "equity is what's needed, a reasonable adjustment".
