Episode 27: Julie Creffield is an award-winning entrepreneur, community engagement strategist, business mentor, author and transformational coach as well as a Run England Run Leader. In 2010 Julie founded the plus-size fitness movement Too Fat to Run? which has helped millions of women around the world to get active and changed the face of sport for plus-size women. It positioned her as an expert in building online tribes, following her 15 year career in community engagement offline.

Julie has dismantled the belief system associated with sport of needing to be the fastest, strongest, toughest etc and the stigma/barrier around fitness and being plus-sized. She has completed many challenges including several triathalons and 5 marathons to date.

We talk about the intrinsic fear many women face when pursuing their dreams and goals - the fear of judgement (from people we don't even know!) What will people think/say? And if that's not bad enough, then comes the fear of failure and fear of success!!!

Julie is a born leader and in her book 'Leading from the back' she goes into what archetype you are and how best to leverage those unique qualities. She is known for creating successful tribes and her movement 'too fat to run?' is still going strong.

In this episode we dig down into the biggest issues post pandemic that women are struggling to deal with. Especially the unseen barriers both externally and internally that can cause stress, overwhelm, anxiety and exacerbate imposter syndrome.

Understanding that we are all imperfectly perfect and whilst it is important to strive to be better, it's important to practise self-love and acknowledge all of the successes and achievements however small, as this can help boost the feelings of self worth and confidence.

I'm joined by Jill Fairbairn in episode 25 to open a much needed conversation about your fitness progress and how your periods and perimenopause could be affecting it.

Jill is an experienced Therapist and Coach with a demonstrated history of working in the health wellness and fitness industry. Skilled in Holistic Health, Coaching Runners, Endurance Sports Specialist, Therapeutic Massage, and Strength & Conditioning. 

If injury, tiredness is stopping your progress or your training has plateaued then this is definitely a must listen episode.

We discuss how not just your mood and energy levels change throughout the month but also your strength and endurance and why an intuitive approach to your training may be required to achieve optimal performance but also reduce your risk of injury.

Jill chats about the recent course she completed 'Women are not small men' and why as females we may need to adjust or alter our training schedules to our own unique cycle patterns. With our ability to lift heavier, run faster in the first stage of our cycle: Day 1-14 (with day 1 being the first day of your period) known as the follicular phase. Whereas in the second stage: Day 15-28 (being the luteal phase) and based on an average 28 day cycle, our energy may dip and we are less likely to hit the personal bests. Therefore, we may benefit from having a de-load week and focusing more on flexibility and mobility. 

As we are all perfectly imperfect, it is important to listen to your own body and do what is right for you. However, Jill offers 3 valuable tips that you can implement to help you on your own fitness journey. We aim to keep the conversation going on this, so please do share to your female friends and family and drop me a message if this episode resonated and if you would like to hear more of the same.

Having endured a turbulent upbringing suffering from physical and mental abuse, Paul opens up early into the episode on how it affected him and the subsequent journey he has been on (which included alcoholism and an attempted suicide) to go on to finally master the game of life.

Overcoming adversity on many occasions, Paul credits this to LOVE and lives his life by the ABC values which he shares that has helped him change his life to make a difference and bring love and hope to the world.

In an unprecedented manner, Paul finishes out the episode in song, giving us all the opportunity to absorb the lyrics and what they especially mean to us.
