To kick things off, my first co-host is my friend Danielle. In this first episode, we discuss how we met and dive into our first topic - fitness motivation and gym routines.

I am honoured to share this conversation with Mel Wells today! I have admired Mel's work for over a year now. Her first book The Goddess Revolution truly changed my life. So I'm excited to share the conversation I had with her all about her second book, Hungry For More.  The book holds a mirror up to our relationship with food and body image, and how we can use these tools (especially as women) to run away and hide from our true selves. If we heal this relationship and make peace with food, we can unlock inner strength that can transform every area of our lives. So if you're feeling stuck, or you know you need a change, or you just need some encouragement - please listen to today's episode and be as inspired as I was chatting to Mel!
