TBD Travel Podcast

We're sure we don't need to tell you how beneficial pilates is. You more than likely already know. However, what about the idea of doing it during a getaway to a gorgeous climate, aboard an incredible atmospheric pirate ship, out on the ocean? 

Jill Robinson joins Colin and Lizzie to talk about her story starting off in a draining corporate job, eventually becoming the founder of Organic Pilates. 

During this chat, you'll hear her inspirational story of how she took the plunge and quit the rat race to grab life by the horns, and thrive in the world of holistic health.

After a thankless job in the city, she overcame her fears and grabbed a venue she didn't think she could afford. 

Since then, she's gone from strength to strength.

During the conversation, you'll hear her thoughts about pilates, and what she believes she can offer, that the average pilates instructor isn't able to.

Jill's been teaching fitness for over 20 years. She's also got the credentials to back it up, with the following accreditations:

CHEK Exercise Coach

CHEK Practitioner Level 1

CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach II

Colin and Lizzie are joined by Kate Mackay, the author of Take It All On Board, a self-help book.

In it, Kate uses her journey learning to snowboard to help readers become comfortable with discomfort, and approach life with confidence. She also runs her very popular blog mummysnowboarder, which is the only UK blog to focus on snowboarding for women and families.

During this chat, you'll hear her talk about:

• Why she started snowboarding in the first place.
• How surfers and skateboarders can easily swap the spray and streets for the snow.
• The many benefits of snowboarding for mental health.
• Why age shouldn't hold you back from taking up the challenge of snowboarding.
• Why you need to get on Google maps and find an indoor snow slope (not a dry one!)
• Her suggested and personal favourite snowboarding spots.

In her nine-to-five, Kate is an NHS management consultant who applies her experience to help create lasting positive change within systems and people.

Kate also spreads the positivity outside of the NHS, using her skills as a certified professional and performance coach, helping private clients to achieve more than they thought possible.

In this chat, she also offers Lizzie and Colin some valuable insights regarding her work in this field, with thoughts on:

• Social media and its impacts on people and well-being.
• The many benefits of world travel on mental health.
