  • 010 - Kate Higham - Lockdown, Mental Health, Travel, Fitness & Lifestyle

    In this episode, I speak to my good friend Kate Higham, a lifestyle & fitness coach from the UK. We recorded this in August of 2020, and have only just now managed to upload it. Regardless, Kate is a truly wonderful person, with so much knowledge and plenty of great stories to tell. 

    We cover the obvious L-word - LOCKDOWN, Kate's job as an inspirational fitness leader to so many, few nostalgic travel stories and much more! I loved chatting to her and can't wait for you all to hear it. 

    Enjoy! x
