  • Dancing in the Dark

    After a long break.. we are back! The Self Love Initiative podcast is returning with an incredible episode, recorded last year, with the wonderful Abbie Neary who runs Clubbercise with Abbie in South Shields. Clubbercise has changed my view of exercise and Abbie is so supportive and encouraging. Come and listen to Abbie's story and be inspired to get out those glow sticks and dance in the dark.
