Thrive With Lois

In this episode I had the pleasure of featuring on “I Think I Am Mentally Unstable” which is hosted my good friend, Naida Allen. She is one of the most, genuine, honest people in my life and I know you're going to LOVE this episode.

We have a good old natter about people pleasing, entrepreneurship and our own challenges we have faced. We hope by sharing the things we have learned along the way that you too can start to make some positive changes and start to put yourself first.

In this episode I am joined by a good friend, Chris Gillard who is on a mission to support Great British Powerlifters and create an inclusive space for them to support one another.

We cover a lot about experiences within gym environments, and the main crux of todays discussion was how we can make the gym an inclusive, safe space for everyone. Whether it be your day 1 in the gym or your day 1000. So I really hope you enjoy this episode and take away something valuable.
