Description

A place to inspire and inform mothers from any stage, and to chat about the trials and tribulations of moving your body after having your kids. I'll be speaking to coaches, instructors, and trainers plus athletes and adventurers who all work with mothers in some way and also happen to be mothers themselves. This isn't about perfection, standards or achieving, this is a conversation about how to make the best of the rest of our lives through a nourishing relationship with our bodies and minds.

In this final episode of season 5 I am joined by half of the Mothership crew who just completed the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge row coming in 2nd place women’s 4 in just over 40 days. They have been training for 2 years, preparing technically and physically as well as getting over the mental hurdle of being out in the Atlantic on their own with no immediate support and rowing 2 hours on 2 hours off for the whole time. Felicity (Dids) and Lebby joined me to chat about their approach to the row, what they found the most challenging part and their experience of being women and mothers rowing this challenge. I love speaking to women who have done something extraordinary against all expectations and the crew of the Mothership are exactly those type of women.

Thanks for listening to this series and for joining me in the chats and connections made with inspiring and informative women who happen to be mothers. See you soon for Season 6!

Welcome Movement Fans! In this episode I am joined by the lovely Yebin Mok, who we know now in the UK as a professional on Dancing On Ice but she honed her talent and incredible skill as a figure skater in the US on the junior and Senior Circuit before moving on as a professional in tours like Holiday on Ice. In this conversation we talk about her life as an elite athlete from a very young age and the commitment to the sport she loved which also led to her losing her way a bit. After an identity crisis, episode of depression and eating disorder Yebin found some time away gave her the space she needed to remember why she loved skating in the first place. We also talk about her recovery from giving birth to her 2 kids and her hopes for the future. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

In this week’s episode of the Mother Of All Movement Podcast I sat down with the totally incredible Sabrina Pace-Humphreys @sabrunsmiles - who found running just when she needed it after having her 4th child, developing an instant connection with the headspace she got from it. She then saw a documentary of James Cracknell having a horrible time on the Marathon Des Sables and thought “yes, I’m going to do that” and has never looked back. Now she’s on a mission to spread the word that black and brown people have a place in the trail running community by increasing representation and inclusion when she co-founded @blacktrailrunners last year. Sabrina is an amazing woman, mother, grandmother, coach, athlete and soon to be published author with her first book “Black Sheep” out in June.
