In this episode we talk about:

  • The two important questions to ask yourself in order to get out of bed in the morning
  • Techniques to help you find your "why"
  • Ways to combat the "three deadly i"s
  • The power of community – and how to find one
  • How to track your fitness and wellbeing
  • And much more
