Do you find it tough to pick yourself back up after a setback or when a challenge comes your way? Do you often feel like you’re failing at something and just want to quit?

Michelle, a 41-year-old married Mum of two (her daughter is 10 and her son is 6), is scared to start her fitness and health journey because of intense feelings of failure from past experiences.

Join me in today’s podcast episode, where I’ll be helping Michelle work through this.
