Om Podcasten

The Her Spirit Podcast is back for season 6, hosted by former BBC Breakfast presenter, journalist and adventure seeker Louise Minchin. This brand-new season follows real-time the stories of Donna and Amy as they go on a 12-week health and fitness journey with Louise and Her Spirit Co-Founders Mel and Holly. Donna and Amy are two women who, like so many of us, have faced tough challenges to their health and enormous demands on their time over the last couple of years. Both wanted some help and support in changing their lives and feeling stronger, fitter and healthier. For the next 12 weeks, we'll follow them on their journeys - the highs and lows, the successes and the challenges - and we want you to come along too, and set some goals alongside theirs so that we can help and support each other along the way.Her Spirit is a global community of like-minded women all getting fitter, stronger and healthier together. We believe your mind, body and fuel are intrinsically linked and taking small achievable steps will lead to big changes.Regardless of your ability, location or stage of life Her Spirit has something for everyone. We are an inclusive bunch of women who believe that being fit and healthy shouldn't be a chore but something you love to do. Our mantra is 'Together We've Got This' and together we support each other to live life to the full and achieve mind, body and fuel goals we never thought possible.Please find out more and come and join our community at https://herspirit.co.uk/Download the Her Spirit App Apple - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/her-spirit/id1455642844Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.disciplemedia.herspiritJoin us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/herspiritukTwitter - https://twitter.com/herspiritukInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/herspirituk/
