S13 Ep4: STRICTLY’S JANETTE MANRARA OPENS UP ABOUT IMPOSTER SYNDROME, HER FIRST YEAR ON THE SHOW AND PREDICTIONS FOR HUSBAND ALJAŽ AND HIS PARTNER TASHA

This week on the @Monday_Mile_Series I’m joined by rockstar mama and all-round boss lady @JManrara . Best known for her time as a professional dancer on #Strictly Come Dancing, she’s now an author, broadcaster and regularly graces our screens hosting @bbcmorninglive and @bbcstrictly It Takes Two.   This week we take a deep dive into Janette’s working life - how she balances an incredibly busy work schedule rushing from Morning Live to hosting It Takes Two  and still managing to be an incredible mother to her daughter Lyra.   She opens up about dancing with her partner Aljaž and how dancing together and finding that ‘flow state’ with someone you love is one of the most euphoric things she’s ever experienced.   We chat about her new book ‘Tiny Dancer Big World’, how much she poured into the book and how it felt like a bit of therapy for her and like she was giving birth to another child!   I had such a great time chatting with Janette Manrara, she really is a force to be reckoned with!   Listen now on all your favourite podcast platforms and watch on YouTube

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’ Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
