In today's episode we look at the idea that greatness is within your grasp even when it doesn't seem that way. Touching on the social influences that teach us that we 'can't' when in actual fact you're capable of more than you think! My guest today is the wonderful Cat from Cats Crafts who talks about her struggles with chronic illness and how she aims for Greatness regardless. Even if you take one thing away from this podcast, it's that you are born for greatness, but it starts with self belief.

I think it's important for all of us to keep this conversation going. Talk about race, how to educate ourselves further and learn how to ally. I talk a lot about different places you can educate yourself, donate, support and find more information. This is the link which links to pretty much everything; https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ I would also suggest following the Instagram accounts such as; @i_weigh @lvernon2000 @themanacho and @blklivesmatter The books I mention are White Fragility, I know why the caged bird sings, Crook Country, The hate u give, me and white supremacy and why I no longer talk to white people about race. The TV shows and films are: 13, dear white people, when they see us, American Son and who killed Malcolm X. The podcasts I mention are: code switch, The nod, The stoop, identity politics and Yo is this racist. The time is now for action. Move with compassion. Listen, learn and amplify the black voices speaking up. Call out those who continue to be ignorant and remember; I understand that I will never understand. However I stand.

Today I discuss how fitness can be a great thing for your mental health, touching on movement medicine and my personal experiences combating toxic social media and negative body image. Some friends join me in today's episode to talk about what fitness means to them and that you're workout journey should always start from a place of love.
