This week on the #MondayMile podcast, I'm joined by Team GB rugby player and Olympian Abi Burton. Abi shared the incredible story of her struggle with encephalitis, a rare autoimmune disease that left her in a medically induced coma. In the spring of 2022 Abi's teammates first noticed that she was acting ‘strange', and she was originally diagnosed with depression. She then began to have seizures and was sectioned with a misdiagnosis of stress induced psychosis. Eventually, she was diagnosed with encephalitis and put into a medically induced coma for 26 days. Whilst we stroll around West London, we get into the mind-boggling story of Abi's illness, how it affected her parents and how it has changed the way she views her life now. Abi's now firmly focussed on balancing her own rugby aspirations with coaching the next generation of players, as she hopes to be able to continue to shape young girls lives. It's super inspiring! Abi's story is fascinating and I hope all you Monday Mile listeners will agree! You can find more about Abi on the NEW Sporty AF series from Team GB.

He shares an insight into how different it is racing an Electric car and the importance of visual reference points throughout a race, "You jump in this and it's like no vibrations, super smooth and just wind".

The team is steeped in racing history, and today we are Lucky enough to be speaking to their first ever female driver…we are of course at Mclaren HQ, and we're here to meet Emma Gilmour. Emma takes us through the famous Boulevard, and gives us an insight as to what it is like to  be a part of McLaren as they celebrate their 60th year. We discuss her transition from horse riding to motor racing, and how from the outside, the sport of motor racing can be perceived as dangerous.  Emma also shares how having control of a car is of course, very different to that of a horse!  “A horse has a mind of its own:” . We discuss the physicality of the sport, and the mindset required to excel, that being extreme focus.  We chat about the opportunity Extreme E has given female drivers as a platform to get more females in seats on the grid moving forward, "on any Extreme E grid, you've got 50% male and 50% female, so all these young girls at home can see that women can compete at the top level”.  Emma takes us step by step through the mental thought process, when she is at the start line, and how when it goes wrong, it can really go wrong, “I try to straighten the wheels for the impact with the hay bales, instantly you're like 90 degrees to the track”.  For me this was a really insightful listen, and interesting to learn more about the process when it comes to taking that first step into a car, and the associated pressures which Emma has embraced and charged forward with when it comes to racing under the flag of McLaren - their heritage being fast cars, petrol and winning.

This week on the Monday Mile podcast we are in Surrey, and we are linking up with a good friend of mine.  Have you ever wondered who the face is behind the stunts in the likes of Mission Impossible? Today's guest is for starters one of the most low key and talented individuals I know.  Known best for being a stunt performer, and one of the top performers in the world today, Lucy has performed in just a few movies you might know - Jumanji, Fast and Furious, and Mission Impossible. We discuss the importance of leaving the "ego" behind when it comes to performing on set, and what it's like working and choreographing scenes with Tom Cruise. We discuss the famous Pole Hopping scene, which Tom leaned on Lucy for her experience in Pole dancing. We also open up the conversation and struggles with body image when it comes to performing and moulding to fit the actors, we talk body language, movement and size.  We discuss Lucy's ability to adapt like a Chameleon, and her ability to mimic movement.  Trust me I can vouch for that - her innate ability to pick up anything she is shown is incredible and that skill set spans from driving, riding motorbikes, diving, gymnastics and  lots more. “If people want to hire me, they hire me for my skills” . She's doubled for the likes of Cameron Diaz, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell, Vanessa Kirby (Hobbs and Shaw),  Rachel Weiz, Cobie Smoulders, Karen Gillan and she has filmed iconic scenes in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation. We also discuss the subject of dating and the challenges that can bring due to the nature of Lucy's physically strong and capable ability.  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?

She's the presenter of Radio 1 Life Hacks, and now a face of the BBC Morning Live Family. Katie also has her own show on Friday and Saturday mornings and co-hosts going home with Vick and Jordan when one of them is off' on BBC Radio 1 and we link up with her just as she heads into the studio to discuss life, and we cover the topic of eating disorders. We talk about the importance of therapy, and Katie's personal development in that space as a person-centred Counsellor. Katie speaks openly about the challenge she has had with binge eating, and how it is often seen as the forgotten eating disorder.  Binge behaviour is often glamourised  “We encourage people to eat and to binge drink, yet you are punished when you can't stop. People always think of Anorexia, which has the highest fatality rate of any mental illness”.  She shares her triggers, loneliness, stress, and anxiety, and the moment she caught herself ordering food in a hotel room and then purging and making herself sick. She also shares her tips and tricks and how she is currently working through this mental illness.  We also chat about the pressures around being busy, “everybody is always doing something” , and how social media can be a spiral for feeling like this, and the feeling that it's not OK to be bored.  Katie talks about the way she is treated differently when she is bigger, and her body shape changes, "we are quite a fat phobic society". We discuss role models and the importance of seeing more fuller bodied women on TV, and how it is changing positively.

This week on the Monday Mile Podcast,  we are in central London with a radio DJ. Known best for his time at the Capital Breakfast show he now hosts his own Capital Late Show. He's recently gone through a drastic body transformation and has quite literally turned his life around. We discuss Dancing on Ice and the mindset learned from that, going in as the underdog with no pressure and the discipline required to progress. “ you can start terrible at something, if you consistently do something you can get really good at it”. We chat about his former lifestyle covering double shifts on the radio and how it was not conducive to a healthy lifestyle with extremely early mornings and very late nights.  Sonny shares his inspiration behind the transformation and the significant 30th Birthday mark, and the steps he's taken to make some real life changes. One takeaway I particularly liked, was Sonny's theory on having “peaks in the day, having 2 points of high”. Formerly he would have one peak, that being work, (which exhausted him mentally) and the rest of the day was on a decline, feeling jet-lagged and the day being done. He chats about goal setting and the time-frame of 6 months and the importance of being able to apply yourself to make those lifestyle changes. One being changing the mindset around food, and removing the mentality of having to finish everything on the plate and learning what being full and satisfied is.

From his first experience sitting in an F1 car , and nearly putting his head through the steering wheel to securing his place at McLaren F1.  Oscar shares his passion and competitive nature by doing everything to the best of his ability and how aiming for the top of motorsport was his only option. We also discuss the importance in education and how being a World class athlete does require and element of academic ability to perform your best. “I was competitive academically, we're all very capable of driving at almost the same speed as each other, in F1 half of the game is having a brain free enough to think about other stuff apart from driving”. We delve into his new found fame on the grid off the back of his result at Silverstone, and how the British public were chanting his name over Lewis Hamilton.

Today on Monday Mile we launch Series 7, with a man who's kinda got the triple threat going on. He's an actor, comedian and television presenter.  To you and I, he's best known for his comedic persona and presenting shows such as Take Me Out, and one of my favourites BBC's Top Gear, if you haven't already guessed it's Paddy McGuiness. We take the Monday Mile podcast on a train trip up North to Macclesfield to meet Paddy at his local tea room, for a rather blustery and rainy hike at the Teggs Nose Country Park. I think it has to be one of our most adverse weather situations we have ever had on the mile, which resulted in a new pair of trousers bought in a charity shop for the ride home!  We tap into Paddy's relationship with keeping active, and how important that is in helping him to find the balance and switch off when juggling being a Dad, and a multifaceted face of broadcast. He speaks openly about his recent documentary Our Family and Autism with BBC, and the difficulty in taking the first steps in opening up to the media in an attempt to help other parents going through the same process.  We chat about how that has impacted on his mental health and his own diagnosis of clinical depression. Paddy puts strong emphasis on the importance of speaking out and finding the right therapist for you.   We also discuss the importance of staying true and humble to his routes, just a lad from Bolton debunking the stereotype of men having to be the bread winner, and removing that mask of no emotion , no tears,. He leaves our listeners with some strong advice on how to manage and juggle criticism in the public eye, whether it be on social media, or in the Press and the importance of not being defined by one moment or a series of events. “It's a little bit of fun in a moment in time that when we're all dead, no one cares about it”. 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.

She's worked across some of the most prestigious events in sport, Olympics , Paralympics , Wimbledon and the Rugby World Cup . She's the consummate professional, one of the greats and delivers when it really counts even under pressure and streaming live into our living rooms.  We have a great conversation about what makes a good broadcaster.  We discuss whether journalism really deserves the paraphrase "dirty word" and as to whether broadcasters are out there to “nail someone to the masts”.  We also chat about how F1 is considered to be an elite profession, and how the athlete's attitudes towards the sport has influenced Lee's professionalism towards her job as a broadcaster - "success and failure is measured by a thousandth of a second" . We discuss her relationship with the outdoors and the balance it brings, and how she juggles life on the road, broadcasting across multisport events and adapting to different time zones and prepping for one event whilst she's still mid-broadcast at another. We also talk about the importance of being “good” at the job, and not focusing on what other people might think, and whether it's true if you put everything into something it leaves no room for criticism. However, Lee does open up about trolling and the effects that can have on her relationship with body image. It's a great listen, and as someone who is a role model to me, I really enjoyed this walk and talk with Lee.

This week's Monday Mile takes us out into a slightly different environment. You might expect this mile to take us into a ballroom, but no, we are in this particular individual's other happy place. He's the definition of a Gentleman, he's a multifaceted entertainer and an all round performer, a singer, an author and is most well known for his performances on the dance floor.  However this particular individual now sits on the exclusive judging panel every Saturday night on one of our most well loved shows - yes you've guessed - it's Strictly Come Dancing, Anton Du Beke.  We go for a round of Golf at the world famous Wentworth Course in Surrey.  During our walk, we discuss Anton's passion for Golf outside of the ballroom as well as his NTA nomination this week, and what it would mean to him to win.  We tap into the brutality of being knocked out of the competition on Strictly, as someone with a depth of knowledge and experience having had a professional career as a Ballroom and Latin dancer, and 18 years of performing on the show.  Now on the other side as a judge, Anton gives us an insight into his empathy and understanding of what's going on and how he applies his critique.  Anton also leaves us with some really strong takeaways which can be applied to everyday life, the importance of showing up and being ready when an opportunity presents, and his motto “The one thing you must bring to everything, is your best”. 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 drops on a Monday morning as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it. 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. Sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors and broadcasters ' secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.

Now this one's a bit different. This is ME on Monday Mile. Thank you Mr Will Buxton for hosting me on my own podcast. Your kind words and enthusiasm for life make this episode very special.  “I'll show you I'm not who you think I am, it's very easy to stereotype”.  We discuss how your average girl next door fulfilled the unimaginable, looking back to my 16 year old self I often ask myself "how did I even make it happen?" 2 Olympics, X Games and a career that was once a distant dream is now something I look back on and call the Degree of my life. In this episode we discuss Fear of committing to the Olympic goal, writing a book, Fear Less Live More and the passion and growth I have for learning on this new path. I am 100 percent living out my second dream and I feel lucky I can say that and share this journey with you all. Enjoy this very special episode brought to you by Mr Buxton. This time it's a role reversal and Will Buxton takes host seat in this one off episode. He will be probing Aimee for her answers. On routine, mindset, and motivation, even when it's at rock bottom how does she get up and continue to strive. Does she switch off? and her relationship with Monday and early mornings.
