Episode 234 - From Running to Mindfulness: Exploring Collective Strength and the Future of Healthcare with Cheryl Martin

In this episode of FitMIND, FitBODY, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Cheryl Martin. Hailing from Scotland but now calling Australia home, Cheryl brings a unique perspective to the table. We delved into a wide range of topics, from holistic care and mindfulness to the potential for change in the healthcare system.   One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the power of collective strength. Cheryl and I both believe that when people come together, they become stronger and can make a real impact. We discussed the importance of leaving a legacy, whether it's through podcasts or other means, and how we can all contribute to positive change.   We also touched on Cheryl's passion for running and her desire to tackle a 100-kilometer race in the future. She emphasised the importance of setting specific goals and finding races that align with her preferences. But our conversation wasn't limited to running; we also explored the world of mindfulness and the potential it holds for improving healthcare.   Overall, this episode was a fascinating exploration of various topics, from running to mindfulness to the future of healthcare. Cheryl's insights and passion for making a difference left me feeling inspired and motivated. So join us on this engaging and thought-provoking journey as we dive deep into the world of fitness, wellness, and personal growth.   Running tips from Cheryl -  Grab a friend, join couch to 5k, commit to your running practice and get a good pair of comfortable shoes.
