In Episode 37 of the MEE-FIT Podcast, Dan sits down with coach Sarah to talk about her personal journey with health, fitness and becoming part of the coaching team.Sarah’s story will sound familiar to many people.For years her approach to exercise was very much all or nothing.She would train hard for a period of time, then life would get busy and it would disappear again.Work, relationships, pregnancy, raising two daughters and managing ulcerative colitis meant that looking after herself slowly slipped further down the priority list.Eventually she reached a point where she felt mentally and physically drained.On Christmas Day 2024 she made a decision to change that.Starting with a simple challenge of exercising for 31 minutes a day in January, Sarah rebuilt her relationship with health and fitness through one key principle: consistency.In this conversation we discuss:• Why the all-or-nothing mindset holds people back• How small consistent actions create long-term change• The guilt many parents feel about taking time for themselves• Why prioritising your health benefits your whole family• How Sarah transitioned from restarting her fitness to coaching at MEE-FITIf you’ve ever struggled to find time for yourself, or felt like it’s “too late” to start again, this episode is a powerful reminder that change is always possible.
