Life Unpinned �‪�‬ Ellie Bradfield

My Les Mills training OG Alysha Alvis joins me to reminisce about our Body Pump training weekends for Part One of the FitFam episodes and I am SO BUZZED about it 🙌🏻 💪🏻

We talk about societal obsession with diet culture and body fat percentage, and acknowledge how easy it is to focus on just weight loss and image in people’s health and fitness journeys 🤔....we share our own experiences with taking things too far in our pursuit to be ‘lean’, and how we have managed to find balance and re-ignite our love of exercise, not to mention repping up the group exercise crew 🏃‍♀️ 🥊 🏋🏼‍♀️

We discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the fitness industry, and, how having to take up running in COVID has been pure shite 😩.....oh and how our trainer purchasing habits have gotten out of control 👟 💁🏼‍♀️

Hope you enjoy 🖤

Laura Healey joins me to talk us through her journey of starting a fashion business straight out of University, the boom of her jewellery line during C-19, tips to anyone wanting to start out on their own, how she deals with the pressure of image in the the industry and social media, and the phasing out of influencers....whilst re-living our own fashion faux pa’s, THOSE side fringes, platform heels and painting ourselves in fake tan at University and her actual life being saved by a Primark bangle at Oceana 😂.....whilst giving us a sneak peak into Spring/Summer 2021 ☀️

We talk about ‘starting over’, new style divorces, overcoming the fear of the unknown and blocking out societal pressures to just Do Us 🤍🙌🏻

Rachel joins me to reminisce about our days as Jackie Weaver, 12 hours in police custody, comparing notes on the work study life, dog parent club, your first ever DOMS and our pet hates....whilst, most importantly, sharing her incredible story about coming out in her mid 20’s whilst going through a divorce, simultaneously holding down her career at the House of Commons/Hogwarts....this gal literally epitomises everything ‘Life Unpinned’ is about and I don’t think anything could be more appropriate for LGBT History Month 🌈📍🎧.....One of my fave recordings yet 💛💚💙🧡❤️

Jess, one of my oldest, bestest friends joins me to chew the fat on turning 30, pressure in the salesforce, buying a house, running a marathon, Sankeys, reviews on alcohol free booze, getting a hobby, turning your phone off, sleepover club, our first and only fallout, prank calls and celebrating our friends successes....

Enjoy 🖤📍🎧

Ed called quits off his accounting career to retrain as a Product Developer for an Asset Manager in his mid 20’s and hasn’t looked back. 👀

Recorded from Chez Denyer in East London, there’s not a lot we don’t cover in this episode....From quitting smoking, pleasing your parents, buying a house, Zoom quizzes, House Party, Killing Cats and office chit chat.....through to living on your own during COVID, commuter life, dilly dallyer’s, booze culture, the city life, our blocked lists, red flags and Boys v Girls dating apps.....plus a shit tonne more because we gassed away like two old ladies getting their blue rinse 😂

For the record, and unfortunately this isn’t on the recording, Ed fell off his chair because he had a dead leg, NOT because he had a few beers 🍺.

A few years ago, Abbie uprooted her life and started a brand new life abroad. We discuss it all - the build up to taking the plunge, the journey, the honest hard truth about the tough times, the phenomenal launch of her business during a worldwide pandemic, the b******t societal expectations we face as career driven individuals of a certain age, and...THAT night with the Keys at University.....

Enjoy 📍
