    Helen Thorn - I could not identify with the person I was

    What happens when the life you’ve built for more than 20 years suddenly falls apart, and you no longer recognise the person staring back at you? In this episode of The Showing Up Stronger Podcast, I sit down with Helen Thorn – award-winning comedian, Sunday Times bestselling author, one half of the hugely successful Scummy Mummies duo, marathon runner and mum of two teenagers. But this isn’t just a conversation about comedy. It’s a conversation about losing yourself, rebuilding your identity and discovering that sometimes your strongest chapter begins after your world has fallen apart. Helen opens up with incredible honesty about navigating divorce after 22 years, finding herself unexpectedly raising children as a single mum during lockdown and the overwhelming feeling that she could no longer identify with the person she had become. We talk about the messy middle that nobody prepares you for, the grief, loneliness, smoking, drinking, survival mode and learning to sit with difficult emotions instead of running from them. We also talk about joy. How movement transformed her life, how she went from barely running a 5km to completing all six World Marathon Majors, and why she’s discovered that strength isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up for yourself, one small step at a time. Together, we discuss: •⁠ ⁠Rebuilding your identity after divorce •⁠ ⁠Why motherhood looks different and better as a single parent •⁠ ⁠The power of humour in surviving difficult seasons •⁠ ⁠How running became her anchor through life’s biggest changes •⁠ ⁠Learning to say no, protect your peace and stop seeking validation from others Helen is refreshingly honest, brilliantly funny and deeply inspiring. This conversation is a reminder that no matter how broken you feel, you’re never starting from scratch, you’re simply building the next version of yourself. Sometimes showing up stronger starts with one simple decision, it’s choosing yourself again. •⁠ ⁠Follow Helen on Instagram •⁠ ⁠Follow Showing Up Stronger •⁠ ⁠Follow Sarah Campus This series is proudly Sponsored by Revive Active who are offering an exclusive discount for all Showing Up Stronger Podcast listeners use code STRONGER15.

    The lump that changed everything. “What does it mean to keep showing up when life completely changes course?

Helen shares the raw reality of building a successful career in television, navigating redundancy after 25 years in the industry, and the life-changing moment she discovered a lump that led to a breast cancer diagnosis at just 39 years old. Together, we talk about: •⁠ ⁠Resilience, motherhood, identity, and grief •⁠ ⁠Finding humor and perspective during cancer treatment •⁠ ⁠Health advocacy and trusting your instincts •⁠ ⁠Why strength is just about taking the next step, even when you're scared Helen's honesty and perspective are deeply moving.

    Michelle Griffith Robinson - If not you, then who?

    If not you, then who? From a little girl in Wembley with big dreams to becoming an Olympian, life coach, women's health advocate, mother, and mentor, Michelle Griffith Robinson's story is a masterclass of resilience, courage, and backing yourself. In this powerful conversation, Michelle shares the lessons she's learned through elite sport, motherhood, business, personal heartbreak, and life's toughest challenges. We talk about identity beyond achievement, overcoming mum guilt, advocating for your health, building a support system, and finding strength in vulnerability. Her honesty about navigating her mother's illness and her belief that "vulnerability is strength" left a lasting impact on me. This episode is a reminder that success isn't just medals, titles, or accolades—it's the people you love, the lives you impact, and having the courage to keep showing up for yourself. As Michelle says: "Everything's going to be okay. Trust the process. Back yourself. If not you, then who?" Listen to the full episode and let us know; what's one area of your life where you need to back yourself a little more?
