After months away from the mic, Sarah Woodcock returns to Fit2Lead with the kind of episode that hits different — one she didn't plan to record this way. Between a funeral back in the UK, moving house, surgery and recovery, life quietly pulled the plug on her routine, her training and her podcast. In this raw, honest comeback, Sarah opens up about the guilt of stopping, the unexpected gift of rest, and why she's no longer trying to rebuild everything overnight. If you've ever fallen off track and felt like you have to be "perfect" before you start again — this episode is your permission slip to just take one small step. No big plan. No pressure. Just real talk about consistency, burnout and what fitness and leadership actually look like when life isn't cooperating.
