Anne welcomes guest Kim Rahir, a former journalist turned European champion in masters weightlifting. Kim shares her journey of overcoming a diagnosis of MS through natural methods and embracing women's health and weightlifting. The conversation explores the importance of physical strength for women, especially as they age, and the need to prioritise self-care. Kim emphasises the significance of assessing individual strength and mobility levels before embarking on a fitness journey, highlighting the dangers of following generic workout routines without considering personal capabilities. She offers insights on building core strength and provides practical advice for midlife women looking to improve their physical well-being. The episode concludes with a powerful message about overcoming guilt and self-worth issues to focus on taking positive steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

BEST MOMENTS

"Weightlifting is a sport that's practiced according to weight categories. And it starts at 49 kilos, which is, I mean, I think there's even a weight category of 45, which is, you know, just below 100 pounds."

"I think that physical strength is somehow the key to overall health and happiness, particularly in women." 

"Many women spend an entire lifetime trying to shrink, become smaller, comply with aesthetic ideals of what a woman's body should look like."

"I think it's really important to notice also that there's no judgment attached to that. It doesn't mean that you have done everything wrong." 

"You can set yourself up to win at the game of life. Become familiar with the laws of the universe. You have infinite potential."

HOST BIO

Anne originally trained as a maths and science teacher but then chose to qualify as an accountant and worked in business for 12 years. Having recognised that there was more to life than a successful career – specifically working long hours to make money for other people at the expense of her own health – she quit the rat race and returned to her first love: teaching, but on a part-time basis. Fascinated by psychology, philosophy and theology, she is now a successful trainer, speaker and author, who enjoys sharing her passion, purpose and knowledge with a growing audience.
