It's a properly raw, unfiltered conversation about shame, motherhood, addiction to alcohol and food, and what it actually takes to climb out of a hole rather than just fall into one, which feels especially timely for any woman in midlife still carrying decades of dieting baggage and quiet exhaustion.\nIn this episode, join Lise and discover:\nWhy Sally's \"accidental\" business began with a bottle and a half of wine most nights, and how a soggy dishcloth in the kitchen became her rock bottom moment\nThe story behind booking an Ironman with zero triathlon experience, four days after being declared bankrupt in Blackpool, and crossing the finish line at 17 hours 12 minutes\nWhy Sally believes \"life gets in the way\" is one of the most damaging excuses women make, and what she says instead\nThe real difference between \"ownership\" and \"awareness\" that reshaped the whole approach behind her book, Shit to Shiny\nWhy 800 women doing a simple 20-minute daily walking challenge, including one who'd never seen a sunrise at 55, taught Sally more about lasting change than any diet ever did\nQuote of the episode\n\"Anybody can fall into a hole, anybody. Even the most perfect person can fall, but nobody can fall out of the hole. You've got to climb out yourself.\" - Sally Wilkinson\nUseful links\nSally's website: https://thesallywilkinson.com/\nSally on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesallywilkinson/\nSally's book, Shit to Shiny: https://ebury.lnk.to/thesh-ttoshinymethod\nBe a part of the show: Here's how to get in touch...\nFollow the show and get all the links you need on LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/walking_this_way\nEmail us: walkingthisway@hotmail.com\nUse the get in touch form HERE -...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hFSwcVxMBT1ea_hy7S91l-WN2uC4RqNAcSpeeZiIQos/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MGMw/OTMyNWY2ODFmMzJi/YzMyNGQzNjM4ZTYw/ZGY0ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
