Rachel Cullen @rachel_running_for_my_life

Welcome to a new episode of the What Next Mum Podcast!

In this episode I am delighted to speak to Rachel Cullen, a runner, Mum of 1 and author of 3 books: Running for my life, A midlife cyclist and her latest book - Running for our lives, which is out in May but available to pre-order now.

Rachel talks about her mental health problems which made her initially think that motherhood was not for her but after quitting her job as a lawyer  to become a personal trainer and being in a stable relationship, she had her daughter.  Just 7 months after birth Rachel ran the London Marathon for the first time.  

We talk about how running helped her cope with motherhood and her sense of identity and what led her to write her books.

I really hope you enjoy this episode. If so, please take the time to leave a review and even better, share it on your social media.

Thanks for listening!
