Highway to Well
Hi and welcome to Highway to Well's first podcast series all about Inspirational people! I’m Sally Parkinson and I’ll be your host chatting to many people who have inspired me along the way. I’m really excited to share with you some incredible people that I’ve met on my journey, find out what motivates them and also find out who has inspired them.
Highway to Well was born last year. After caring for my mum through her journey with Dementia, I realised how much I had neglected my own well-being. Watching my parents struggle without the retirement they deserved, largely due to health issues, made me see the importance of taking charge of our health today so we can enjoy life tomorrow.
Throughout that journey with Mum I’ve been fortunate enough to meet people who have inspired me in many different ways. Some are from the fitness world, showing me the value of hard work and commitment. Others are alternative healers, who have opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about health and life balance. I’m also inspired by self-employed people I know personally, who have faced big challenges and found ways to overcome them to reach their goals. Each of these individuals has taught me something important and motivated me to keep going, no matter what obstacles I face.
We’ll be chatting and sharing stories about life in general and the hurdles we’ve faced along the way. How we stay positive and deal with challenges like imposter syndrome and confidence. We’ll be asking what makes life interesting, how do we cope with the pressures of everyday life, making time for eating well and that all important work/life balance.
I can’t wait to get started, I know that there will be some laughs along the way, some amazing tips and I hope that you will find at least one golden nugget of information in each episode that will help you on your journey. So grab a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the show.

The Power of Two
In this podcast episode, I am delighted to welcome this brilliant couple, Personal Trainer at CHF Gym Hollie Redman and Jade Gooding, Yoga & Pilates instructor, to discuss their fitness journeys, inspirations, and the challenges they've faced. Hollie shares the history of CHF gym, a family business started by her parents when she was 14, and her eventual involvement despite initial reluctance. Jade shares her transition from performing arts to fitness, starting pilates and yoga during the lockdown, and the evolution of her business to include online content and retreats. The conversation explores how both women keep their classes innovative, the importance of personal connections with clients, and balancing work with personal life. Hollie and Jade also discuss the critical moments and lessons learned throughout their careers, emphasising resilience and authenticity. The episode concludes with a look towards the future and the continuous evolution of their work and lives.
