Episode Synopsis "002 Life, Oh Life: Poorna Bell – Strength, The Ghost Of Shite PE Experiences Past And... Life Advice"

The second episode of Life, Oh Life, a new podcast about life advice, with former HuffPost UK and Press Association journalist Becky Barnes.  This week’s guest is author and journalist Poorna Bell, whose third book Stronger: Changing Everything I Knew About Women’s Strength came out in April 2021. Poorna, a public speaker and mental health advocate, started lifting weights after her husband Rob died in 2015. She is now a competitive powerlifter, who found this empowering form of exercise helped her live with her grief. In this episode we talk about her book Stronger, fitness and exercise, mental wellbeing, confidence and strength. We talk about social conditioning, the ghost of shite PE experiences past, bodies, social media and being an auntie, among other things. And as this is a podcast about life advice, Poorna shares the best advice she’s been given, the advice she’d give her former self and the advice she wants to pass on to others. I'd love to hear your constructive feedback about the episode and please do share, rate and review.
