• Ep81: Esmée Gummer - "I was told I would NEVER walk again"

  What would you do if, at 18, you were told you might never walk again? For Esmée Gummer, that moment became the starting line - not the finish. In this episode, we sit down with one of the most positive and driven forces in the running world.   Esmée’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. After a life-altering medical diagnosis, she taught herself to walk again, then run, and eventually push her body and mind to the limits through marathons, ultra-endurance races, and SAS: Who Dares Wins. Now founder of The Say Yes Club, she helps others embrace discomfort and pursue goals they once thought impossible.   We dive into Esmée’s mindset, her approach to mental resilience, and why she is so passionate about helping others. Whether you're training for your first 5K or searching for motivation to overcome life's toughest setbacks, this conversation is packed with inspiration.   Follow Esmée: @esmee_ldn   Thanks to Pillar Performance for supporting this episode.
