This is my mothers day special! (Mothers day was on 11th May in New Zealand so releasing this on the 15th counts right?). Join me for this extra special interview with one of the most inspiring women I know. She doesn't let a neurological disorder hold her back as she knows how important exercise is for her mental health. My mum drilled into me that positive mental attitude can get you through almost anything and after listening to this interview I hope we get the whole world singing it!
