In this episode I talk to Sarah Newman, founder of Get Me Back, shares her journey and insights on the importance of exercise for women recovering from cancer. She discusses how exercise can empower women, improve recovery outcomes, and help regain control over their bodies. The conversation covers various aspects of exercise, including strength training, nutrition, and the significance of community support. Sarah emphasises the need for personalised exercise programs and the mental shifts required to redefine exercise goals post-cancer treatment.
