It was so lovely to have my wonderful friend Becky McCann on the podcast this week!

Becky, who stepped back from a magic circle law career to be a stay at home mum raising 3 amazing children, chats all things motherhood and marathon, as she recently ran 10 half marathons in 10 weeks raising money for the children of Gaza and is now training for the London Marathon 2025 (her second marathon but first post babies!) fundraising for Save the Children.

Her instagram giveaway with some ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE prizes goes live TODAY so don't forget to head over to her instagram to grab your shot at winning some amazing prizes.
