E6 Women in business, self doubt and how to find your confidence

This week, Claire &amp; Alina speak to Michelle &amp; Ed from The Pilates Pod about their Your Body Rocks campaign, and some of the issues around body image especially among young people.  Michelle opens up about some of the abuse she received in the past from online trolls, and they discuss the importance of understanding that there is no such thing as perfection when it comes to your body. Old doesn't mean unfit, mobility for life doesn't mean extreme flexibility, and health and fitness is more than a clothes label or size. Your Body Rocks celebrates wonderful unique, healthy and inspirational bodies; focussing on achievements and capabilities rather than just how we look. The aim of the campaign is to encourage body confidence and body positivity for all, men, women, young and old. You can join the Your Body Rocks Facebook group and also check out the Your Body Rocks section on the Pilates Pod website.  Instagram: @mindmovementmatters @thepilatespod @ed_painter77 Facebook: @thepilatespod @yourbodyrocks ----- www.get-set-go.com @getsetgolondon
