Ep 37: "What's the worst that can happen?" With Paula Hickford.

An inspirational journey from journalism through cancer to fitness and ballroom dancing.

If you are going through hell, keep going!”

A quote adopted from Winston Churchill, whilst she found her way through breast cancer treatment.

If you are struggling right now, we invite you to put an hour aside to listen to Paula’s inspirational story. One that shines a light of hope in dark times.

Paula was a national news journalist and feature writer when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. However, this did not stop her climbing Ben Nevis with friends two thirds of her way through 2 years of cancer treatment.

A few years on, inspired by her own experiences, she’s now founder and director of Fitter Stronger Ltd, a fitness company that offers bespoke training and retreats around the world for people looking for greater wellbeing.

Paula has also become an avid and successful competitive Pro-Am ballroom dancer. Who believes in the power of exercise and dance to support one’s wellbeing.

Together we explore how the magic breadcrumbs of life take us on incredible journeys of discovery and growth.

Whether you’re facing your own cancer experience, or are looking to overcome a personal hurdle, we hope you enjoy our conversation and find inspiration from Paula’s tenacity and gentle guidance.
