Mixed Up Book Club with Poorna Bell on what a ‘strong woman’ actually looks like and the important links between mental health and physical strength

The one where we realise strong women are always learning

Emma and Nicole speak to award-winning journalist, author and competitive powerlifter, Poorna Bell about her new book Stronger: Changing Everything I Knew About Women’s Strength. We discuss the shift in what a “strong woman” actually looks like, how the fitness industry can create safe spaces for women of colour, and the grassroots communities that are shaking the table.
