Who are you when life changes the roles that once defined you? Team GB powerlifter, personal trainer and mum Natalie Hurdley shares how she has navigated life's many transitions while discovering strength that goes far beyond the barbell. She reflects on how motherhood, running a business and competing at the highest level have shaped her identity, and why empowering women to overcome their fear of the gym has become her mission. Discover why building muscle is vital for long-term health, confidence and independence and what it truly means to keep lifting for life.
KEY TAKEAWAY
"When you get a barbell in your hands and you learn how to move it safely and load that weight up, that extra level of confidence is like nothing else. It's incredible, because you realise what your body is actually capable of."
