The One with Sam Taylor and Sue Taylor-Franklin

We talk powerlifting, strongwomen and more in a gem of an episode to start the new year.

We’re kicking off 2021 in style on the podcast with two top guests who just happen to be Britain’s strongest couple.

Sam Taylor and Sue-Taylor Franklin made a bit of history in 2020 when they placed first and second respectively at the Brits Women Masters powerlifting contest.

It was an amazing feat – and almost more impressive is the journey they’ve both been on to reach this stage.

Both have very personal reasons for getting into fitness, strongwomen and powerlifting – and you’ll hear all about it in this conversation.

We also talk body-image and being comfortable with how you look; how sport can help you take control of your life; the pain that social media trolling can cause; what it’s like to compete against your partner; and what 2021 has in store for them both.

Honestly, we could have spent all day talking to Sam and Sue – and it’s a gem of a conversation to kick off a new year on the show.
