In this week's episode, I speak with Hayley, a stay-at-home mum of two young boys, who shares her inspiring journey from prescription drug addiction to four years of sobriety.

Hayley talks openly about how she didn't initially recognise that she had developed an addiction and how her dependency gradually took hold of her life. Realising she needed help, she made the courageous decision to admit herself to a rehabilitation clinic and begin her recovery journey.

Now four years sober, Hayley reflects on the challenges she faced, the lessons she has learned, and how recovery has transformed her life for the better. Her story is one of courage, determination, and hope, showing that no matter how difficult things may seem, positive change is possible.

This is an honest and uplifting conversation that highlights the power of seeking support and believing that a brighter future is possible.

In this week’s episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, Maxine shares her latest personal challenge: running every single day throughout April, with a minimum of 2 miles per day.

After completing her recent half marathon, Maxine explains why she always needs a goal to stay motivated and how setting new challenges helps her stay consistent and focused. She also talks about how daily movement builds discipline and confidence over time.

Maxine also introduces a new addition to her training routine — ropeless battle ropes — and explains how they help strengthen the core, improve endurance, and can be used at home without needing much space.

As always, Maxine invites listeners to get involved and reminds everyone that their story could inspire someone else. If you’d like to join the podcast as a guest and share your health or running journey, you can get in touch at:📩 mkbhealthyliving@gmail.com

In this week’s episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, Maxine talks about one of the most important parts of any health journey — motivation.

With a half marathon coming up this Sunday, Maxine shares how having a goal helps keep her focused and committed to training. She discusses why setting goals can make such a difference when it comes to running, improving fitness, and staying consistent.

The episode also explores motivation when it comes to weight loss and healthy living, including reducing alcohol intake, cooking tasty healthy meals, and recognising the importance of seeing progress to stay on track.

Maxine also shares why healthy living doesn’t have to be extreme — it’s about balance, sensible choices, and building habits that last.

At the end of the episode, Maxine invites listeners to become guests on the podcast and share their own health and running journeys to inspire others.
