Charlie is an experienced broadcaster, journalist, writer and documentary maker across both TV, Radio and Podcasts.
She’s been on the covers of "Women's Running" and “FHM Magazine UK”, and has done 3 Ironman Triathlons and 14 Marathons including London and New York City.
Tragedy struck Charlie while doing a 3,000-mile race when she got Malaria, was put in a coma, and on life support. Doctors gave her less than 24 hours to live, which made global headlines. Doctors were baffled at her recovery and that she's still running marathons and is not going to stop!
Professionally, she has worked globally for major TV networks and studios and had in-depth interviews with global superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and David Beckham.
Charlie has recently released ‘Surviving El Chapo: The Twins Who Brought Down a Drug Lord’ working with Lionsgate and G-Unit productions. She developed the story, wrote, produced, as well as co-hosted the podcast with Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson.
She is also the host of her own podcast Died and Survived with Charlie Webster.
Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s episode:
· Her 3,000-mile race, malaria, being put into a coma and on life support.
· How your childhood impacts the way you see the world as an adult.
· The importance of looking after your mental health
· How to avoid comparison with others and against your past self.
· Self-esteem vs self-confidence and why you need to know the difference
· And much more.

I dislocated my knee two weeks and torn the MCL..
Fortunately, or unfortunately (depending on your perspective), this isn’t my first injury..
I know the rehabilitation process at this stage and anyone who has ever got injured knows the same..
But that wasn’t the part I struggled with the most..
It was the mental side of injury or having to supportive mindset that could help me recover..
Often, especially in my late teens/early twenties I would get full blown circumstantial depression from being injured..
Thankfully I’ve worked on my mindset a lot over the years and know reframe injuries as opportunities.
Today's podcast is the four ways that I do that.
Ali is a nutritionist and registered dietician that specializes in subfertility and pre pregnancy preparation.

Today’s podcast is for anybody interested in preparing their body for pregnancy in the next 6-12 months.
Although the plan was to focus was on female fertility, we talk a lot about how men can prepare too (if a couple is struggling).

Here are some of the things we talked about:
- The pre fertility diet (for women and adjustments needed for men)
- The foods to avoid and what to include
- Alcohol and caffeine – can you have them or not?
