Janette Manrara - "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them"

In today’s episode I head to North London to catch up with the fun, talented, "tiny" fire ball that is Janette Manrara. She's most famously known for her phenomenal career on Strictly Come Dancing, yes, I am talking about her partnerships on the show with the likes of Paralympic Gold Medalist Will Bailey, Dr Ranj and her finals performance with HRVY! She is electric, not just on the dance floor but In her passion and zest for life.

During our Monday Mile stroll, we talk about the power of manifestation, dreaming big, chasing your goals, and Janette's new role as host of BBC Strictly It Takes Two. What I love about this discussion is how open Janette has been with what she wants to achieve publicly, and not through luck, but dedication to the graft. She may be leaving the dance floor, but she is still very much a part of the furniture. Janette we are wishing you all the very best of luck in your new venture. 

Former Team GB double winter Olympian Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities who are excelling in their field, dropping a new episode every Monday.

Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?

Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. 

Dropping every Monday as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
