Pretty Honest is real life health and fitness for real women, with stories, opinions, and the occasional rant when something is doing my tits in.
Hosted by Alex, a straight talking northern coach, this podcast blends real client conversations, what is actually happening with women right now, and practical coaching you can use straight away.
Each episode covers what is going on behind the scenes, why women are struggling, what does not work, what actually does work, and a strong woman shoutout from the community.
It is honest, grounded, sometimes blunt, and always about helping women feel stronger physically and mentally.
No pretending. No sickly sweet positivity. Just real talk and real coaching.
In this episode, I’m chatting about what’s going on in the world, life with ADHD and why it can feel like the odds are stacked against us when we’re trying to build healthier habits.
Honest thoughts, a few tangents and a good rant. You might recognise a bit of yourself in this one.

Just real talk on why you’re not where you want to be and what needs to change.
So… are you actually stuck, or just avoiding it? 👀
