We also have the second part of the interview with Emma-Jane, if you didn't listen to episode 12, please do!

We cover themes of domestic violence, rape and addiction to warn listeners who require a trigger warning.
More from Girl. Woman. Athlete.
Celebrate the 50th Episode of Girl. Woman. Athlete. with Sophia! Reflecting on the show, Sophia describes how she started the show to encourage more women to get active, try new challenges and live their best lives. Guest this week, Sharon Prutton, epitomises this attitude. Aged 75, her journey with movement has taken twists and turns. Sophia talks to Sharon about her life, the attitude that keeps her seeking more challenges and what she's learnt over decades of competing.
In this episode you'll join Sophia's Merrell Spring Challenge Support crew, Abby & Rowan, for a race day run through - spoiler alert - the team does pretty well!
Rosie Murphy is an architect passionate about how we interact with our environment and vice versa. Hailing from London and now calling Otautahi home, Rosie shares that although she's done hard things - running a marathon and hiking 1,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail - she's most proud of the place Ecstatic Dance has brought her within herself. Rosie shares her insights as well as what it's currently like trying to move in a body that is making space for a whole new life. Listen now!
We are back! it's been almost 3 months since the last episode and we are very excited to be back and sharing more stories of women out there getting active. In this episode, Sophia White, host, is put in the hot seat for questioning so you can learn more about her. Then Sophia and and Holly Weston (friend of the show) go deep into tales of their recent bikepacking escapades in Japan and on the Camino de Santiago. Expect great tales, crucial tips and enough laughs to convince you that yes, you should adventure on your bike!
In this episode Sophia is joined by Sophie Shallard, winner of the 2 day Coast to Coast. She's 22, she's energetic, she's already got 4 adventure races under her belt and has had to bounce back from some serious setbacks. Sophie tells us all about her winning Coast to Coast race (and how it didn't quite go as she planned!), the lessons she's learned and why having fun is absolutely key. If we could bottle Sophie's attitude, we might all be winners!
