    S13 Ep10: LUCY SHEPHERD ON HER NEW DOCUMENTARY AND THE ADDICTIVE ELEMENT OF EXPLORING
    Nov 18 2024

    For the final episode in this series of the @Monday_mile_series, I’m linking up with a lady who is hardcore, from expedition to exploration, she has taken adventure to a whole new level… it’s @lucysheps
    From the mountains, to the arctic, to the jungle, Lucy has quite literally done it all. We chat about her incredible adventures, why she does what she does and some of the amazing things she’s seen along the way.
    We discuss her new @channel4 documentary series, ‘Secret Amazon: Into the Wild’ which sees Lucy and an indigenous team embark on an unprecedented Amazon expedition. The series tries to highlight the destruction of our planet due to global warming. Lucy and I chat about her passion for creating change, insisting that we need to do something NOW, in order to save the planet.
    We also chat about the ‘addictive’ element of exploring and Lucy opens up about how vulnerable you have to be with your team mates and yourself, but also that it shows you just how strong you can be when pushed to your limit.
    It was great chatting to Lucy this week, an incredibly strong woman with an even stronger mission…

Best known for her time as a professional dancer on #Strictly Come Dancing, she’s now an author, broadcaster and regularly graces our screens hosting @bbcmorninglive and @bbcstrictly It Takes Two.

    She opens up about dancing with her partner Aljaž and how dancing together and finding that ‘flow state’ with someone you love is one of the most euphoric things she’s ever experienced.

    We chat about her new book ‘Tiny Dancer Big World’, how much she poured into the book and how it felt like a bit of therapy for her and like she was giving birth to another child!

    I had such a great time chatting with Janette Manrara, she really is a force to be reckoned with!
