32. Nadiya Hussain: Living my dream

Joe Wicks finds out what keeps TV baker Nadiya Hussain mentally and physically strong.

The UK’s favourite fitness coach is back with series three of his podcast. This summer, Joe is speaking to inspirational friends and some of his favourite people to ask them what they do to keep themselves feeling mentally and physically strong.

In this episode Joe chats to TV baker, presenter and author Nadiya Hussain, who shot to fame in 2015 after winning The Great British Bake Off. Nadiya has not only only inspired millions to bake, but has also raised vital conversations about mental health.

Joe and Nadiya chat about her upbringing in Luton and how her parents taught her to love cooking – from her dad's legendary sheep roasting every weekend to her mum's homely, traditional Bangladeshi dinners. They also discuss Nadiya's struggles with anxiety and depression along the way, and how she's learnt to cope through walking in the woods.

This is sunshine in a podcast. Joe Wicks is here for you, and he won’t stop until you’re fit and happy.
