Summary

She's an Olympic athlete, a brilliant life coach, and a busy mum of three - it's the awesome Michelle Griffith-Robinson!

We hear all about how she became a medal-winning triple jumper, choice versus sacrifice, and whether it's true that all the athletes are having it off behind the scenes.

We talk about Michelle's life now and she shares her top tip if you're planning a home renovation. She gives us some inspirational, motivational advice for living life to the full. Plus, we discuss her strict rules for screentime and school reports.

There's some serious chat as Michelle tells us about her work for Women's Aid. She explains the one thing you should never say to someone in an abusive relationship, and what to say instead.

We round off, of course, with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, and a cheeky bit of chat about Mel B's wedding.
