Holly Brooks joins us for a candid conversation about fitness, running, social media and making the huge decision to leave Manchester for Los Angeles.

We talk about her journey from calorie-deficit content to building Stronger Society, discovering a love for running, marathon training, the reality of moving abroad, loneliness and finding a new community - plus the lessons she's learned from building a career online.
