Episode 27: Julie Creffield is an award-winning entrepreneur, community engagement strategist, business mentor, author and transformational coach as well as a Run England Run Leader. In 2010 Julie founded the plus-size fitness movement Too Fat to Run? which has helped millions of women around the world to get active and changed the face of sport for plus-size women. It positioned her as an expert in building online tribes, following her 15 year career in community engagement offline.

Julie has dismantled the belief system associated with sport of needing to be the fastest, strongest, toughest etc and the stigma/barrier around fitness and being plus-sized. She has completed many challenges including several triathalons and 5 marathons to date.

We talk about the intrinsic fear many women face when pursuing their dreams and goals - the fear of judgement (from people we don't even know!) What will people think/say? And if that's not bad enough, then comes the fear of failure and fear of success!!!

Julie is a born leader and in her book 'Leading from the back' she goes into what archetype you are and how best to leverage those unique qualities. She is known for creating successful tribes and her movement 'too fat to run?' is still going strong.
