Summary

Countryfile presenter and Strictly star Helen Skelton, shows us how getting out in nature and putting one foot in front of the other can help us journey back to ourselves.

Helen Skelton is no stranger to doing hard things, from kayaking the entire length of the Amazon to competing in a boxing match for Sports Relief. Her ability to dig deep and find the inner strength and to carry on no matter the challenge - physical, mental, or emotional - is nothing short of remarkable. Helen grew up on a farm in Cumbria and credits her deep connection with nature and family for grounding her throughout the experiences in her life.

In My Stride explores the lessons Helen has learned through life and adventure, sharing how getting out in nature can help us heal, grow, and find the resilience to move through challenging times in our lives. It tells stories of finding confidence, authenticity, courage, resilience, acceptance, community, and freedom against the backdrop of life's peaks and troughs and through the power of the natural world.

Helen shows us how putting one foot in front of the other - whether that's on the Strictly dance floor or in the great outdoors - can help us to journey back to ourselves.

Humility and humour

Brilliant insight, told with humility and humour. Familiar events from Helen’s career with anecdotes from along the way. Kept me gripped as I empathised and felt compassion with a kindred spirit by the end. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and its candid style.

Excellent

I lived every minute of this book. It is a reflection on so much of my own life and resonant with the trials and tribulations I’ve lived through. I’m nowhere near as adventurous but in my own way I’ve faced trials and tests that could break me but didn’t. Resilience is my motto and boy it’s got me through. Thank you Helen for sharing your story. I think every woman on this planet has a story to be told. I loved your delivery too, it felt as if you were in the room with me. Hope there’ll be a sequel one day x
