Golden Tails and Trails | Canicross Running and Weight loss for women | Lose weight, get fit and stay motivated through running and canicross with your dog
Welcome to Golden Tails & Trails, the podcast where I am here to help you lose weight, get fit and stay motivated through running and Canicross — with my two four-legged co-hosts, Skye and Daisy, trotting right alongside us.
I’m SJ, a women’s fitness and Canicross coach, and together with my dog buddies, I’m here to guide you through everything from getting started on the trails to staying motivated on the tough days.
If you’re a woman who wants to feel healthier, stronger and more confident — and you want your dog to be part of the journey — this podcast is your new weekly home.
Each episode brings you simple fitness tips, realistic weight-loss strategies, mindset support, canicross guidance, and honest conversations about life, womanhood and staying active. And yes — expect plenty of fun moments and dog-fuelled chaos from Skye and Daisy along the way.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be a runner.
You just need a pair of trainers… and your dog.
We’re here to walk, jog, run (and sometimes laugh) with you — one trail at a time. 🐾✨

Hey mumma!
Do you find yourself scrolling IG looking at all the beautiful people and their homes? Then you look up and look at all the toys on the floor, the dirty dishes in your kitchen and the piles of laundry that need sorting?
I've been there too and found myself questioning myself and feeling like i am failing and just not good enough.
Today I get super real and honest in this episode and there are a few tears too as I talk you through how I am feeling about Instagram and why i am doing a 30 day detox!
Like my coach Stef did for me I am here to give you permission to get off social media and be present where you feet are and show up for those small people that need you!
As i recorded this i am 7 days into my IG detox and I am feeling GOOD!
If you feeling called to take a step back from IG and want to join me in this detox drop me an email at hell@networktoempowerher.com or come and find me in my Facebook community where i hang out!
