'Weightlifting gives you confidence to walk into any area and know that you're capable'

Intensive care nurse Siobhan began power lifting four years ago to help with a back injury.

This year she was diagnosed with PTSD, following her experiences during the pandemic.

Siobhan explains to 5 Live’s Naga Munchetty, how her hobby became her coping mechanism.

’Lifting just makes you feel really good’.

After achieving national success, she has now been invited to train with team GB.

‘To be in a room with my idols, I just have to keep pinching myself.’
