Over-thinking? Been there. Still go there sometimes. That's why I built these tools. This episode came straight out of a one-on-one coaching session and what came up felt too good not to share. I'm walking you through five techniques for breaking the overthinking spiral, including some for right in the thick of it and some to build into your life before it even hits. I also get a little vu...

In this episode, I share with you some of the work of Dr. John De Martini. A world-renowned polymath who has created a breakthrough experience to help everyone let go of emotions that keep us stuck and trapped, hurting ourselves more than those we feel those negative emotions about. It certainly changed my life and think it is worth sharing. If you ever decide to work with him, your past and futur...

See part 1 description :) Catch you on the flippity flip

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Nadine. A way she once described herself was a 'pocket rocket'. After this interview, I realised that although the diagnosis of MS has changed what that means physically for Nadine it has not changed that one bit about her spirit. She is always holding the perspective of what she CAN do which seems near impossible to us on the outside who would...

In this Episode we discuss how the pursuit of a really hard goal can shape you as a person! It can call for an identity re-assessment and allow you to evolve into the next version of yourself. Misogi is a Japanese concept adapted to modern times as a big goal or feat that you set once a year. It can take the whole year or it can be a concentrated effort eg. the Everest Summit. Your Misogi has to h...

If you can't overcome the fear, then do it scared! This is one of my favourite sentiments from this episode with Troy Sitkowski. He is Australia's 2025 World Games athlete. Every 4 years for non-olympic sports Australia selects one male (if australia earns the spot) to go and compete at this event. Troy both earned the spot for our country and then again proved his capability by being selected as...

In this episode, I talk about my first experiences of building the skill of self-awareness. I explore seeing my own patterns and starting to shift them. I'll give some insight into learning that your emotions do not always have to govern your actions. There is a space between emotion and action where you have an opportunity to be self-aware. You get to choose whether you react or respond. Enjoy! x...

In this episode I talk to Olympian Brock Batty who had a whirlwind of an experience as he describes it in 2024. With as little as three months notice he was the highest scoring Aussie, at 17 years old, just in the nick of time for Olympic selection. It wasn't even on his radar for this cycle months before that. We talk in depth about his obsession and love for being an elite athlete and devoti...

Meet my brother! In this episode I've invited my brother Thomas to talk about his learnings in his teaching and coaching careers so far. How setting boundaries, meeting kids where they are at and teaching life skills through gamification is how he feels he can make the most impact. What I have gained from Thomas's insights is that school and sport are training grounds for life. Teach kids...

In this episode I share some of my learnings from a seminar I attended by Dr. John De Martini. I found his philosophy and way of viewing the world quite transformative. I wanted to share one of the many titbits I frantically scribbled in my notebook as he spoke. Reflecting on the fears that stop you from actualising and being able to be your most authentic self is a topic I have found so much valu...

Desperate for your goals or detached? Big misses on goals you had your eye on for a long time can be heartbreaking. Is there another way to feel? I would say yes, but it takes some practice. Maybe there's a goal that you're still wanting to achieve, and you feel like the more you chase it, the further away it runs. Could you be standing in your own way by how you are perceiving your goals?...

Tom and I discuss the life lessons that Tom imparts on the athletes that he coaches, including myself. We talk about why Tom decided to coach and his mission as a coach as well as diving deeper into the meaning behind the things he says to his athletes. It's a privilege to have Tom as a coach and a mentor. His impact has certainly been a big part of my very different, certainly better, relatio...

PART 1 - In this Episode Emma and I discuss the challenge in elite sport and in life of tying your identity to the titles you have been given by others growing up, and maintained yourself into teenage and adult life. Can you have a positive relationship with your titles? Will they always be a measure of how special or loved you feel based on whether you perform or not? Emma discusses the emotional...

Today we dive into why I called this podcast The Flip Side! A great discussion on paradoxes and how we are surrounded by them. Can you allow both truths to co-exist?

Talking about how to fail better and why it's absolutely necessary. In this episode I explore why the brain needs failure to progress and how we can condense the window of emotional hardship; not by suppressing it, but instead, finding an opportunity within it.
