Let’s talk about that goal for a moment. You know that goal. That one you haven’t shared with anyone. Perhaps it’s just a whisper of a thought. Perhaps it crossed your mind and you immediately dismissed it as impossible or even stupid. It’s so far beyond the realms of what you think is possible, you dismiss it when it […]
Continue readingSelf-belief is such a murky, fluid concept. Some days you feel on top of the world and unstoppable. The next, it’s gone and you’re convinced you were fooling yourself and you aren’t (and will never be) ready / good / fast enough (hello, Imposter Complex) or able to achieve the goals you’ve set.So how do you […]
Continue readingIf I had a dollar for every time a woman said to me she isn’t “very sporty” or isn’t very good at sports, I’d be writing this in a deck chair with a lime margarita in the Cook Islands rather than my home office with a coffee on a Saturday afternoon 🙂 When I ask a […]
Continue readingThis is definitely my most personal interview yet. If you’ve been around here for a while, I have no doubt you’ve read (here, here and here) about how my fear and self-doubt held me back from launching this podcast well over 12 months ago (when I originally planned to). The reason - my Imposter Complex was running […]
Continue readingShe whispered it so quietly I almost missed it. But it could be one of the most profound things I’ve ever heard… My long-winded question ended with: “Where do you think resilience and grit come from?” Her answer, quite simply: “Privilege”.

A throwaway line meant to be motivational and help you keep pushing towards your goal even when you’re struggling. But you and I both know it can be hard to see the light in the darkness sometimes. But when you hear the […]
Continue readingWould you describe yourself as adventurous?Wanna know something?You’re more adventurous than you think you are. It’s easy to think that being “adventurous” is reserved for those “crazy people” who abseil down sheer cliffs, run across continents or climb the highest mountains of the world. However, the reality is that being adventurous is a mindset and you can […]
Continue readingI have a challenge for you. What’s your current BHAG (big hairy audacious goal)? You know, the big one. The one that’s so big, scary or beyond what you’ve currently achieved you’ve never even whispered it to someone…. Now make it bigger. Longer, harder, higher, faster, more extreme, more challenging, more daring - whatever it is that floats your […]
Continue readingThink about the last time you felt apprehensive, anxious, scared or full of self-doubt? Chances are you were doing one of two things; reflecting on what happened in the past (and worrying that it was going to happen again) or projecting into the future about what could happen (and visualising a thousand different outcomes, all of […]
Continue readingMy goal with this podcast is to explore the question: how do you find the courage and bravery to chase your dreams? The flippant answer is to say - just do it.
