    12: Tyler Saunders: Redefining Impossible
    Mar 7 2022
    It's the last episode of series one and we're finishing on such an amazing guest! Tyler Saunders is a father, online coach, personal trainer and wheelchair basketball athlete. He was born with a disability, and spent years questioning his self worth, having doubts and low confidence, but using the power of health and fitness he turned this around. Despite being born with only one leg, he has made it his mission to redefine the impossible, while overcoming self perceived barriers for himself and also helping others do the same to feel their best.
    In our conversation we discuss his early years and how he changed his career to work in the fitness industry, and have a very raw vulnerable chat about his mindset and how he shifted it to being proud of the person he has become and how his daughters are his biggest driving force. We also discuss his goals, his routine, his affirmations and how meditation has changed his life. We touch on his views of failure and also how no matter what, having the courage to never give up has unlocked a life he never expected. Tyler also throws a few questions back at me (which I love) and lets us into a secret that no one knows about him.
    Tyler is such an incredible human, and I left the conversation feeling seriously inspired and wanting to push my own limits, get out of my own way and sharpen up my own self affirmations.  This is one not to be missed!

    11: Charlotte Clarke: 100km Ultramarathon Runner
    Feb 28 2022
    Charlotte Clarke is an adventurer and endurance athlete who is passionate about encouraging others no matter the obstacles. Growing up Charlotte was a professional dancer who had to undergo 2 heart surgeries which changed her perception of sport and made her realise performance based goals are much more healthy than aesthetic ones.
    In our conversation we chat about Charlotte's surgeries, dig deep into her mindset and how her running journey went from starting out with a 5k to now racing 100k ultras for fun! We also chat about the importance of goals, the struggles of what training for these big races look like, routine, discipline and how comparing yourself to others takes the joy out of movement.
    Charlotte is a seriously inspiring driven woman who has her eyes set on some huge goals. I honestly was left feeling so motivated and even contemplating putting my toe back into 100km race! I hope you are left feeling excited and inspired to reach for those big dreams and goals after listening to Charlotte and knowing that no matter the obstacle you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

    10: Joseph Bird: Challenging Stereotypes
    Feb 21 2022
    Joseph Bird is a disability advocate, spreading positivity on disability while also challenges stereotypes. He was born 12 weeks premature and suffered a brain haemorrhage at four days old resulting in him having Cerebral Palsy. But Joseph's drive and determination is second to none and he has taught himself to walk, run and jump, he pushes himself in the gym and has completely transformed his body to tackle one of his biggest fears - he is also sponsored by My Protein.
    In our chat we discuss topics ranging from his mindset, his routines and his acceptance of his disability, and we discuss a subject he’s never told anyone about: a strong resentment he felt in his teens and how he overcame it. We also touch on his support network, his biggest inspiration, his dating, goals and how he managed to keep moving forward during lockdown.
    Joseph is an incredible human being, such a pleasure to talk to and he shared his story in such a vulnerable and honest way, leaving me feeling so inspired and motivated. I hope this episode helps to give you the confidence to really push for the goals that scare you and the belief that you really can succeed when the odds are against you.
    Joseph loves to connect with people while sharing his journey so if you’d love to chat to him you can contact him through Instagram @CPTruths.

    9: Olivia Tom: The CrossFit Nurse
    Feb 14 2022
    Liv, well where do I start? She is an ICU nurse who has worked through the entire pandemic.  She is also an aspiring CrossFit athlete who never fails to inspire me with her work ethic and discipline. She is someone who I have always looked up to and is simply an incredible human being.
    We chat about how life was for her during such a hard testing time over the past 2 years, and how she used her passion for training as an outlet for stress relief as well as working towards a huge dream. We discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and support networks, why you should find a form of fitness you love and how you simply can never fail, only learn and focus on becoming the best you can be.
    We also discuss goal setting, what makes her proud and what/who inspires her.  A big topic is about Liv’s habits and her non-negotiables as well as why she is so passionate about growing her platform on social media.
    I first met Liv when I was in hospital 5 years ago and she popped down on her break to say hello, catch up and do a workout in my hospital room - can’t beat a good burpee or 2! To this day and even more so after our conversation, I feel so determined, so positive and she given me so much food for thought about how I am going to tackle this year and my goals, so I hope you feel the same.

    Sam is someone I have followed for some time and someone who has always reminded me of the importance of keeping my mental health in check, how overall wellness needs to be a top priority to be able to perform your best in whatever you are setting out to achieve. This is a wholesome, yet in depth chat touching on some tough subjects but overall it left me feeling connected to who I am and what I wanted yet inspired and motivated to keep aligned to my true values and goals.

    Jan 24 2022
    Dean is an award winning barber and business owner who has fought against life changing auto immune disease ulcerative colitis. Dean is an amazing guy who not only shares his story of his diagnosis, his operations and how that affected his mind and body but also the power of saying no, how it is key to follow your passions and why it's so important to look after yourself first.
    In this conversation we cover many topics from his hobbies, habits and views on mental health, especially male mental health and being open about what you are going through. We also discuss his career, how he has got to where he is now but also how is illness impacted it and how it will never stop him pursuing his big goals - one being helping others to overcome adversity.
    Dean talks about why he loves a daily cold shower and how being comfortable in being uncomfortable is something we all need to learn. He also shares his favourite self development reads - A Company of One by Paul Jarvis, Start With Why by Simon Sinek, and Atomic Habits by James Clear.
    I have known Dean for nearly 10 years and so, although I knew some of his story, hearing more in depth about his journey and how much he has grown, his positivity and determination to just keep striving for those big goals inspires me to dig a little deeper into my own goals and really push for achieving my wildest dreams. I hope this episode does the same for you.

  • 5: Nick Talbot: The First Man With Cystic Fibrosis To Summit Mount Everest

    5: Nick Talbot: The First Man With Cystic Fibrosis To Summit Mount Everest
    Jan 17 2022
    Nick is an inspiration to the Cystic Fibrosis Community for not only the work he does to raise awareness and money but also for the huge challenges he pushes his mind and body through while having Cystic Fibrosis.
    In this episode we are taken through a journey of what happened when Nick was diagnosed at 13 years old with CF and the fact his parents where told he was only expected to live until he was 16 to him achieving at age 40, the ultimate mountaineers goal of summiting Mount Everest, earth's highest mountain above sea level which stands at 8,488m, and being the first and only person to do this with Cystic Fibrosis. We also delve into his inspirations, mindset and he throws some questions back at me - not to be missed.
    Nick has been someone I have looked up to for a very long time and actually one of the main inspirations when I was unwell to dig a little deeper and achieve some of the biggest goals I set myself in adventure and mountaineering.  For me this interview not only left me inspired to push for bigger challenges, the feeling of what more could I do but also utter admiration for someone who’s so humble yet achieved so much and helped so many from those with CF to their parents and friends.
