Jaz Slone is a Kona-qualified Ironman athlete and former competitive bodybuilder — and in this episode she holds nothing back. We cover the brutal reality of Ironman training, navigating a stress fracture, the mental side of 11+ hours on course, and what it actually felt like to cross the finish line at one of the hardest races in the world. If you've ever wanted to push yourself further than you thought possible, this one's for you.

#180 in this episode, we open up an honest and unfiltered conversation around pregnancy, going beyond the highlight reel and into the reality of what this season actually feels like. From physical changes and training to body image, weight gain, and shifts in routine, we answer your questions and share how it has impacted us both physically and mentally.

We also dive into the emotional side, including mental health, relationship dynamics, and fears around birth and the unknown. Alongside the challenges, we reflect on the moments that have made it all so special, from feeling baby move to stepping into the idea of motherhood. This is a raw look into pregnancy, the parts you see and the parts you don’t.

In this episode, we sit down with Olympian Desi Johnson to unpack the full reality behind her journey. From representing Australia in netball to sprinting, battling serious injuries, and ultimately stepping into the world of bobsled. What looks like an unconventional path to the Olympics is actually years of discipline, setbacks, and relentless resilience. We dive into what those transition years really looked like, what led her into bobsled, and the behind-the-scenes grind of training for one of the most intense and high-risk sports in the world.

We also go deeper into the truths no one talks about the financial pressure, loneliness, mental toughness, and uncertainty that comes with chasing something as big as the Olympics. From controlling fear at the start line to navigating identity, setbacks, and the possibility of giving everything without a guaranteed outcome, this episode is a powerful reminder of what it truly takes to chase greatness.

#179 SkinnyTok is back… but at what cost? In this episode, we unpack the rise of “skinny” culture again from under-fuelling disguised as wellness to the growing conversation around Ozempic, peptides and rapid weight loss. We break down how these trends are being marketed as “health” and “discipline,” when in reality, a lot of it is restriction in disguise. Because the truth is, the line between being healthy and becoming obsessive can get blurry fast.

We also dive into what you don’t see.. the low energy, hormonal issues, mental load and loss of strength that often comes with chasing a smaller body. This is your reminder that your body is not a trend. We’re shifting the focus back to strength, energy and longevity — because strong is sexy, and food is fuel, not something you earn. If you’ve been feeling pulled into the pressure to shrink yourself, this episode is your reality check.

In this episode, we sit down with elite athlete Bree Rizzo to unpack the reality of what it truly takes to compete at the highest level and it’s not what you think. From the discipline behind the scenes to the sacrifices no one talks about, we dive into the gap between perception and reality in elite sport.

We talk about showing up on the days you don’t feel like it, the pressure of performance, and how much of success really comes down to consistency over talent. Bree also opens up about identity, comparison, and navigating self-doubt at the highest level.

And just when people assume this chapter is over… we talk about what’s next, including her vision of aiming to go from pregnancy to the Olympics.

If you’ve ever said you “want it” this episode will show you what that actually means.

#177 In this episode, we’re calling it out the “lazy girl” mindset that’s quietly holding you back. We unpack the difference between protecting your energy and settling for comfort, and why so many people stay stuck without even realising it. Because laziness doesn’t always look like doing nothing, it looks like procrastinating, delaying and choosing the easy option.

We talk about how this comfort loop shrinks your life, and why momentum is everything when it comes to change. If you’ve been saying you want more but not doing anything different… this is your wake-up call.

#176 In today’s episode, we sit down with Zara, who quite literally changed her life with one “silly little” email to Steven Bartlett — and landed her dream role as his content manager.

We dive into the bold decisions, risks and mindset shifts that got her there, from moving her entire life to London to backing herself before she felt fully ready. This conversation is all about taking chances, creating your own opportunities, and what it really takes to get your foot in the door.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go after something bigger ... this is it.
