Former Olympian and Black Sticks hockey star Brooke Hayde joins us to share her journey from elite sport to holistic wellness. Brooke gets vulnerable as she speaks about the highs and lows of high performance, the importance of mental health, and why she’s passionate about supporting young athletes through her own wellbeing business.

This episode is full of insight on identity beyond sport, finding purpose after the podium, and how wellbeing services played apart in supporting that.

We're lucky enough to have Brooke as part of the O-Studio team as she prepares to open O-Studio Hamilton later this year with her husband Cam!

How much pressure is too much? And how much is not enough?

In this episode we explore how childhood experiences shape long-term success and ask the big question: Should we push our kids more, or step back and let them find their own way.

We chat about the delicate balance of pressure vs. care - whether in parenting, sports, or life in general. We reflect on personal experiences, from teaching kids to ride bikes to navigating professional challenges, and discuss when pushing someone builds resilience versus when it becomes overwhelming.
