This episode was sparked while writing the acknowledgements for my book and realising just how many different people have shaped my life, my courage, and who I’ve become.

Through a series of simple but powerful “who” questions, I invite you to reflect on the people in your life and the roles they play.

This isn’t about judging relationships or finding the “right” answers.

It’s about awareness and recognising that we’re not meant to get everything we need from one person.

Different people support us in different ways, at different stages of life.

And that’s a beautiful thing.At its heart, this episode is a reminder of how much the right people add to our lives and how lucky we are to have them.

Key takeaways:

o What a simple “who” question can reveal about your inner circle

o Why it’s unrealistic to expect one person to meet all your relationship needs

o What it means when your answers shift over time and why it’s okay

o How to recognise the different roles people play in your life

o A powerful reflection on where you might show up in other people’s lives

In this deeply moving episode, Amanda Thompson, financial adviser, single mum, Ironman athlete, and survivor, reveals how pivotal moments broke her down, challenged her endurance, and ultimately rebuilt her.

From big bank boardrooms to gruelling Ironman finish lines, from the quiet guilt of single motherhood to the hidden scars of domestic violence, Amanda shares the truth behind resilience that is real, raw, and earned.

Her story moves between triumph and trauma, discipline and depletion, purpose and pain—and shows how endurance isn’t limited to sport, but a way of living, healing, and choosing yourself again and again.

You’ll hear how a spontaneous high school elective rerouted her life, why she quit a “safe” job, the surprising way sport helped her rebuild her identity, and the moment she decided to reclaim her story after the kind of rock bottom most never speak aloud.

This episode is equal parts courage, heartbreak, and hope. It’s impossible to leave unchanged.

Amada really is the Slay Queen of Endurance.

Tune in to hear why.

Key takeaways:

o What endurance looks like when life brings you to your knees.

o How Ironman training built the resilience needed for life’s curve balls.

o The link between high-performance sport and running a values-led business.

o What can be more satisfying than winning when everything’s on the line?

o How hidden scars shape our behaviour long after the bruises fade.

o What it takes to rebuild yourself after trauma steals what once felt unbreakable.

o Why legacy isn’t something you leave for later, it’s something you live now.

o How courage shifts from “push through” to “falling forward.”

o The defining moment she reclaimed her story - and everything that followed.

In this warm and heartfelt conversation, we meet business owner and orange-obsessed powerhouse Kerri-Ann Hooper, founder of Carnelian Projects - a woman who has carried courage with her through joy, loss, rebuilding, and reinvention.

From getting braces at 51 and continuing to show up online despite the self-consciousness, to returning to the stage to dance after decades away, to leaving toxic workplaces, launching her own business, navigating miscarriages, watching her family lose everything in the GFC, surviving a contractor collapse, enduring public backlash and more - Kerri-Ann’s story is one of grit wrapped in heart, and hard-earned wisdom.

You’ll hear how her childhood passions quietly shaped her destiny, how she moved through the heartbreak of watching her parents’ world fall apart, and how she keeps building through the setbacks, detours, and unexpected turns.

This episode is a celebration of courage in all its colours and a reminder that courage doesn’t fade with age; it only gets stronger.

Key takeaways:

o Why courage sometimes looks like survival.

o The surprising places courage hides when you think you’ve outgrown it.

o How one simple decision can change your confidence at any age.

o What building (and rebuilding) through crisis teaches you.

o The unexpected link between childhood passions and adult purpose.

o How to keep showing up when the universe tries to stop you.

o Why your fifties are not the time to hold back, but to keep going.
