How do you keep showing up, and keep having fun, when you’ve stepped well outside your comfort zone? In this milestone 50th episode, Rebecca Walker and Diane Williams look back on the journey of creating Headflex, sharing their favourite moments, hard-won lessons and the impact the show has had on them, their coaching practices and their listeners.

Rebecca and Diane revisit standout conversations, from Andrew Blair’s fresh take on curiosity to Oscar Trimboli’s masterclass in deep listening. They open up about the early doubts (including nearly pulling the plug!), the commitment it takes to keep going, and the nerves that come with putting yourself out there for others to hear.

As experienced coaches, they reveal how making the podcast has sharpened their skills, kept their curiosity alive and pushed them to rethink their ideas (yes, even arguing with themselves on air). They’re honest about the awkwardness of those first few episodes, grateful for the support behind the scenes, and proud to be making coaching conversations accessible, helping listeners feel less alone and more empowered at work.

This episode is a celebration of growth, honest conversations and the power of asking better questions, for yourself, your team and your career.
