Everyone's Performing Fine. Nobody's Performing Fine. Christina Pengilly

We're all exhausted by the highlight reel.

In this episode I sit down with Christina Pengilly host of Talk Therapy.. for one of the most honest conversations I've had on this podcast.

We didn't follow a plan. We just talked. And what came out of it was exactly what this space needs more of.

Christina is someone who has lived multiple lives elite basketball player, psychology graduate, small business owner, coach, creator and she's built something real out of every single one of them. But behind the polished online presence is a woman navigating the same fears, doubts, and dysregulation that most of us are too scared to admit out loud.

This one goes deep.

In this episode we cover:

The queen of the pivot ..why Christina has never been willing to stay in something just to prove a point and what that's actually cost her

The basketball identity ... two ACL reconstructions, losing everything she thought she was at 15, and the years it took to find herself again

The psychology degree she stood on stage with and immediately knew she'd never use the traditional way

Why she built Talk Therapy right in the middle of her hardest season .. not after she figured it out

The online space and why the independent narrative is quietly wrecking relationships

Cruise what it actually looks like behind closed doors, how she shows up for him as a man, and why she refuses to speak about him any differently in rooms he's not in

Endometriosis, fertility fears, and trusting your body when everyone around you is moving into a chapter you're not sure you're ready for

The protector pattern and the moment I turned down a Brisbane Broncos contract because of one

Why 10k followers hit different even when you know your worth has nothing to do with a number

What you actually owe the people who created you

And the one takeaway she's taking into the rest of her life from today
