In this episode, we sit down with Chiara Plinke, a breathwork facilitator whose journey started like many backpacker stories do. Drinking most days, partying most nights, and constantly staying busy to avoid sitting with herself.

What looked fun on the surface was actually avoidance. Anxiety, emotional numbness, and a sense of being stuck quietly crept in.

Chiara shares how discovering breathwork forced her to slow down, feel again, and finally face the emotions she had been running from. We talk about the discomfort that comes with presence, the clarity that follows, and why breath is one of the most powerful tools for regulating the nervous system and reclaiming control of your life.

To top it off, Chiara guides us through a short breathwork teaser in the episode so you can feel the shift for yourself.

If you have ever used distraction, partying, work, or fitness to avoid what is really going on inside, this one will hit home.

In this episode, we sit down with Dylan Lindsay, personal trainer and soon to be studio owner, as he opens up about his journey into fitness and what “training properly” actually means.

We talk through Dylan’s philosophy on exercise, the mistakes he sees people make in the gym, and how consistency and intent beat chasing trends. He shares what life really looks like as a PT, balancing coaching, training, and building something of your own.

We also get into the realities of opening a fitness studio with your partner, the dynamics it brings, the challenges you don’t see on Instagram, and why alignment matters just as much in business as it does in training.

If you’re interested in sustainable fitness, honest coaching, or what it takes to turn a passion into a business, this one’s for you.

What does it actually take to keep moving when every sensible part of your brain is screaming at you to stop?

In this episode, we sit down with Sean Salmon, Lululemon ambassador and ultrarunner, fresh off one of the most mind-bending endurance efforts you’ll hear about.

Sean started a backyard ultra at 12pm on Saturday. He finished at 2am on Monday morning. In between, he covered 255km, running the same loop again and again, surviving on 8 minutes of sleep across two days.

We unpack what happens when fatigue goes beyond tired and into something else entirely. How the body keeps moving when logic disappears. The mental tricks that keep you in the race. The toll this kind of challenge takes on everyday life, relationships, work, and identity. And why someone would willingly put themselves through something so extreme in the first place.

This is a conversation about endurance, obsession, discipline, and where the real limits actually are. Not just in running, but in life.

If you’ve ever wondered how far the human mind can push the body, this one’s for you.
