In this episode, I’m joined by Charlotte a coach at Platfrm and a dietetics student for a real and honest conversation about growth, change, and figuring things out as you go.

We dive into what it actually looks like to move through different phases of life and why it’s okay to shift direction when something no longer aligns with who you are. Charlotte shares her experience navigating major life changes from relationships to career moves and how learning to sit in discomfort can often be the catalyst for growth.

We unpack the idea of “friction” and why the things that feel hardest are often the ones that matter most. From training and fitness to life decisions, we talk about how pushing through resistance, building discipline, and creating structure can be the difference between staying stuck and making real progress.

We also explore the rise of group fitness, the power of community and accountability, and why having a clear plan in your training can completely change your results. Charlotte shares practical insights on consistency, how to show up when motivation isn’t there, and simple ways to reduce friction in your daily life.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out you just need to take the next step.

Jed shares how sport became a driving force in his life, the mindset that pushed him through setbacks, and the risks he took stepping away from a traditional career path to chase something bigger. We talk about the realities of endurance sport the injuries, the learning curve with training and nutrition, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up when progress doesn’t come easily.

But this conversation goes far beyond racing.

Jed also opens up about building his own recovery footwear brand, the lessons endurance sport has taught him about discipline and perspective, and the work he’s doing in remote Indigenous communities where sport is helping inspire healthier lifestyles and create new opportunities.

Running can look intimidating from the outside. Social media is filled with marathon finish lines, ultra races, and elite athletes chasing faster times. But the truth is simple: running and endurance sport are for everyone.

In this episode, we share seven powerful lessons from runners, athletes, and real experiences that reveal what endurance sport is truly about. From mindset and preparation, to connection, reflection, and overcoming adversity, these lessons highlight that running isn’t just about speed, distance, or race results, it’s about growth, purpose, and discovering what you’re capable of.

You’ll hear stories about:

• Learning not to get complacent and continuing to push your limits

• Preparing for the bigger picture, not just the next race

• Finding running through adversity and personal challenges

• Why comparison in running can hold you back

• The importance of connection, community, and shared experiences

• Using running as a powerful tool for reflection and emotional growth

• And the most important lesson of all: finding your personal reason to move

In this episode, I sit down with remedial massage therapist and co-owner of Form First Studio, Ben Lewis, to talk about the moments that shaped his life, career, and outlook on success.

We dive into the pivotal experience that shifted his perspective forever, how that led him into the fitness and allied health world, and what it’s really like building a gym and business from the ground up.

Ben shares honest insights on building the right team, why communication is everything in partnerships, and how confidence plays a bigger role in success than most people realise. We also talk about athlete recovery, the role massage actually plays in performance, and why being proactive not reactive can change your results long term.

Whether you’re an athlete, business owner, or someone figuring out their next step in life, this episode is full of practical advice and powerful perspective shifts.

In this episode we cover:

• The life event that changed Ben’s direction forever

• What it’s really like opening a gym from scratch

• Building a team and creating the right culture

• Confidence, mindset, and taking action before you feel ready

• The truth about recovery, massage, and injury prevention

• Why success is never “overnight”

If you’ve ever thought about starting something new, changing direction, or investing in your health and performance, this conversation is for you.
