The Hattie Boydle Podcast

Olivia May is a professional beach and track sprinter from the Gold Coast with a community of over 2.3 million people across TikTok and Instagram. In this episode she opens up about the mindset behind the training: why she has run the same program for four to five years, why her hardest winter session is three reps and a walk to the car, and why rest is the part of performance almost everyone skips.

We get into the illusion of pressure and the moment a friend told her nobody actually cares how she performs, the plateau she went through and why sharing it grew her audience more than winning ever did, unlearning the belief that smaller is faster, and what she wishes young girls heard about fuelling instead of restricting. She also shares the daily non negotiables that changed her relationship with herself: morning sunlight, stretching, and gratitude journaling every single day since January.

If you have ever felt guilty for resting, compared your chapter one to someone else’s chapter twenty, or wondered what separates an athlete from someone who just trains hard, this one is for you.

Hattie recently got home from holidays feeling fragile like she was letting herself down and letting everyone around her down too.

In this Q&A episode, she walks you through exactly what she did to reset: the journal practice, the identity check-in, the environment audit, and the small standards that rebuild momentum fast (starting with the snooze button).

She also answers the community's biggest body-image questions, sharing why she traded chasing "skinny" for chasing strong, and how she strategically taught her body to handle 3,000 calories a day. If you've been feeling stuck, this is your reset button.

In this solo episode, Hattie continues her self-mastery series with a powerful conversation on identity and the gap between who you're showing up as right now and the woman you keep imagining you could be.

She walks you through a practice for getting brutally honest about where you are, what you're negotiating with, and what it actually takes to step into the next version of you.

She also unpacks the uncomfortable truth that self-development sometimes means outgrowing people, the difference between flexibility as a tool and flexibility as an excuse, and why so many high achievers have become "slaves to worthiness" without realising it.
Grounded, practical, and the kind of episode that earns a second listen.

17 years ago, Hattie looked in the mirror and made a decision that changed the course of her life.

In this raw solo episode, she opens up about the years she spent training, running, and tracking food as punishment and how she slowly learned to do it all out of love instead.

She explores intimacy as "into me, I see," why you can't connect deeply with others until you've connected with yourself, why she finds bodybuilding spiritual, and the powerful story of the sister who taught her what self-love actually looks like.

If you've ever struggled to say something kind to your own reflection, this episode is for you.

Sharelle Grant (Women's Health Movement, Level Up Podcast, ex-WBFF Pro) sits down with Hattie for one of the most honest conversations we've had on the show.

We get into the emotional weight nobody warns you about when you're scaling a coaching business, why "fixing one problem unlocks two more," and how Sharelle relationship with herself shifted from chaos in her 20s to steady in her 30s.

We also dig into the conversation almost no one has out loud, the timing of motherhood, freezing eggs, and why women shouldn't have to wait until their 30s to even start thinking about it.

Plus: training intentionally vs ticking boxes, body image self-talk, and what actually separates good from great. If you've ever felt like you're carrying more than you can name , this one's for you.
