#181 This episode is your reality check. No fresh starts. No “Monday resets.” Just the truth about what to do when you’re already in it… and feel like giving up. We’re talking about showing up when it’s hard, letting go of perfection, and learning that real progress comes from the messy, average days not the perfect ones. You don’t need to do more… you need to quit less.

Jaz Slone is a Kona-qualified Ironman athlete and former competitive bodybuilder — and in this episode she holds nothing back. We cover the brutal reality of Ironman training, navigating a stress fracture, the mental side of 11+ hours on course, and what it actually felt like to cross the finish line at one of the hardest races in the world. If you've ever wanted to push yourself further than you thought possible, this one's for you.

#180 in this episode, we open up an honest and unfiltered conversation around pregnancy, going beyond the highlight reel and into the reality of what this season actually feels like. From physical changes and training to body image, weight gain, and shifts in routine, we answer your questions and share how it has impacted us both physically and mentally.

We also dive into the emotional side, including mental health, relationship dynamics, and fears around birth and the unknown. Alongside the challenges, we reflect on the moments that have made it all so special, from feeling baby move to stepping into the idea of motherhood. This is a raw look into pregnancy, the parts you see and the parts you don’t.

In this episode, we sit down with Olympian Desi Johnson to unpack the full reality behind her journey. From representing Australia in netball to sprinting, battling serious injuries, and ultimately stepping into the world of bobsled. What looks like an unconventional path to the Olympics is actually years of discipline, setbacks, and relentless resilience. We dive into what those transition years really looked like, what led her into bobsled, and the behind-the-scenes grind of training for one of the most intense and high-risk sports in the world.

We also go deeper into the truths no one talks about the financial pressure, loneliness, mental toughness, and uncertainty that comes with chasing something as big as the Olympics. From controlling fear at the start line to navigating identity, setbacks, and the possibility of giving everything without a guaranteed outcome, this episode is a powerful reminder of what it truly takes to chase greatness.

#179 SkinnyTok is back… but at what cost? In this episode, we unpack the rise of “skinny” culture again from under-fuelling disguised as wellness to the growing conversation around Ozempic, peptides and rapid weight loss. We break down how these trends are being marketed as “health” and “discipline,” when in reality, a lot of it is restriction in disguise. Because the truth is, the line between being healthy and becoming obsessive can get blurry fast.

We also dive into what you don’t see.. the low energy, hormonal issues, mental load and loss of strength that often comes with chasing a smaller body. This is your reminder that your body is not a trend. We’re shifting the focus back to strength, energy and longevity — because strong is sexy, and food is fuel, not something you earn. If you’ve been feeling pulled into the pressure to shrink yourself, this episode is your reality check.
