    #71. Looking back, moving forward with Wendy Welpton
    Dec 16 2025
    As we come to the end of the year, this solo episode is a moment to both reflect and look forward.I’m sharing my perspective on why celebrating small wins matters just as much as big milestones, how our relationship with movement and trust in our bodies shapes how we experience life, and why self-kindness and realistic intentions create more sustainable change than pressure-filled resolutions.
    It’s a reflective conversation about tuning in, appreciating what the human body can do, and moving into the new year with curiosity, compassion, and hope.
    Whether the festive season feels joyful, complicated, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to keep moving in ways that support you; physically, mentally, and emotionally.Work with me in 2026If the way I coach and integrate movement resonates with you, there are a few ways you can work with me in 2026 to bring more everyday movement into your life.

  • #70. The Well-Lived Life with Dr Gladys McGarey - re-release from July 2024

    #70. The Well-Lived Life with Dr Gladys McGarey - re-release from July 2024
    Dec 9 2025
    A very special re-release as we near the end of 2025.
    This conversation with Dr Gladys McGarey was one of the greatest privileges of my podcasting life. We recorded it in July 2024, just a couple of months before she passed away, and I had no idea at the time that it would be one of her final interviews.
    Listening back now, her wisdom lands even more deeply.
    We talked about what it really means to feel “stuck” in life and how to find the true source of that stuckness. We explored her beautiful Five L’s; life, love, laughter, labour and listening, and the way she saw movement not just as a physical act, but as a way of staying connected to purpose.She spoke about choosing to move toward light rather than fear, about ageing into health, about the joy that comes from simply being alive… and the gentle power of listening and caring for one another as humans.
    As we head into 2026, it felt like the perfect moment to bring this episode back. It’s grounding, perspective-shifting, and it’s a reminder that we always have a choice in how we move through the world, both literally and emotionally.
    I hope her words encourage you to take stock of where you are, reconnect with what matters, and step into the new year with a little more hope, joy, and curiosity.
    This one is truly special. 💜

  • #69. Redefining the athlete: self-belief, comparison & the power of moving forward with Cara Cunniff

    #69. Redefining the athlete: self-belief, comparison & the power of moving forward with Cara Cunniff
    Dec 2 2025
    For years, Cara Cunniff ran ultra-marathons, Ironman races, and even six days across the Sahara desert, and still couldn't see herself as an athlete.
    In this honest conversation, we explore:• why so many of us feel “not good enough” even when we’re doing extraordinary things• the pressure of comparison, to others and our past selves• how identity shifts when injury, ageing or life changes• why movement means far more than performance• what self-belief actually looks like in real life
    This episode is for anyone who moves, trains, walks, or simply tries, but still struggles to see themselves as capable.
    It’s a reminder that you don’t need a medal to be a ‘mover’, you just need to appreciate yourself for keeping moving forward.
    Listen now, and share with someone who needs encouragement today.
