In this episode of The Mind Game, I’m joined by Dean Hall — all the way from Oregon, USA — author of The Wild Cure and a man whose story will inspire you to rethink what’s possible. After being diagnosed with two forms of cancer and told there was no cure, Dean turned to open-water swimming and nature as a way to heal, both physically and mentally. His journey took him from hospital beds to record-breaking swims in some of the world’s wildest waters. We talk about resilience, finding purpose when life feels impossible, and how the mind can guide the body to achieve extraordinary things.

In this episode of The Mind Game, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Tom Randall — one of the world’s leading crack climbers and co-founder of Lattice Training.

Tom’s known for pushing himself to the edge physically and mentally, whether that’s hanging upside down on a horizontal roof crack or dreaming up wild endurance challenges that most of us wouldn’t dare attempt. But what struck me most in our conversation was his honesty about fear, failure, and how mindset plays a central role in every climb he takes on.

We spoke about:

• How a finger injury led him down the unlikely path of crack climbing
• What it really means to train for pain tolerance and not just strength
• How he reframes discomfort, fear, and failure
• The mental side of elite climbing — and how Lattice Training is changing the way athletes train for psychological performance
• Why enjoying the process matters more than any result

Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or just someone who’s fascinated by the mental side of performance, I think you’ll love this episode. It’s a raw, inspiring look into what it takes to operate at the edge — and to keep coming back for more.

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, I sit down with Abigail Douglas, a holistic life coach and founder of The Wellbeing Garden, to explore her powerful journey from burnout and chronic eczema to self-healing and a life of purpose.

Abigail shares how a life-changing yoga retreat in Italy opened her eyes to the importance of tuning inwards, and how simple but consistent tools like journaling, meditation, and "pockets of wellbeing" transformed her health, career, and mindset.

We talk about learning to listen to your inner wisdom, navigating career changes, the reality of self-care as a mum, and how small, intentional steps can nurture even the biggest dreams.

If this conversation resonates and you’re ready to feel more like yourself again—calmer, clearer, and more confident—I offer 1:1 hypnotherapy sessions to help you get unstuck and reconnect with the version of you that’s been waiting underneath the stress.
