The reason for the title of this episode unfolds during our chat but rest assured, it’s not a conversation about bums. Or bum issues. Thankfully. So, the Olympic Gold Medallist, PhD. Researcher, Academic, Author, part-time Urban Ninja, Mum of two, Wife of one and Corporate Speaker, is back. This time Lauren and I chat about the way she approaches everything from parenting, study, lifestyle and business, to training (at 48), competition, finding balance, intuition, obsession, knowing who to trust and broadly speaking, all-things self-management. Enjoy.

On this episode of The You Project, we explore one of the most misunderstood human emotions: fear. In a culture obsessed with "fearlessness," we often treat fear like a flaw, weakness or personal failure. But what if fear isn't the enemy at all? What if it's actually an important and protective part of the intelligence of being human?

This time around, Tiff has a humble brag about her double bodyweight deadlift, Bobby unpacks the firsthand experience of living with Tourette's, we talk about the aversion some women still have to strength training and why, we discuss where we each sit on the introvert-extrovert scale, I talk about my one-off panic attack, the challenge of training with an ageing body gets a mention and the idea of keeping our brain in shape - if not, improving - over fifty, and lots more.

Many cults don't look like cults, and many cult members would never consider themselves to be members. Most people think cults happen somewhere else... to other people. But cult-like dynamics can emerge almost anywhere humans gather around identity, certainty, emotion and power. In this episode, I explore the psychology of cults, coercive control groups and modern tribalism - from religion and politics to wellness culture, online communities and self-help movements. Why do intelligent people get pulled into unhealthy systems? How does manipulation happen gradually? And why are humans so vulnerable to certainty, belonging and charismatic leadership?
