Bonus Episode | LIVE Audience Q&A with Carly Taylor

What if being an athlete has nothing to do with elite competition?

In this inspiring conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with coach, athlete, photographer, community builder and founder of Hybrid Edge, Lucy Piper, to explore the powerful connection between movement, identity, courage and anxiety. 

Lucy shares her vision for The Embodied Athlete, a coaching framework designed to help people understand the patterns, beliefs and identities that shape how they show up in sport and in life. Together, Jodi and Lucy discuss authenticity, self-trust, social anxiety, community, and why so many people struggle to claim the title of "athlete" even when they train consistently. 

They also explore:
Why sport can be a fast track to courage and personal growth 
The link between identity and anxiety 
How our internal stories shape our lives 
Lucy's athlete archetypes and diagnostic tool
The difference between performing and authentically showing up for yourself 
Building community through movement and connection 
The three levers you can pull to create change: state, story and strategy 

If you've ever doubted yourself, struggled to back yourself, or felt like you're waiting for permission to become the person you want to be, this episode is for you.

"The 3 Things Humans Can Control": Lucy Piper on Identity, Courage & Growth

High performers often look calm and capable on the outside, while underneath their thoughts are racing and their body is carrying the strain. In this episode, host Dr Jodi Richardson welcomes back psychologist Harriet Iles, founder of Restorative Space Psychology, to explore what's really happening for overthinkers, high achievers and busy professionals, parents and athletes operating at a fast pace.
Harriet explains how high performance often comes with demands from others and from ourselves, and how stress and anxiety build when those demands feel greater than the resources we have to meet them. She also challenges a common belief among high achievers: that the inner critic drives their success.

This episode dives into:

The difference between stress and anxiety, and why a little stress can actually help us perform
Recognising whether the expectations we place on ourselves are driven by our values or by fear
Why being our own cheerleader supports success more than self-criticism does
How connecting to meaning, not fear of failure, helps protect us from burnout
Practical ways to ease the load, from reprioritising and setting boundaries to automating everyday decisions. 


Harriet shares grounded strategies for anyone performing under pressure, along with a reassuring reminder that sometimes we are simply doing too much, and reprioritising is the perfect place to begin.

High Performance, Stress and Anxiety: Caring for Yourself When You're Stretched Thin with Harriet Iles

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of knowledge, time or opportunity, but fear?

In this inspiring and deeply honest conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson welcomes long-time friend, coach, speaker, podcaster and newly completed PhD candidate Craig Harper for a discussion about grief, resilience, behaviour change and human potential. Together, they explore why so many of us struggle to make the changes we know would benefit us, and what it really takes to create meaningful, lasting transformation.

Craig shares insights from decades of coaching experience, reflects on the recent loss of his father, and offers a powerful reminder that while life is often uncertain, our capacity to grow, adapt and change is far greater than we realise.

In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why fear of failure, fear of discomfort and even fear of success can keep us stuck where we are.
• The reason knowledge alone isn't enough to create change, and why action is the missing piece.
• How lasting habits are built through consistency rather than motivation.
• Why identity plays such an important role in personal transformation.
• Practical ways to improve your health, wellbeing and mindset without trying to overhaul your entire life overnight.
• The importance of self-compassion when you slip up or fall short of your goals.
• How to stop waiting for the "right time" and start creating momentum today.
• Why most people dramatically underestimate their own potential.
