Your Purpose Over Your Fear: Building a Visible Business with Fi Mims

In Part 2 of this deeply honest conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson continues her chat with Fleur Marks about the hidden cost of overachievement, the importance of rest, and learning to believe: you are enough.

Fleur shares how a life-changing health journey forced her to rethink success, self-worth and the constant pressure to keep doing more. Together, Jodi and Fleur explore:
Why we shouldn’t wait for burnout or crisis before slowing down
The powerful idea of becoming “self-full” instead of selfless
Fleur’s transformative tea ceremony practice at Cloud Hidden in Byron Bay
Learning to sit still, rest and reconnect with yourself
The mindset shift behind “I’ve done enough, I have enough, I am enough”
Letting go of perfectionism and overachievement
How self-care became essential - not optional
Redefining success through joy, presence, connection and wellbeing

This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that life is happening now - and that success should never come at the cost of yourself.

Success Without Losing Yourself: Fleur Marks on Rest, Presence & Self-Worth (Part 2)

What happens when the drive to succeed starts costing you your health?

In this powerful first part of Dr. Jodi Richardson’s conversation with Fleur Marks, Fleur shares the shocking reality behind years of overachievement, perfectionism and relentless pressure to perform.

After decades in high-pressure leadership roles, Fleur’s body eventually forced her to stop - leading to a diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease that had spread to her brain, followed later by cancer.

Together, Jodi and Fleur explore:

The anxiety that can quietly sit beneath high achievement
Why so many people feel unable to slow down
The physical warning signs of chronic stress and burnout
Perfectionism, people-pleasing and the fear of letting others down
Why high achievers are often afraid to rest — and what that costs them

This episode is for anyone who feels constantly “on,” overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in the cycle of proving their worth through productivity.

Part 2 will dive deeper into healing, identity, rest, self-worth and redefining success.

The Overachiever’s Wake-Up Call with Fleur Marks (Part 1)

We spend a lot of time on this podcast exploring what's happening on the inside - our thoughts, our nervous system, our stress and worry. But what about the world around us? Today, Dr Jodi Richardson is joined by registered landscape architect and founder of Otara, Debbie Laporte, to explore how the spaces we inhabit - especially outdoor spaces - have a profound impact on our mental health and wellbeing.
With over twenty years of experience designing school grounds, nature play areas and community environments across Australia and Europe, Debbie brings a fascinating perspective on why so many of us are struggling...and why the answer might be closer than we think.
In this conversation, Jodi and Debbie discuss:

Why humans are spending more time indoors than ever before, and what that's costing us mentally and emotionally
The concept of nature deficit disorder and the growing movement of doctors prescribing time in nature
What nature play actually is (and why it's not just for kids!)
The powerful role of choice and risk in play, and what that means for raising resilient children
Simple, low-cost ways to improve your outdoor spaces so you actually want to use them
Why even five minutes outside can completely reset your mood and productivity

Whether you have a big backyard or just a front doorstep, this episode will leave you looking at the spaces around you in a whole new way - and feeling inspired to get outside.
