    Scotty James: How to Stop Letting Self-Doubt Run Your Life

    13/2/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    Have you ever wanted to quit something you once loved?

    This week, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Scotty James, three-time Olympic medallist and one of the most dominant snowboarders in the world. But this isn’t just a story about medals.
    It’s about what it really takes to stay at the top.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    • The psychological pressure of competing on the world stage
    • The moment Scotty nearly walked away from snowboarding
    • What elite performance actually feels like behind the scenes
    • The discipline required to stay world-class for over a decade
    • His close friendship with Daniel Ricciardo and what high performers recognise in each other
    • The role his family has played in shaping his mindset
    • Why humility is harder than ambition

    This episode goes beyond sport. It’s about resilience. Identity. Reinvention. And the uncomfortable reality of chasing greatness when everyone is watching.
    If you’ve ever questioned whether to keep going, this conversation is for you.

    Sarah Thoughts: The Truth About Gossip No One Wants to Admit

    12/2/2026 | 5 mins.
    Have you ever noticed how gossip can feel like connection in the moment, but leave something uncomfortable behind afterward?

    In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the psychology of gossip and why it can feel so tempting, even when it doesn’t align with who we want to be. She unpacks how gossip creates a false sense of belonging, offering a quick emotional high while quietly eroding trust and integrity.
    Sarah introduces the concept of triangulation and explains how bringing a third person into unresolved tension spreads anxiety rather than relieving it. She reflects on how gossip often reveals more about our own insecurities than the person being discussed, and why judgment can feel like control when we are searching for safety.

    You’ll learn:
    Why gossip creates connection through exclusion and why that never truly feels good.
    How triangulation damages relationships in families, friendships and workplaces.
    Simple shifts that replace judgment with curiosity and build real trust.

    This episode is an invitation to pause before we speak, to choose compassion over whispers, and to become someone others feel safe around. Because integrity is quiet, powerful, and deeply felt. And when we protect the person who isn’t in the room, we protect the kind of relationships we want to have.

    David Asprey: How to Biohack Your Biology for a Longer, Better Life

    09/2/2026 | 59 mins.
    What if the limits you believe about your body, mind, and potential were never really yours to begin with?

    In this episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Dave Asprey, a pioneering voice in biohacking, longevity, and human performance. Recorded live at Wanderlust Australia, this conversation explores Dave’s personal journey through chronic illness, trauma, and living in a constant state of fight or flight, and how those experiences shaped his mission to help people take control of their biology and live with more clarity, energy, and purpose.

    Dave opens up about growing up with autism spectrum traits, being bullied, struggling with inflammation and brain fog, and the moment he realised that willpower alone was never going to be the answer.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How to recognise when so-called “healthy” foods are actually fuelling inflammation and what to do instead
    • Why understanding your nervous system can unlock more energy, focus, and emotional balance
    • How hidden factors like mould exposure can quietly sabotage your health without you realising
    • What biohacking really looks like in daily life and how small changes can create big, lasting shifts
    • Why willpower fails when the body is overwhelmed and how to work with your biology instead

    This episode is a powerful reminder that living longer means nothing if we are not living better, and that your capacity to change is far greater than you have been taught to believe.

    Sarah's Thoughts: Comparison Is Killing Your Confidence

    05/2/2026 | 4 mins.
    Have you ever noticed how one quick scroll can turn a perfectly good day into quiet self-doubt?

    In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the emotional pull of comparison and why social media can so quickly make us question our progress, our worth, and our timing. She unpacks how comparison isn’t a logical process, it’s an emotional one, and why knowing something isn’t real doesn’t stop it from affecting us.

    You’ll learn:
    Why comparing your reality to someone else’s highlight reel creates unnecessary self-doubt
    How comparison triggers the belief that you’re behind, even when you’re growing
    A powerful reframe that helps you measure progress without self-judgment

    This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t loud, linear, or easily measured. It lives in the way you recover faster, speak more kindly to yourself, and keep showing up even when things feel uncertain. Because the real competition was never between you and them. It’s always been between who you were and who you’re becoming.

    Bessel van der Kolk: Why the Body Keeps the Score and How Trauma Lives On

    02/2/2026 | 42 mins.
    Have you ever wondered why certain experiences stay with you long after the moment has passed, even when you try to move on?

    In this episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Bessel van der Kolk, world-renowned psychiatrist, trauma researcher, and author of the groundbreaking book The Body Keeps the Score. A leading voice in understanding how trauma shapes the brain, body, and behaviour, Bessel shares decades of clinical insight into why trauma keeps people stuck and what it actually takes to heal.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    How trauma is defined and why it keeps people frozen in the past
    Why childhood trauma is far more common than most people realise
    What repair really means in parenting and why predictability matters
    How therapies like EMDR and neurofeedback help rewire the brain
    The role of the body, movement, and community in long-term healing
    Why medication can help some people, but rarely creates true change on its own

    This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, that the body can learn safety again, and that with the right support, people can return to who they truly are.
