Planting Seeds Podcast

For Taonga Thursday, I share a story that's stuck with me for years — Les Brown's "deathbed" story about the ghosts of unfulfilled potential — and unpack why it's not other people's judgment holding us back from being authentic, it's our own.

I've built plenty of positive habits this year — training, early mornings, meditation — but the real acceleration hasn't come from adding more. It's come from subtraction. Being alcohol-free again has shown me what happens when the good habits stay and the one thing pulling against them is gone: no resistance, no stop-start, just momentum in one direction.

Off the back of a half marathon PB that smashed my old time by 10 minutes, I break down why you don't need a big crowd — just a few people who believe in you, push you, and keep you accountable — and why the real work is proving your own worthiness through what you're willing to do.

I guide you through a gratitude practice honouring someone you love, then a visualisation where you become the director of your day.

I break down why how you start your morning shapes your whole day — my own routine, the 5K PB I hit this week, and why we don't have to go fast to go far. Plus a reminder not to undo a great week over the weekend.
