In this episode, we sit down with Olympian Desi Johnson to unpack the full reality behind her journey. From representing Australia in netball to sprinting, battling serious injuries, and ultimately stepping into the world of bobsled. What looks like an unconventional path to the Olympics is actually years of discipline, setbacks, and relentless resilience. We dive into what those transition years really looked like, what led her into bobsled, and the behind-the-scenes grind of training for one of the most intense and high-risk sports in the world.

We also go deeper into the truths no one talks about the financial pressure, loneliness, mental toughness, and uncertainty that comes with chasing something as big as the Olympics. From controlling fear at the start line to navigating identity, setbacks, and the possibility of giving everything without a guaranteed outcome, this episode is a powerful reminder of what it truly takes to chase greatness.

#179 SkinnyTok is back… but at what cost? In this episode, we unpack the rise of “skinny” culture again from under-fuelling disguised as wellness to the growing conversation around Ozempic, peptides and rapid weight loss. We break down how these trends are being marketed as “health” and “discipline,” when in reality, a lot of it is restriction in disguise. Because the truth is, the line between being healthy and becoming obsessive can get blurry fast.

We also dive into what you don’t see.. the low energy, hormonal issues, mental load and loss of strength that often comes with chasing a smaller body. This is your reminder that your body is not a trend. We’re shifting the focus back to strength, energy and longevity — because strong is sexy, and food is fuel, not something you earn. If you’ve been feeling pulled into the pressure to shrink yourself, this episode is your reality check.

In this episode, we sit down with elite athlete Bree Rizzo to unpack the reality of what it truly takes to compete at the highest level and it’s not what you think. From the discipline behind the scenes to the sacrifices no one talks about, we dive into the gap between perception and reality in elite sport.
We talk about showing up on the days you don’t feel like it, the pressure of performance, and how much of success really comes down to consistency over talent. Bree also opens up about identity, comparison, and navigating self-doubt at the highest level.
And just when people assume this chapter is over… we talk about what’s next, including her vision of aiming to go from pregnancy to the Olympics.
If you’ve ever said you “want it” this episode will show you what that actually means.
