Episode Synopsis


You’ve heard the line: “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way.” Sounds motivational. In reality, it’s one of the quickest ways to stay stuck.In this episode I break down why you must look back if you actually want to move forward. Not to beat yourself up. Not to stroke your ego. But to see the evidence.We get into:The two traps: living on a pedestal vs living in the pitHow shiny-object advice pulls you away from your own valuesWhy you keep outsourcing your decisions to coaches, podcasts, friends and “experts”How to review your last year of business, training or life without lying to yourselfThe Hyrox example: how I blew my first race, owned it, and then took 13 minutes off my timeThe simple “pick 2 problems and actually fix them” exercise for the next 8–10 weeksIf you feel like you’re spinning in circles, chasing other people’s goals, or stuck in mum-guilt / burnout mode, this one is for you.You’ll walk away with a clearer idea of:What got you hereWhat’s genuinely in your wayAnd what two actions you need to commit to nextNo fluff. Just you, your evidence, and a plan.
