Lauren Cooper is an ordinary woman who does extraordinary things!

Can you imagine running a full marathon across terrain hot enough to literally melt the glue that’s holding your sneakers together?

Well multiply that by 7 and you have the Marathon des Sables: a 6-day, self-supporting race across the Sahara in 40-50 degree heat, carrying your own food, cooking equipment, water, and bedding and literally running the distance of 7 full marathons in 6 days.

Harder still to imagine the decade of her life before that and going through an 8-year of life journey with her husband as they both dealt with his long and ultimately terminal illness and how that changed Lauren's attitude to how she would live life.

We’re all shaped by the lives we live and Lauren is no exception.

In this amazing conversation we cover the many phases of Lauren's remarkable, yet completely normal, life and how she has made new choices and decisions that have taken her to new and interesting places...

There are so many layers to Amanda Page. From choreographing tap steps in her kitchen during the day to clear her neural pathways, abseiling down into disused mines, discovering in her 20’s that the reason she processed information differently to others was because of dyslexia and that looking at spreadsheets of information is like reading the matrix for her because the information stands out to her in 3D and she can see the stories woven throughout that others cannot.

Amanda is a Change Expert whose purpose is to live in a world where everyone is fully equipped to deal with all aspects of change.

How we respond in the first instance to the big changes in life that we didn’t see coming isn’t always our best response.

That’s the thing about being human right? We just don’t recognise that we’re responding in unhelpful ways. Glenn Kirkwood had that kind of experience when his hugely successful business was taken from him. But it’s not what you do in the first instance, it’s whether you have the ability to recoginse what you’re doing and then take corrective action and take control of your circumstances rather than be a victim to them.

It’s hard to say what’s the most fascinating thing about Rachel Smith?

Is it that she has given, not 1 but 2 TED talks? Or perhaps that she didn’t buy anything new or second-hand for 12 months and save 38% of her salary whilst still doing everything she loved to do?

Maybe it’s what she did after she lost her business in the pandemic? Or that when you ask her where to buy her book, she will direct you to your nearest library?

But I think it’s her integrity, and that she chooses to live by her values, and even though this creates some very rough sailing for her at times, she stands by what is important to her and she always gets what she wants, in fact, it’s by leaning on her values in hard times that actually gets her through.

What would you do if you were 6 months before retirement when the world economy crashes and wipes out your investments and you lose everything?

That’s what happened to James Browne in the GFC.

How does that affect your health, your relationship, your family and you? How do you leverage the feelings you have; the anger, shock, grief and fear, into positive channels that benefit not you, but others?

This is the magic of James Browne. At arguably one of the worst times of his life, he turned his attention to helping others.

I had a very lively chat with Sally Estlin about overcoming some of the big obstacles of life such as burnout, how to pick yourself up again after divorce, health, and the importance of taking care of ourselves right now.

Where does the mental fortitude to constantly overcome obstacles come from? Is it something you’re born with or is it a skill, a muscle that you build over your life?

I truly believe that even if you're born with it, you still have to be living a great life that helps you to constantly hone that resilience and mental fortitude and we do that through the challenges we give ourselves.

And that's why Lindsey Legg has mental fortitude in spades! This woman is the very definition of unstoppable!

Lindsey is the essence of femininity with so much creative talent and a mind that’s constantly creating, that I can’t help but think she’s a female Leonardo Da Vinci! She’s also a champion athlete in multiple sports including kick boxing, she runs 3 businesses, has 3 young children, used to sit for hours as a child and draw the objects she could see around the house, and taught herself to draw portraits and see’s design in everything she looks at.

Her mental...

What do you do when you realise that the goals you’ve been striving for all your life aren’t actually going to happen?

This is a major obstacle that many people face at some point in their life and it can rock their world as they try to not only come to terms with that realisation but get themselves back on track with a new vision for their life.

Kylie Madge had to do just that. Find out how she overcame that big obstacle and her 3 tips if you find yourself in that same situation.

What would you do if you had an accident on a remote island where you didn't speak the language, broke your foot in 3 places, you're traveling alone and there is no one there to help you?

For how many people that incident would put them off traveling alone ever again, but not for Kelly Vains. Kelly leveraged that trauma and the 6 months it took to recover into one of her greatest life passions of wilderness trekking.

Find out how Kelly overcame the obstacles to her recovery and how she uses those same strategies to overcome the real dangers and obstacles that come when you're in the wilderness alone.
