Inner Expeditions
Conversations about mindset, health and adventure. Delving a bit deeper with special guests to help us re-connect with ourselves and the outdoors. We'll also try and discover alternative methods to aid in our wellbeing. The show aligns with my own experiences after I started running to lose weight and resulted in me changing careers to simplify my life and overcome severe anxiety. Since then I've discovered that all round health is more than just physical fitness. I'll share with you stories and experiences with selected guests to inspire and motivate you to step outside your boundaries and try something new.

S2 E6 The Power Of Positive Thought With Kirsty Fleming
For this episode I am joined by Kirsty Fleming who competed for Australia at World Class level and was part of the Aus Olympic lightweight rowing squad from 2003-2008.
While cycling on the open road and training for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Kirsty would have a major life turn as she was struck by a car at high speed and suffered major injuries.
While in hospital Kirsty had some hard times as she started to think about what she may and may not ever be able to do again, including not just rowing but competing at the highest level. We discuss the importance of positive thinking in getting your life back on track after adjusting into a life outside of competition. During this time in her life Kirsty decided that it wasn't time to give up yet and worked tirelessly to get back to being able to not just row, but be good enough for Olympic Selection.
This is truely a great story on teaching us the importance of putting your mind towards a goal and not giving up, as well as being grateful for every opportunity what we can build for ourselves by working hard, thinking positively and enjoying every step along the way.
