What does 18 years as a professional golfer teach you about mindset, performance and resilience?

In this episode, Tamie Durdin shares the lessons, discipline and perspective gained from nearly two decades in elite sport.

In this episode, we cover:

• The reality of life as a professional athlete

• Mindset and performance under pressure

• Lessons from 18 years in competitive sport

• The role of discipline, consistency, and resilience

• The perspective that only hindsight can bring

For 10 years, Andy Ho didn't pursue the dream he knew he had deep down. 

In this conversation, I sit down with Comedian Andy, also known as HoeyFarmer, to talk about the turning point that changed everything. 

As a teenager, Andy knew he wanted to be a comedian. But life took him in other directions, and that dream stayed on hold for almost a decade.

It wasn't until he stepped away from the noise of 'Sin City' and spent time working on his father's farm that something shifted. In the quiet, he began reconnecting with himself, and the creativity that would eventually birth the characters, skits and comedy career many people now recognise online. 

In this episode we talk about:
- The moment he realised he had to pursue comedy
- The mindset shift that changed his life
- How 'HoeyFarmer' was born
- The art and discipline behind comedy
- Finding your identity when life feels off track

The conversation even ends with a surprise guest appearance from one of Andy's characters. Making people laugh is his superpower after all :) 

Andy was performing a show called "Escaping Brisbane" with fellow comedian Sahib Rana at the Adelaide Fringe Festival when we recorded this episode. 

You can find Andy Ho Comedian on Instagram and HoeyFarmer on FB, Insta, Tik Tok and YouTube easily, go check him out for more laughs.

Award-winning Kenyan artist and cultural voice Willis Chimano joins me for a powerful conversation on identity, courage and radical self-expression.

As a founding member of Sauti Sol, Willis helped redefine contemporary African music on the global stage. Now stepping boldly into his solo era, he speaks openly about what it means to live authentically as a gay man in Africa, the cost of visibility, and the freedom that comes with truth.

We explore:
• The transition from Sauti Sol to solo artistry
• The weight and liberation of authenticity
• Masculinity, spirituality and softness
• His memoir Heavy Is The Crown
• What freedom truly means

This is a conversation about strength — not as performance, but as honesty.

If you're in Adelaide and want to see him live, his "intimates" shows can be found on the Fringe website for next Friday March 6-8th and his Author Talk is free at the West Torrens library on March 10th. 

With Love, 
Ria Mestiza

Follow Willis, you can find him on all the socials of your choice.

This conversation is raw, honest and deeply human.

My guest Sam Ghamrawi shares his journey from drug addiction, destructive environments and self-sabotage, to a near-death experience that became the turning point of his life — a moment that, under normal circumstances, could have cost his son everything.

We explore regret, responsibility, discipline, and faith, not from a place of perfection, but from lived experience. This is a conversation about asking the hard question: “Why did I do it?” — and having the courage to change the answer through action.

Today, he’s committed to being a leader for young boys and men, using his past not as a source of shame, but as a lesson and a responsibility to lead those he teaches to better choices.

If you’re a man navigating fatherhood, leadership, personal development, or the weight of past decisions, this episode will meet you where you are.

With love,

Motivation is fleeting, so how do we take action quickly before we “lose it?” 

Start before you’re ready! 

I’ve said it for years, perfection is paralyzing. 

Tomorrow isn’t promised. 

And if you don’t start NOW, when will you?

In this milestone 4-year anniversary episode I invite you to join me on a transformative journey into the world of self-talk. Over these years, I've encountered both challenges and triumphs, learning the invaluable lessons of self-grace and the power of showing up authentically. As we celebrate this milestone, I encourage you to reflect with me on the profound impact of the words we speak to ourselves.

In this episode, I'm uncovering how our internal dialogue, particularly negative self-talk, can shape our reality and influence us as professionals, parents, and leaders. Discover how shifting this narrative can lead to more positive outcomes, empowering you to transform obstacles into opportunities. I'll share actionable strategies to help you cultivate a kinder, more affirming inner voice, setting you on a path to self-compassion and holistic growth.

Together, we'll explore the concept of expectations—both self-imposed and perceived from others—and how forgiving ourselves can pave the way for realistic goal setting and personal development.

Thank you for being here! Your reviews and support is why I'm still showing up. Let's harness the power of positive self-talk and continue our journey towards summoning our superhuman potential.

With love & gratitude,

Feeling like you've hit a plateau? Stuck in old ways, old habits that no longer seem to be helping you, but rather hindering you? 

This episode was inspired by people telling me this is what they're facing and experiencing right now. We all get to these cross roads from time to time, but there's more to consider than meets the eye. 

Let's chat about some reasons to consider why what has always worked - stops working.

Here for you! Share your thoughts / questions with me. 

With love always,
Ria Mestiza

Are you curious about the origins of the Equinox? Who and where are the earliest records of Equinox being spoken about and documented in history? 

What are the traditions, meanings and ceremonies being practiced around these times of year? What's the significance in the southern hemisphere versus the northern hemisphere? 

It's fascinating to see what practices we gravitate to naturally. It's innately inexplainable how freely we are drawn to certain activities according to the astrological actions taking place that we can't see.

Dive in a little....or A LOT, with me on all things Equinox. And I hope you enjoy learning more about it's rich history as I did.

With love, 
Ria Mestiza

There's a time to persist and a time to desist. So how do we know when it's time to quit for your own good or continue to make an effort on something that doesn't appear to be working out? 

Lets chat about quitting and what signs, symptoms and solutions we can divulge.

Yours in all things Mind, Body, Soul,
Ria Mestiza

When I think of a light hearted example of persistence, I think of kids. 

They get fixated on "a want" and they'll ask a parent - "NO"

Ask the other parent (lol) - "NO"

Rinse and repeat, beg and plead. Cry and try every angle, every avenue until one parent, maybe both, can see how badly the child wants the thing, it must really be important to them and the next moment....their persistence has paid off!

Anyway, I'll save all the details for the episode, I've jam packed it with punch, so enjoy! Share your aha's or persistence examples with me after you've tuned in. 

With sincere gratitude 
and sending love your way, 
Ria

It used to control me, but now I am in control.

It's funny, I hadn't ever looked up the meaning of what it entails to be deemed having an "addictive personality", I just inherently knew I fit the bill. 

Addiction is usually blacklisted as "bad", but is it? Can we flip the script and learn to not only understand addictions and addictive behavior, but leverage that behavior for our greater good? 

I've been able to. So that's at least one example of it being possible. 
Now it's your turn ;)

Let me know what hits home and what next steps you're committing to make.

In your corner Superhuman in the making, 
Coach Ria Mestiza

I've FAILED and PROCRASTINATED so much it hurts! 

Not delivering episodes regularly has killed me every single week that goes by. 

Why do we do this to ourselves? 

Procrastinate, then feel like a failure. These "blocks" don't benefit us, they hinder us, from doing the things we truly want to do. 

So here I am, months and months later again talking about time going by so quicky, but this time with some TIPS on how you can overcome failure and procrastination faster than I've certainly been able to. 

I will do better! Lets finish 2024 strong! 
What are you going to focus on? 

Let me know :) 
Enjoy Superhuman!
With Love, 
Ria

I share my reflections and humble beginnings, my disappointments and achievements. 

And where to from here...

Tune in and enjoy this short & sweet episode in tribute to S.Y.S 3 year birth-day special :)

With love, 
Ria Mestiza

Inspired by a journal entry I wrote just after my birthday early this month, I've had this topic marinating and ready to roll out this heart to heart with you today. 

There's something about birthdays, the reflection that takes place weeks or days leading up to and the post-bday reflections. A kindred path of reflections and deep pondering occur in the lead up to and post a funeral, about the persons life being commemorated.

Let me know if you've had similar thoughts. A short, casual chat about birth and death.  

With love, 
Ria Mestiza

This is a story about perspective and resilience. 
Anthony's story from a young lad of 21 years and what altered his life in an instant, to the now 21 year story that evolved since that day. 

His book "In the Blink of an Eye" is an entertaining and informative insight into the challenges he has had to overcome. He believes we are all strong in our own ways and maybe you'll resonate with how Anthony has dealt with the cards he has pulled.

Anthony has an upcoming book launch with details TBA. But if you're impatient and eager to dive in, like I was, use the code "SUPERHUMAN" to order your copy today via the link below.

We both hope you enjoy this discussion.

This conversation could have branched off into many directions, but the surprising truth is, it's not inherently "bad" to people please or fit in, until it IS. 

Everything has a time and place, but if you find yourself being an incessant doormat and wall flower in your life, your unique self is being stunted from blossoming. 

THIS we want to make sure does NOT happen. 

As always, follow your instincts. If you feel pulled to tune in, then this bite sized episode is for you! 

Enjoy Superhuman <3 

Much love, 
Ria Mestiza

It's been a crazy month, have you felt the shifts and energetic changes in your body? 

Sometimes we can ignore these feelings in our bodies, but something feels different this time. Lets talk about what's been going on this last month and what you could also be potentially experiencing. 

As much as these "live chats" are out of my comfort zone, they feel necessary. If you're enjoying them and have a topic or question in mind for a future episode, please feel free to comment and make a suggestion via any of the SYS social channels.

I'll get better at being more succinct in time just chatting away by myself, I'm quite comfortable chatting to guests, but solo chats are a different ballgame I'm still getting used to. 

Thank you for your patience and support as always.
Hope you find this helpful. 

Til nextime superhuman!

Much love, 
Ria Mestiza

PS- You might also find amethyst stone crystals helpful to hold or keep on you when you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or nervous. I've been wearing a crystal bracelet with some other stones on it also all month :) 

I'm back Superhumans! And today I talk about and share my example of fear of failure (and success) with you via this LIVE raw and real conversation over coffee or tea perhaps *virtual cheers*. 

I can't believe it's been almost three months! That was confronting for me to see, but I'm excited to bring this to you today and I hope my example and this episode will help nudge you to do something you perceive as scary, like going live and putting yourself in a position to fail AND succeed - all at the same time. Impossible? I AM possible. 

I just did it. 

Now it's your turn ;)

Much love always fellow superhuman summoners, 
Coach Ria Mestiza

If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that life is too short and can change in an instant. We talk about so many great things in this podcast, from the power of words and thoughts, to how to rewire your subconscious being and much more. 

Dr. Marsha Evans is a high vibe Manifestation Coach. She has her doctorate in Clinical Psychology - with a concentration in forensics. She spent approximately 10 years training and working in various prison mental health departments across the country. She climbed her way up the corporate ladder after receiving her degrees by age 26 and truly thought she "made it." 

However, overtime, the prison system burned her out. After experiencing depression for the first time in early 2020, she decided to take a break from her job. This was where it all began. Shortly thereafter, she experienced three pretty traumatic events resulting in tremendous grief and a near-death situation. These events were the catalyst to her spiritual awakening and the moment she radically changed her life. 

She went on a deep healing journey and began learning the principles behind manifestation. In a short period of time, Dr. Marsha began to manifest all sorts of things like free first class flights, 10k to invest in her Airbnb business, a free house, free dentist appointments (the list goes on). But, what mattered the most to her was she manifested her peace and happiness. Dr. Marsha now teaches others how to manifest their deepest desires through a combination spirituality, psychology, and a touch of science.  

ENJOY Superhuman!

You can find Dr Marsha on Instagram and tik tok @manifestwithmarsha
She currently has a few 1:1 spots left for the remaining of the year. Feel free to follow her on the socials and shoot her a dm. You can also email her hello@manifestwithmarsha.com

She left her corporate career in 2012 to raise her young daughters and recover her health.

In 2019, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a triathlete and completed the NYC marathon.

Tricia leverages all her experiences to help moms strengthen their minds & bodies for longevity.  She believes that when you look and feel better, you’re better equipped to pursue your dreams!

You are not alone. Addictions and feeling ashamed, unworthy and emotional about what you're experiencing in life is heavy to carry around, yet it's all too common. Support and asking for help can alleviate so much of this weight and in this episode Ellen shares her experiences and why she says sobriety is her superpower.

Ellen Elizabeth is an infertility warrior and recovery advocate who uses her skills as an author and sober mother of twins to coach women struggling with feelings of shame and inadequacy. These mothers feel powerless to quit drinking or unable to bring a child into the world. Through radical honesty and recovery principles, Ellen inspires moms and their partners in all forms to define who they want to be and transform their demons into dreams.
 
Ellen has been featured in publications such as Authority Magazine, Collective World, and Recovery Today Magazine, as well as dozens of podcasts. To keep herself centered, she makes her home with her family of 5 (dog included!) in Colorado Springs, CO.  
 Join Ellen’s growing list of followers on Instagram & Facebook at @itsellenelizabeth. To find out more–especially the moment you can preorder her memoir Split Ends–visit Ellen’s website at www.itsellenelizabeth.com.

The incredible story behind how Peter has earned his reputable title as Australia's "Property Professor" and more. The power of combining your personal and professional passions into a fruitful career.

Peter holds a teaching degree, Graduate Diploma in Property, Masters of Business (Property) and Master of Urban and Regional Planning. He has been teaching in real estate and investment for over 20 years. Peter also personally develops/invests in property and currently owns several properties.

Peter has the ability to combine the theory of property investment with the practical aspects so as to teach people how to make money for themselves from investing in property, whether they be buying, selling, renting, renovating or developing property.

He is a regular contributor to numerous newspapers/ magazines/websites and appears on Channel 7's Today Tonight, Channel 9 News and Sky Business Your Money Your Call for his research and comments on the property market.

Peter researches property markets around the nation, looking for the best suburbs to invest in each capital city.

Peter has recently completed his third book , "The Diary of a Small Developer", co-authored with Margaret Lomas.

So whether you have interests in property investment or development, a career in property OR you want to combine your loves into your life by design... I believe you'll find Peter's journey very informative. A man who is happily in a position he has worked hard his adult life to be in, it's always valuable to learn a lesson from the wise.

Enjoy this episode with Peter Koulizos!

Have you ever had your heart set on a big goal and realized it won't come to fruition? It's devastating at the time and for a period thereafter, but usually a new path becomes illuminated and we set our sights anew. 

After his childhood basketball dream got benched, Daniel found himself led down an entwined detour of professional evolution. 

Daniel first merged into 3 years as the Athletic Trainer & Massage Therapist for the Adelaide Crows Football Club before moving into the High Performance Department of Cycling Australia which further inspired his passion for Athletic Development & Performance. 

Now he is the owner/director of GameReady Performance. A big dream actualized and an abundance of opportunities still yet to bloom! 

Persistence pays off! The hard work ethic of athletes transfers into career pathways if you seek it or it is so destined to be. Tune into Daniel Chudleigh's interview to find out more.

Setbacks suck in the moment. Things are going so well, then BAM! A roadblock. So what do we do? Take it as an omen and give up or...

It's been a challenging few months to say the least and it would've been easy for me to fallback into victim consciousness, but when you're aware and have mastered said lessons, it's on you to ensure you don't.

Rise like a phoenix from the ashes. 
Let go of old stories and villains and thrive into your superhuman potential!

Strengthen your mind, body and soul muscles superhuman....
and stay amazing! ;)

We're back with episode 40! 

Heart Led Healing is the response to the increasing normalization and acceptance of suboptimal health. It's a place to give the medicine (and power) back to the people! In a time when the industrial medical complex leaves many feeling lost, hopeless, and dependent... it's a solution to a system that keeps the majority in a cycle of ill health.

Onjae is a certified clinical herbalist and health coach who specializes in optimizing and enhancing the process of detoxification. He recognizes that increasing environmental toxicity is making it extremely difficult to achieve and maintain vital health.

Onjae has lived, learned, and healed from chronic illness. He helps people reclaim their health (and lives) with holistic healing methods that span from nutrition, traditional herbal medicine, and biohacking to the latest science of mindfulness, neural/limbic retraining, and more.

Tune in to listen to us connect (and geek out) on what you can do to take back control of your health.

Are you willing to bet on yourself? Girl Athlete Mentor Paige Tonz is giving us the inside scoop into the thousands of young athletes minds and how she herself is now able to coach Girl Athletes and equipping them with the tools, tips and quite frankly the guidance we both wished we had as young athletes ourselves.

Overwhelm, worrying about letting the team down and overcoming mistakes are things of high concern when sport becomes passion. Even as adults, this transfers to the working world and conference rooms just the same in retrospect.

Paige is on a mission to transform girls into strong women beyond the playing field. She has a program called "The Confident Athlete Program", so connect with her via her website: www.paigetonz.com for more details.

Some people would get excited at the thought of being able to go back in time and change their past...but is that really true? What we go through shapes our lives and experiences and therefore who we are today.

What we can do, is look at what's happened from a different perspective - a bit like those epiphanies we have when we review and reflect with the realization that things happened as they should - a new reality.

In December of 2020, Joey Kramer rewrote his DNA through the power of Compassion, Forgiveness, and Love, which in turn, changed the direction of his life forever. His mission and purpose is to now share his journey as he helps show people that they too can rewrite and heal from the traumas of their past in order to create the reality and life they truly desire, simply by using the power of our own wonderful imagination.

Launching this April 2022, Joey is pioneering the way with his new Reality Practice Network, which I am proud to be one of the 12 leaders teaching through their own shows, so stay tuned as it's launching soon!

What a magical day! Numerically, Spiritually and can you believe it's Summon Your Superhuman's 1 Year Anniversary since its unveiling to the world! 

I made excuses for quite some time before I conjured the courage to launch this show and I'm so grateful that I have <3

What's stopping you from doing what you want to do? What excuses or limiting beliefs do you keep telling yourself as to why you can't do it or it's not worth doing? 

At first I told myself, there's already so many podcasts out there... I don't need to do my own, I'll just guest on other peoples podcasts, summits and conferences. I wasn't ready to commit for quite some time, until a friend gave me that gentle nudge that got the decision over the line (Thank you Corey) and now here we are exactly 1 year later on a date with a multitude of  wondrous meanings. 

So what's stopping you now? Maybe this is the message of encouragement you need today.

Sending love, light and gentle *nudges ;)

Are you ready and willing to follow your heart? Take your mission in life?
YES! Is what Jake said when he could've taken the easy route, but he made the commitment to pursue his calling and has been doing such incredible things ever since.

ENJOY!!

AND WE'RE BACK! First episode for 2022 is LIVE and it's a heart to heart inspired by three words that stopped me in my tracks and I wanted to share this with you superhumans who are currently stopped in your tracks for whatever reason.

Regret and Fear is like Kryptonite to pursuing our potential. Hindering us from achieving our goals. Emotions literally can seize our motion.  So I hope this will shed some light and ignite a different perspective to the blockages.

We want to create the roadmap to our superhuman success story and it starts with YOU! 

I've still got clients buzzing from a private workshop I held in January to "Power Up your Potential", if this sounds like something of interest to you I'll consider opening it up to my Superhuman listeners, but I won't know if you don't tell me :)

Good to be back and hitting the ground running this New Year. 
I've been a guest on other peoples shows, but it's time to get back to the one that means the most <3

How's 2022 going for you so far? Let me know if you find this episode helpful.

Did you know 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce nowadays? I didn't, but I'm not surprised.

Today we chat with Divorce Coach Eleanor Crawford on all things divorce, breakups and separation. 

The hardest, but most rewarding thing for both parties involved, whether they realize it or not at the time. For what can feel like a lonely process, doesn't need to be one with so many others out there experiencing or having experienced the same circumstances. 

Share your story, you never know who needs it and this episode is all about Eleanor's experiences specifically. If you'd like to connect further with her, know anyone who would benefit from her services and/or would like to attend the Divorce Diva lunch this October 10th 2021, please follow the links below:

The first interview I ever did for the podcast, even before the show had a name. I knew I wanted to share some words of wisdom from my dad. 85 years young and still as chatty today, he'll tell you stories until he runs out of gas - literally. 

From his humble beginnings, losing both parents by 10 years old and packing up for a new life in a new country by himself at 18 not knowing the language, he had a fire in his belly to create a better life for himself and he was willing to do and try anything to find what exactly his path was meant to be. 

His next level determination and work ethic is one I've adopted, but I also realized when he had his first heart attack almost 30 years ago, that it was important to know when to recharge and take time for self care. 

Let me introduce to you, my father, my hero, Gaetano Monteodorisio.

Enjoy!

In a day and age where we introverts may feel pressure to show up louder than we feel authentically possible. This is the episode for you. Not only is it ok to know when to retreat and recharge, but Tosin shares with us the steps to THRIVE as an introvert.

We are and can exercise both introvert and extrovert qualities, there is no right or wrong, only what is true for you. Settle in and enjoy this conversation about how to honor your introvert superpowers.

Connect with Tosin on Instragram (She's inspired me to do a 5 day LIVE challenge, should I do it?) Find her at @ThrivingIntrovertly and her podcast also goes by the same name, so make sure to check that out too.

This Transformation Tuesday episode is the long-awaited thumbnail reveal! The why and the meaning behind why I chose this red bikini one vs the blue nerdy superhuman one. 

This was also recorded live in person from Fitsique Home-Q so if you want, check out the video episode to see me speaking this out in real time.

Did you know I competed in my last comp with zero prep? Sure did! Just to prove it's possible. Could I have looked better with a week or two under my belt? Absolutely, which is why there's a difference between photoshoot and comp ready, but I did it anyway to show my clients a valuable lesson that now I'll share with you.

A road map for results looks different for every individual. Personalized plans of action is like having the blueprints for the house, whereas the same map that worked for someone else is like getting directions and looking at the results via google street view.

Want to know more? Send me your question. I'd love to answer any questions or further details you may like me to share. No such thing as a silly question. 

Hope you enjoy this episode!

Gary Martinez Jr is a father of two. A course creator for his S.T.A.R program for helping parents and teachers understand and strategize with love and support for children with Autism. He is an author of "Living Life Through their Eyes" (highly recommend) and a Personal Fitness Trainer. 

Currently 1 in 100 Australians have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Admittedly, I didn't know a whole lot about Autism prior to preparing for this interview and it has been greatly rewarding to learn and understand that there is no one size fits all approach for people with ASD, so just like any superhero - there are strengths and weaknesses. 

I believe we can all take a leaf out of this episode to bring awareness of what ASD is all about and also, how we can learn to appreciate the necessities and musts for people with ASD can actually benefit you in your everyday life.

Flying solo for being a no show last week and on what better topic than Sleep Deprivation! Because frankly I was recovering from just that, self inflicted, but we don't always have a choice, so what can we do? And what are the long term effects that we need to be aware of?

A sleep deprived superhuman is like superman with kryptonite draining his mental and physical capacity. 

The purpose of this episode is to be informative and empower you to show up as your best self, it is not to diagnose or treat in any way, but stimulate the desire to upgrade your sleep game :) 

If you want to learn more about sleep and sleep hacks, I'm happy to recommend some great reads for what you may want to dive deeper in to. As always share your wins on the Superhuman Socials and let us know your biggest takeaways.

There's a lot to learn in the details of John's journey. A psychology masters to living in a temple, being ordained as a monk, to now coaching business leaders of light. 

We often approach a fork in the road and freeze with fear as to what is the "right" next best decision....then most often are so scared to be wrong that nothing happens. 

Change is imminent, it's beautiful to hear the reflections John has made on his decisions and I hope you will get as much value out of this episode as I had speaking with him.

Naomi couldn't speak highly enough of her gratitude for Charlie Teo and "Mind, Body, Connection." Fortunately she also had amazing support around her.

After two strokes, surgeries, the whole 9 yards and being given a death sentence of 3 months... She followed her instincts and that's the reason she's here to share her extraordinary story with us today. She calls it stubbornness, I call it a champion attitude, but nonetheless, there's a lot we don't know about Brain Cancer and a lot more to learn. 

Thankfully, Charlie Teo, a neurosurgeon in NSW is saving the lives of people other surgeons won't operate on and is in need of as much funding to make even more impact. 

Join us on the Summon Your Superhuman team page via the Charlie Teo Foundation and make any donation you can so we can help so many more people get a chance to be a survivor too.

We open up with "I'm every reason to not be successful" and finish with "what we speak we keep". If that doesn't already call you to listen up, because Tracey Lee Cook and I have a real heart to heart about how Tracey has endured and overcome abuse and trauma in her life and arisen victorious. 

It's no surprise her podcast show is called "Victim to Victory". Which by the way I've spoken on if you're keen to listen. 

Tracey is just a beautiful soul making her impact on this world, to connect further with her you can find her on all the social channels, you won't regret it and I truly hope you get as much out of this episode as we did recording it for you. 

Time to put that superhero cape on ;)

Tim Diegan's triumphant journey from a solo Personal Trainer to a successful Business Owner. Didn't come without challenges and obstacles to bypass.

This is raw and real talk for any Personal Trainer of any level, or even a leader in any industry. There are stages we honor as we dive into Tim's journey thus far and the passion that exudes no desire for an end in sight.

The best part about putting in so much effort, time and experience honing in on your passion is the ability to be able to speak about it and teach it to others inspiring to follow your lead.

Here's the truth...

Starting is not winning...

Finishing is winning.

You don't lose, if you don't quit.

To commemorate the release of the official first episode for Summon Your Superhuman inspired by Corey and partially in fear that the first episode wasn't going to be as great as I hoped. Fortunately it was! But I didn't have the flow in place and the final question down packed when I first started, so it was only fair we dive a bit deeper into Corey's Superhero origin story and his response to the final question everyone has answered thus far.

From last week's Quick Fix to the recipe for the long game!

We had fun catching up and chatting about the long game plans, so we hope this inspires action for many more to take the first step into something that's been avoided.

If you need a gentle nudge, Summon Your Superhuman have a team in support of Brain Cancer Awareness Month this May. It's a Brain & Body challenge! All you have to do is join the team/donate and you're in!! Let the fun begin!! 100% of donations go straight to the foundation! Join here:

Episode 10! I have a surprise for you! This is actually the original episode 1!
The very first episode I every recorded for this podcast show.  The first raw and real conversation that propelled me to actually do what I said I would.

My guest Corey Dion Lewis has been a Primary Care Health Coach for 11 years and is the host of The Healthy Project Podcast which I've been a guest on twice. My initial motivation for finally recording my first! Thank you Corey!

Today we dive in to "diets", the clients and patients that we each see and the expectations that people have today. What works and what doesn't - what's the right way for you to get to your desired result.

Check out Corey's Podcast, especially Episode 2 Season 1 and we did another about "The Last Dance" documentary in Season 2. 

Doing it alone is a slow and lonely venture.

This episode is Ria sharing her reflections after being posed a question.
Ria Mestiza was recently voted #1 Health & Wellness Coach in Australia 2021.

In this episode she hits record and speaks from the heart.  Diving into what slows us down and most importantly what we can do to speed up the process to get results.

Coaches are teachers. At the end of the day the whole point of a teacher is to lead you from A-Z a whole lot faster than it ever took them to get there.

This May is Brain Cancer awareness month, so you're invited to join the Summon Your Superhuman team to challenge yourself, grow awareness and raise much needed funds for Brain Cancer Research through the Charlie Teo Foundation. 

All you have to do is donate via the team page here to join and you'll get weekly accountability and support for the entire month of May! Lets strengthen our minds and bodies together!

Note: Not my best work on sound I'm sorry, but I hope my words will be of value. Thank you.

Mark Ottobre is the owner and founder of Enterprise Fitness in Melbourne, Victoria.

He’s a trainer of champions and the reason I love superheroes. 

Creator of Wolfpack which I can proudly say I was the first coach he called to be a part of back in 2016. His mission is to raise the standards of trainers in the health and fitness industry and is certainly leading the way. He’s the reason I reconnected to using “Personal Trainer” with pride.

He was a big influence on me in my early days as a coach. I had all the passion, but lacked the business and structure to be successful at what I do. All heart, but no hope, until I got the call from Mark to take part in his Wolfpack Mentorship Program. 

Mark has been very open in sharing that he was once upon a time the fat kid in school until he found a love for weight training in high school that transformed his life and it’s safe to say he hasn’t looked back. 

Now he’s leading the way and is a massive influence on the next generation of health and fitness leaders. He has raised the stakes and expectations of what and how a trainer can change your life. 

And in this episode we talk about superheroes, plus what he does to collect his thoughts and how he’s managed to summon his superhuman strength in times when he needed it. 

Enjoy! And share the love and comments below. 

If you’d like to connect with Mark, you can easily find him on FB, IG, YouTube and he has his own podcast “The Wolf’s Den” where you can tune in to his great work. 

Enterprise Fitness is a Personal Training Studio located in Richmond, Melbourne VIC.
