Why You’re Still Putting Yourself Last

You think you’re just tired because work is busy, the kids keep you on your toes, or training leaves you sore. But the truth is, your body is waving a red flag. Every late night, every skipped meal, every “I’ll just push through” leaves you running on empty. In this episode, we take you from thinking fatigue is “just part of life” to seeing it for what it is: your body stuck in survival mode. We unpack how recovery is actually where strength, energy, and patience are built and why simple shifts like 30 extra minutes of sleep, a short walk after dinner, or saying no once this week can reset your system. You’ll realise recovery isn’t optional, it’s your greatest tool to recharge, repair, and show up fully for the people and priorities that matter most.

Feeling exhausted, foggy, and snappy at home or work? That’s the cost of the “easy” choices sneaking up on you. Skipping the gym feels easier in the moment, but living in a body that’s always tired, achy, and running on caffeine is its own kind of hard. In this episode, we unpack the idea of “choosing your hard” and why the short-term discomfort of training, meal prep, or switching off Netflix early pays you back with strength, energy, and presence for the people who matter most. You’ll hear examples of what these choices look like in daily life, why they reshape your identity and resilience, and a simple action step to shift your energy this week. The truth is, you’re already choosing hard every day, this conversation will help you choose the one that builds the life you actually want.

Your kids are asking you to join adventures, but you’re too tired, sore, or out of breath to keep up. Every hike turned back, backyard game skipped, or beach swim missed is a memory lost, not just for you, but for the people you love. It’s easy to think there will always be another chance, but these opportunities don’t wait until you’re fitter or less busy. In this episode, Matt shares a powerful story from a hike in Tasmania and we explore how moving your body now gives you the energy, strength, and confidence to say “yes” to life’s best moments. From hikes and bike rides to backyard games and beach adventures, we break down simple ways to show up fully and create memories that will last a lifetime.

You’re not tired because you’re lazy, you’re tired because you’re last on your own list. In this episode, we speak directly to the parents, professionals, and carers who carry it all… but leave nothing for themselves. You’ve been showing up for everyone else, your kids, your job, your family, but when it’s time to move, eat well, or just pause… you disappear. We unpack why that happens, how guilt keeps you stuck, and what showing up for yourself really looks like. With practical, realistic shifts, like movement anchors, Sunday resets, and redefining what a win looks like, this episode is your permission slip to stop surviving and start feeling strong, present, and human again.

You say you don’t have time, but even when you do, you still don’t choose you. Busy parents and professionals often give their best to everyone else, then feel guilty for wanting anything left for themselves.

You’ll discover why time isn’t the issue, it’s the standard you hold for your own needs. We’ll walk you through what giving yourself permission really looks like, how to drop the guilt, and simple ways to start showing up for yourself without waiting. Because your energy, clarity, and confidence aren’t selfish goals, they’re the foundation for everything else.
