    Carly Craig | The Subconscious Controlling Your Performance
    Jan 24 2026
    What if the thing holding you back isn’t your fitness, your talent, or your circumstances, but a belief you didn’t even realise you were running? In this episode, we sit down with Carly Craig, Isle of Man athlete, Island Games triathlete, corporate professional, and certified Belief Coding® facilitator. We start with sport,Carly’s journey from cross-country running to elite triathlon, what it really takes to train at a high level while holding down a demanding career, and the mental battles that come with endurance competition. Then the conversation goes deeper. Carly explains how subconscious beliefs shape performance, confidence, and self-sabotage, and how Belief Coding® is used to identify and re-programme the internal stories that quietly limit people in sport, business, and life. This is a conversation about performance, identity, resilience, and the invisible narratives that dictate how far we allow ourselves to go. If you’re interested in mindset, endurance, self-development, or unlocking another level of performance, this episode will challenge how you think about “limits.”

    Clara Issac | The Myth of “Not Enough Time” in Sport | Island Games Medalist
    Jan 19 2026
    From balancing elite training schedules to building sustainable habits in everyday life, Clara Isaac’s journey into triathlon is anything but conventional. In this episode, we sit down with Clara Isaac to explore how she transitioned into triathlon, rapidly progressed to competitive racing, and learned the technical and mental skills of a sport that demands mastery across swimming, cycling, and running. Clara opens up about fitting serious training around work and life commitments, the systems and routines that keep her consistent, and what she wishes she had known when she first started. We also dive into her role at Recycle Collect, where performance, discipline, and purpose extend beyond sport into sustainability and business. This conversation is about process over perfection, learning fast, and proving that you don’t need a lifetime in sport to perform at a high level, if you approach it the right way.

    Emma Wolstenholme | From Bobsleighs to War Zones, just say YES
    Jan 1 2026
    In this episode, Martin sits down with Emma to unpack a life shaped by one simple habit: saying yes. From growing up in a tough environment in Burnley to joining the RAF cadets, Emma explains how early exposure to structure, challenge and opportunity set her on a path very few could imagine. What begins with adventure — flying, kayaking, bobsleigh — steadily escalates into high-stakes military deployments, including being on the final helicopter out of Afghanistan. Emma shares what life is really like inside a war zone, how you think under pressure, and why calm decision-making matters more than courage. The conversation goes beyond military service, exploring leadership, self-belief, knowing when to walk away, and what happens when you stop living for an organisation and start choosing your own adventures. A grounded, honest conversation about momentum, consequence, and owning the path you choose.

  • Dr Beth Godwin | Psychology of Food and Breaking the Diet Culture

    Dr Beth Godwin | Psychology of Food and Breaking the Diet Culture
    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode, Martin is joined by Dr Beth Godwin, a clinical psychologist and certified intuitive eating counsellor, for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation about psychology, food, body image, and the environments we live in. Beth shares her personal and professional journey into psychology, shaped early by her mother’s work as a psychiatric nurse and later refined through years of clinical practice. Now specialising in the food and body space, Beth explains how many of us are born intuitive eaters and how diet culture slowly disconnects us from our body’s natural signals. Together, the conversation explores: What diet culture really is, and why it’s so deeply embedded in society How rigid food rules override intuition and damage our relationship with eating The difference between “fatphobia” and weight stigma, and why language matters Why health and body size are not the same thing How social media quietly reinforces harmful norms — and how to curate a healthier digital environment The psychological cost of loneliness, isolation, and loss of community Why loneliness may be more harmful to health than smoking The growing tension between technology, AI, and genuine human connection Beth also speaks openly about her own health challenges and how they prompted a shift toward online, community-based support spaces, designed to help people reconnect with their bodies with compassion rather than control. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: improving mental health isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about changing your relationship with food, your body, and the environments you’re immersed in every day. 🎧 If you’ve ever struggled with food, body image, or the pressure to “fix” yourself — this one is worth your time.

    Coffee with Conor | Ian McVeighty | From Hizzy, Grit and Two-Stroke Wisdom
    Dec 7 2025
    In this episode, we sit down with Ian McVeighty, a rider whose story captures the true spirit of Isle of Man racing — grit, resilience, and an unshakeable love for bikes. Ian takes us from his early days surrounded by motorbikes, through the two-stroke era, into the heart of road racing culture on the Island. He shares the raw reality of the sport: the crashes, the comebacks, the terrifying highside that left him with a fractured spine, nine broken ribs, and the daunting task of learning to walk again. But it’s also a story of determination — fuelled partly by someone telling him he’d never race again, a sentence that pushed him harder than any engine ever could. We talk two-stroke race craft, seizing engines, clutch technique, mentorship, the old newcomers races, practice week chaos, and what it really takes to dial in a bike on the Mountain Course. Ian reflects on leaving the Island as a teenager to compete, the value of being pushed outside your comfort zone, and the mindset required to go again after being broken — literally. Whether you’re into racing, mindset, or stories of pure resilience, this conversation captures the heritage of Hislop’s era, the toughness of road racing, and the lessons learned from life lived wide open.
