About this listen

 Most people don’t realise how deeply childhood trauma and self-doubt shape our sense of belonging…—and how that quietly impacts the life we go on to create.In this episode of Becoming Lucy, we sit down with Lhea — HYROX athlete, ambassador, and coach — who shares how she transformed grief, fear, and disconnection into real strength.Growing up around abuse and alcoholism, and losing her mum at just 21, Lhea’s early life was shaped by survival — not self-belief.She opens up about the fear of being seen…and how it kept her playing small, even when she had so much more to give.But everything changed when she stopped avoiding the pain —and started facing it.We explore the powerful truth that the body holds onto trauma…and how learning to feel, process, and rewire that pain can completely transform your life.Lhea shares the exact mindset tools that helped her heal and perform at a higher level, including: • Visualisation techniques to shift identity and belief • Learning to sit with and process physical sensations in the body • Rewriting the internal stories around worth, capability, and belongingIn just 8 weeks, she shaved 8 minutes off her HYROX time —not by training harder… but by changing her mental state.This conversation is a masterclass in emotional resilience, self-leadership, and what’s possible when you stop running from your past.We talk about why: • Ignoring your past can keep you stuck • Vulnerability is your greatest strength • Trauma can become your biggest advantageIf you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, grief, or feeling like you don’t belong… this episode is for you.Because your past doesn’t define you.....but how you process it might just change everything.—TakeawaysTrauma can be transformed into strength with the right mindset.Addressing childhood trauma is crucial for personal growth.Fitness can be a powerful tool for healing and empowerment.Negative comments and societal expectations can hold us back, but we can overcome them.Building resilience is a process that involves facing and overcoming adversity.Safety and confidence are interconnected, and feeling safe allows for growth.Grief can be a catalyst for positive change when processed healthily.Empowering women through shared experiences fosters community and strength.—Follow Lhea: @lhea.terzaki https://www.instagram.com/lhea.terzaki?igsh=MTl3ZW1oM243MWt3dQ==Follow us: @becominglucy https://www.instagram.com/becominglucy/—Chapters00:00 Introduction to Grief and Identity04:32 Lhea's Early Life and Challenges07:19 The Impact of Family Dynamics10:25 Navigating Relationships and Self-Identity13:22 The Role of Sports in Leah's Life16:23 Reflections on Motherhood and Loss19:21 Overcoming Adversity and Finding Strength22:47 The Impact of Self-Perception on Performance29:36 Navigating Grief and Personal Transformation38:10 Finding Strength Through Adversity42:47 The Journey to Self-Acceptance and Empowerment44:01 Navigating Personal Struggles and Professional Growth46:17 The Impact of Injury on Athletic Performance49:12 Transformative Experiences and Emotional Intelligence52:20 Learning to Process Emotions Effectively57:16 Rewriting the Narrative of Trauma01:01:22 Integrating Mental Health into Coaching Practices01:06:58 Embracing Change and Letting Go01:12:01 The Power of Self-Prioritization01:16:59 Setting Ambitious Goals01:21:15 Overcoming Trauma and Building Resilience01:24:22 Becoming Unapologetically Yourself—⚠️ Podcast Disclaimer• Informational Only: This content is for general information and entertainment.
