Explore every episode of the podcast Brave Everyday - Courage isn't the absence of fear, it is action despite it.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses rape, sexual violence and domestic abuse.

What happens when one of the most traumatic experiences of your life becomes the reason you find your voice?

In this powerful episode of Brave Everyday, I sit down with Cerys, a mum, survivor and advocate who is turning an unimaginable experience into a mission to create change.

After being raped following a date, Cerys found herself navigating not only the trauma itself, but a justice system that she says left her facing delays, uncertainty and a lack of support.

But she refused to stay silent.

Cerys shares openly about telling her teenage daughters, the reality of living with triggers, why our conversations around consent and sexual violence need to change, and how speaking publicly about her experience led other women to tell her, “It happened to me too.”

This is a conversation about survival, motherhood, courage and what can happen when we use our voices to help someone else feel seen, heard and less alone.

Because sometimes bravery isn't about having no fear.

It's having the difficult conversation. It's speaking when staying silent would be easier. And it's using what happened to you to help create something better for those who come after you.

In this episode of Brave Everyday, I’m joined by Luke John Harrison, coach, speaker and two-time author, for a brilliant conversation about fitness, mental health, identity and rebuilding your life from the inside out.

Luke openly shares his journey from drinking, drugs and struggling with his mental health to creating a life built around strength, structure and discipline.

We talk about the danger of the all-or-nothing mindset, why consistency beats intensity, using comparison as motivation rather than letting it steal your joy, and why sometimes doing less can actually move you further forward.

We also explore social media, parenting, happiness, feeling constantly busy, learning to adapt when life gets in the way and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who inspire you to grow.

And Luke leaves us with one powerful question:

Who are you becoming?

Because lasting change isn't only about what you achieve. It's about the person you become along the way.

A real, honest and thought-provoking Brave Everyday conversation about courage, discipline and becoming stronger from the inside out.

Luke Leyland and I are joined by Lee Strong, founder of The Wick Foundation, for a conversation that goes up, down, left and right but centres around some important real-life issues.

Lee shares how his own sobriety journey led him to create The Wick Foundation, The Wick Walk and The Sober Session Podcast, using exercise, community and connection to help him build a healthier life and support others along the way.

The trio then tackle the big subject of social media. Is it helping us or harming us? From filters and unrealistic expectations to online trolling, cyberbullying, negative comments and the impact social media can have on children and young people, they discuss both sides of living in an increasingly online world.

They also talk about the power we have to influence others, the importance of using platforms responsibly, protecting our children online, human connection, online dating, sobriety, support networks and why sometimes one conversation can be enough to spark change in someone else's life.

It's honest, funny, thought-provoking and, as always with Tough Talks, more unfiltered.

In this powerful episode of Brave Everyday, Louise speaks with Ryan T. Reichert about his journey from addiction, fear and self-destruction to sobriety, healing, purpose and helping others.

Ryan shares his story of growing up in a small town, struggling with alcohol from a young age, prescription drug addiction following military injuries, and serving for 20 years in the US Army before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. He opens up about reaching breaking point, attending his first AA meeting, losing his marriage and career, and having to rebuild his life with brutal honesty.

Now, Ryan is using his lived experience to create hope for others through speaking, writing, veteran support and his work with Healer, Our Protector.

Together, we discuss addiction, mental health, boundaries, people pleasing, confidence, healing, purpose and why our struggles can become part of the strength we use to help someone else.

A conversation about redemption, resilience and the power of sharing your story, because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let someone know they are not alone.

If they can do it, maybe you can too.

What if where you are right now isn't where you have to stay?

In this episode of Brave Everyday, I’m joined by Sam Beresford for a conversation that goes much deeper than simply talking about what we do.

We talk about ADHD, having a head full of ideas, believing that those ideas are actually possible, and the importance of not putting a limit on what your life could become.

Sam shares his belief that “you are meant for more” and that wherever you are right now doesn't have to be where you stay.

We also talk about something that takes an enormous amount of courage: walking away from the things that are destroying you.

Because sometimes being brave isn't about fighting harder or holding on tighter.

Sometimes it's knowing when something isn't good for you anymore, finding the strength to leave it behind, and accepting that you can still miss something, or someone, and know that walking away was the right thing to do.

And, of course, we get into the big questions too...

What does being brave actually mean?

Because there isn't a manual for life. Your story isn't supposed to look like mine, and mine isn't supposed to look like yours.

Your life is yours to write.

This is a real, honest conversation about ADHD, ambition, self-belief, purpose, change, letting go and having the courage to believe that there is more for you.

In this episode of Tough Talks, Brave Everyday sits down with co-host Luke Leyland to unpack the messy, personal topic of unrealistic expectations — what they are, who sets them, and how they shape self-esteem.

The conversation covers unrealistic expectations placed on single parents and working mums, outdated "Fred Flintstone" gender roles in the household, and the emotional load of being the one who "does it all." Luke opens up about a genuinely unrealistic ask, trying to arrange a fight in the Colosseum in Rome, and what he learned when the answer was a hard no. They also dig into how unrealistic expectations tie into low self-esteem and depression, why growing as a person can cost you certain friendships, and why setting boundaries and protecting your energy matters more with age.

Expect honest, unfiltered perspective from two very different but aligned points of view, a mum's lens and a dad's lens on a topic that touches almost everyone.

In this episode:

• Unrealistic expectations in parenting and relationships
• Gender roles and the mental load of working parents
• Luke's Colosseum story — reaching for the impossible
• Unrealistic expectations, self-esteem, and depression
• Growing apart from friends as you change
• Setting boundaries and protecting your energy

In this powerful conversation, Adam shares how he went from relying on alcohol and drugs to cope with life, to becoming a mindset and lifestyle coach helping people across the world improve their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with emotional eating coach Sam Gibson to unpack the psychology behind our eating habits and the deeper reasons we turn to food.

Sam shares his personal journey from struggling with eating disorders to helping others address the root causes of disordered eating. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, he explains why understanding the “why” behind our behaviour is essential for lasting change.

We explore the spectrum of disordered eating, the impact of past trauma, anxiety, and limiting beliefs, and how emotional eating is often a coping mechanism rather than a lack of willpower.

Sam also shares practical frameworks for overcoming emotional eating, reframing fear, building confidence through repetition, and finding purpose as a way to reduce anxiety and depression.

“It’s not what you think it is.” “Eating disorders are not labels.” “Courage is doing it anyway.”

This conversation is about awareness, responsibility, courage, and personal growth, and how we can create order from internal chaos.
