What if your greatest challenges were actually your biggest opportunities for growth?

From a life-altering injury and 20 years of chronic pain to running the Great Wall of China Marathon, positive psychology coach Stephanie Caldow from Think Collective shares her remarkable journey of defying limits and rewriting what’s possible.

In this episode, Steph challenges the idea that strategy or circumstances are the biggest blockers to success. Instead, she reveals why the real bottleneck in our lives and businesses is the subconscious mind, where up to 95% of our actions are driven on autopilot.

We explore powerful, practical frameworks including:

• Be, Do, Have: Why identity change must come before goal achievement

• The Nemesis Tool: A simple but confronting exercise to visualise and step into your highest-performing self

• Inspiration vs Motivation: Why great leaders inspire belief and behaviour, not just action

Whether you’re a leader feeling stuck, a business owner hitting invisible ceilings, or someone wrestling with self-doubt, this conversation offers a clear roadmap to rewire your thinking, overcome internal barriers, and unlock sustainable high performance.
