Sparta Chicks Radio: Mindset | Confidence | Sport | Women
A few weeks ago, Sparta Chicks Radio celebrated its 5th birthday. And there is no one I’d rather share that celebration with than this week’s return guest, Lucy Barnard! Lucy is attempting to become the 1st woman to walk the length of the world. She set off in February 2017 from Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina to walk to Barrow, Alaska; a journey of 30,000km /20,000mi across 15 countries that she anticipated would take about 5 years.

Sparta Chicks Radio: Mindset | Confidence | Sport | Women
Today you’re going to meet the awesome Gill Castle (you’ll understand the significance of the ‘awesome’ once you listen to this conversation! Gill describes herself as a very ordinary person and Police Officer before the birth of her son in 2011 changed her life. His premature birth left her with traumatic injuries, the full extent of which weren’t identified by doctors for 5 days.

#174: Jo Lum on the Power of Backing Yourself
Sparta Chicks Radio: Mindset | Confidence | Sport | Women
Jo Lum is a Sydney-based triathlete and busy mum who has been a regular on the triathlon scene for years.
info_outlineIn 2019, Sarah Davis became the first woman to lead an expedition along the length of the Nile and joined me on the show in episodes 34 and 134 to discuss it.
This time she returns to share her next epic adventure, in which she’s swapping her paddles for pedals and will ride 5,000 unsupported across Australia!
In this conversation, we discuss:
* why, just 8 months after finishing her Nile expedition, she decided to paddle the length of Australia’s longest river, the Murray - a journey of 2,500km
* where (and when) the idea to ride across Australia came from,
* the logistics involved and how she’s preparing her body - and butt! - for the ride,
* what she the Nile expedition taught her about risk management and how you can manage the risks associated with your adventures,
* mental health challenges, eating disorders and developing a deeper appreciation for what your body can do, as opposed to what it looks like.
