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_outlineI’m delighted to welcome Dr Anita Heiss to Sparta Chicks Radio this week
Anita is a proud member of the Wiradjuri Nation of central New South Wales and one of Australia’s most prolific and well-known authors.
She has written 18 books including her latest novel, an epic tale called Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray (or River of Dreams).
It’s also the first time in Australia a commercially published book has used a First Nations language for the title.
Anita enjoys eating chocolate, running and being a 'creative disruptor'.
Initially, I wanted to talk to Anita to explore her running career and how she uses running as a tool to support herself and her work.
Yet the more research I did, the more I realised I wanted to speak to her about:
- awareness, history and truth-telling,
- the importance of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and
- the power of using your voice, sharing your story and telling your truth.
Get the full show notes for the episode here.
