How to follow your intuition and reach your potential, with triathlon and Ironman legend Chrissie Wellington OBE. Chrissie was the Ironman world champion on four occasions- in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011- despite only turning pro at the relatively ripe age of 30. Chrissie planned to become a lawyer after graduating from university- but after spending 9 months travelling - she had a change of heart about her career path- and decided to focus on international development. It was a spell in Nepal that helped her discover her talent for endurance events however, and in 2007, she turned pro- saying she never wanted to be left thinking ‘what if?'. That decision paid dividends- she became Ironman world champion at the first time of asking- and her period of unparalleled dominance began.

In this episode – Chrissie talks about the importance of being open to new experiences- as it may lead you to passions that could otherwise have remained undiscovered. She talks about listening to your inner voice- and choosing to follow it, the importance of finding your why and using it as fuel and how to deal with your internal critic and avoiding perfectionism. She also explains the power of mantras and visualisation- and much more besides. Chrissie has written two books about her journey: "A life without limits" and "To the finish line" and speaking to her for this episode was an absolute delight- she is a true inspiration and she shares some top words of wisdom that anyone can benefit from.
