179. Psychotherapist Freya Bronwin on navigating the non-physical challenges of injury
179. Freya Brownin: Reframe Sessions
In this episode with friend of the show; Freya, we spoke about the complexities of the mental and emotional side of injury. How do we best support those around us who are injured or unable to do the thing that they love?
Freya works therapeutically with a range of individuals and groups, including teenagers, families, execs & athletes. She is particularly interested in supporting the emotional well-being and mental strength of individuals during and after injury. As a runner and ex competitive rower herself, she has experienced the challenges that injuries can bring, and the possibilities than can unfold with meaningful support.
The approach to Reframe Sessions is shaped by Freya's core training in systemic and narrative therapy. Problems are looked at in the context of the bigger picture of people’s lives. The way a problem affects - and is affected by - our relationships, the social and cultural factors that shape our experiences, and the way each of these influence the stories we tell about ourselves. We'll work together to identify the skills, values, and communities that can help reduce the influence of the problem on a person’s life.
Reframe Sessions use these ideas in combination with coaching techniques and mindset skills that tend to work well with athletes.

178. Abandon Your Goals in 2025
178. Abandon Your Goals in 2025
What if I told you that abandoning your goals could lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling running experience? What if we already have all that we want? Or what if there was a way to get to where we want faster that meant we actually had to let go of specific and rigid goals?
Today Lydia challenges the conventional ideas around goal setting and popularised hustle culture. We live in a 'do more' world and this episode is going to cover why chasing the next big thing is actually holding you back.
Episode covers:
- the problem with goals, the pitfalls of "heroic individualism" and comments on our obsession with hard work
- journey over destination mentality, structures and habits rather than obsession over outcome.
- mindfulness, ego and presence; how this affects our sense of self improvement and worth
- defining personal values; what themes emerge in your life, what brings you joy?
Material Mentioned;
- Brad Stulberg - 'The Practice of Groundedness'
- James Clear - 'Atomic Habits'
- Eckhart Tolle - ' A New Earth'
- Hugh Van Cuylenburg - 'The Resilience Project'
- Podcast: The Art Of Accomplishment '118. Pleasure' (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-art-of-accomplishment/id1540650504?i=1000670999823 )
