The Your Reformer Podcast

In today's episode, we're talking to the talented Australian diver, Annabelle Smith. Belle is an impressive Olympic bronze medalist, triple Olympian and Commonwealth Games champion. She's currently training for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, which she believes will be her last.

As an empowered female in sport, we really enjoyed chatting to Belle about where her motivation and inspiration comes from and how she finds balance in what we can imagine is a very hectic schedule. She opens up about her experience with injury and importantly with accepting help as you navigate through life's challenges and the mental load that that can take on us.

We thought this was an important message for people, particularly post COVID and the increasing demands for support on mental health. During our interview, we asked her about the pressures on social media and being labeled a role model to young women, as well as the all encompassing question of what's next after diving.

In this episode, we're talking to the wonderful and inspirational Dr. Sarah Jane Perri, or Dr. Sarah Jane Chiro, for those of you who follow her on socials. She's a woman who has a passion for life and a thirst for learning. And it's these values that motivate her to in turn, help others and educate them in the philosophies and experiences that can improve their well being or quality of life.

With a background in psychology originally, and then following on with her chiropractic degree, she's particularly interested in how the body and the mind are interconnected, and how our experiences in life can leave an imprint in our body. Some of these experiences can show up as reoccurring pain or uncomfortable symptoms, and her clients often turn to her when Western Medicine has been unable to relieve or find an answer for these.

In today's episode, we chat with Elena Collins, also known as Perks of Pilates on Instagram. She's a fitness trainer, Physio, and Pilates expert – and yes, we bonded over Pilates. Elle has an amazing sense of humour, and our conversation was filled with energy and fun.

We delve into why Pilates is so empowering, especially for women, and what Elle personally loves about it. We discuss letting go, following life's journeys, and the opportunities that arise when you pursue your passions. Elle also bravely opens up about her mental health battles, making our chat a truly enlightening experience.
