    How I Built Resilience After Cancer, Loss, and Disability

    Life rarely knocks us out with one clean punch. It’s more like a thousand small hits: financial stress, health worries, relationship friction, work pressure, the constant noise of a world that never seems to exhale. And one day you catch yourself thinking, “When did I become this version of me?” Less patient. More reactive. Living smaller. Hard times are guaranteed. The real question is what happens to you when life gets heavier. In this episode, I unpack the only resilience tools I trust, built in real-world adversity, not ripped from a motivation poster. I share the framework that carried me through cancer at 23, the loss of our firstborn son Aurelien, and now living with a degenerative neurological condition (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease). This is about mental resilience, emotional strength, and stress management that actually works when things are messy. The Three Rules of ResilienceThese aren’t “just think positive” ideas. They’re battle-tested principles for overcoming hardship and building a stronger mindset, even when life is unfair. If you’re facing a relationship breakdown, job loss, a health scare, grief, burnout, anxiety, or you’re simply overwhelmed by uncertainty, this episode will help you stop shrinking and start becoming someone hard seasons can’t break. What you’ll learnOwn your circumstance without becoming a victim Stop handing your power to things you can’t control, and start authoring your response.Why seeking discomfort creates real growth The difference between people who heal and people who harden when life hurts.How to love your fate Build a meaningful life with your challenges, not “after” they disappear.How to stop fighting life and start partnering with it Quietly unstoppable confidence, grounded and real.Why acceptance isn’t surrender, it’s traction Turn resistance into momentum and move forward from where you actually are. The world is louder, faster, and more uncertain. But you don’t need a perfect life to become a powerful person. You just need a decision: let hard things make you bitter… or let them make you better. ------------------------ Book Bart as a Speaker: Bart’s Website 🎬 Want to watch this episode? ⁠Youtube⁠ 💻 Follow Bart on socials: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok ⁠ ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Want to contribute to the show? 📧 hello@bartwalsh.com.au

  2. Stop Overthinking: Make the Next Right Choice (A Mindset Reset)

    Stop Overthinking: Make the Next Right Choice (A Mindset Reset)

    You know that feeling when your body is present, but your mind is stuck replaying old conversations, past mistakes, and the moments you wish you could redo? You’re making coffee in your kitchen, but mentally you’re back in 2019, re-living the regret, the awkward sentence, the choice you’d “fix” if time travel came with a receipt. That loop can feel like growth. Like you’re processing, learning, improving. But often it’s just overthinking, rumination, and negative self-talk wearing a productivity costume. In this self-development podcast episode, I share the one question that consistently pulls me out of an anxiety spiral and into momentum. It’s not hype. It’s not a grand epiphany. It’s a simple mindset tool that turns “stuck” into “moving”, especially when you feel lost, overwhelmed, or trapped in self-doubt. Why Your Brain Gets Stuck in the PastYour brain treats unresolved moments like open browser tabs. It keeps refreshing the same regret because the past feels certain. You can analyse it, rehearse different outcomes, punish yourself, and call it progress. But rumination steals your attention from what actually creates change: your next decision, your next conversation, your next small action. That’s where resilience and personal growth are built. The Question That Creates MomentumInstead of asking “Why am I like this?” or “How do I fix my whole life?”, here’s the question that cuts through overwhelm and overthinking: What is the next right choice? Not the perfect choice. Not the forever plan. The next right one. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why rumination and regret loops feel “useful” but keep you stuckHow to interrupt an overthinking spiral with a practical mental frameworkA simple decision-making tool to build confidence, self-worth, and resilienceHow small choices create big mindset shifts over time If you’re into mindset, self-improvement, resilience, and real-world tools you can use today, press play and let’s move forward one right choice at a time. ------------------------------------------------- Need a Keynote Speaker?

    The 5 Mindset Shifts I Use When I Feel Stuck

    Feeling stuck, even though you know what to do? In this episode, I share the 5 mindset shifts I personally use when I’m spiraling into old patterns and choosing short-term relief over long-term results. Because the issue usually isn’t motivation or discipline. It’s the lens you’re using to judge time, effort, success, and what you think you deserve. These aren’t dramatic reinventions or toxic “new year, new me” plans. They’re simple mental frameworks I’ve built through training thousands of people, building a career, becoming a father, and learning how to keep moving when life gets loud. The 5 mindset shifts:Life has seasons. Stop demanding peak performance in every chapter.Help isn’t weakness. It’s leverage. Get out of the “I should do this alone” trap.Build wealth from moments, not possessions. Chase what feels good, not just what looks good.End negotiations with yourself. Make consistency easier by building self-trust in tiny moments.Choose the next right choice. Progress without perfection, even after setbacks. If you’re capable in every other area of life, but can’t seem to stay consistent with yourself, this will help you break the loop and start moving again, one clean decision at a time. Listen now and pick one shift to apply today. --------------------------------------- Bart’s Website 🎬 Want to watch this episode? ⁠Youtube⁠ 💻 Follow Bart on socials: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok ⁠ ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Want to contribute to the show? 📧 hello@bartwalsh.com.au

  4. How To Design An Environment Of Success

    JAN 25

    How To Design An Environment Of Success

    Your environment isn't neutral, it's either training you or draining you. Most of us live on autopilot, letting our environment do the driving. We don't realize that our environment is either training us or draining us. The people around us, the places we spend time, what we consume, and what we make easy or hard, these elements are constantly molding our behavior, standards, and ultimately our success. When my wife Jane and I moved to the Sunshine Coast six years ago, we had to rebuild everything socially. That fresh start taught me something crucial: you don't accidentally end up around the right people. Your environment doesn't arrive like a delivery—you have to build it intentionally, just like resilience. The Four Pillars That Shape Your LifeThis episode breaks down the four pillars of environment curation that can make success feel inevitable rather than exhausting: People: The invisible thermostat of your life who shape your standards and what feels normal.Places: Your physical surroundings that give you instructions all day long without you realizing.Inputs: What you feed your mind—the content, conversations, and influences that become your inner voice.Friction: What you've made easy versus hard, because your life follows the path of least resistance. Why This Matters for Your LeadershipWhen your baseline capacity is low because your environment is working against you, you operate in survival mode. You react instead of respond. You rush, interrupt, and avoid difficult conversations. But when your environment supports your best self, you lead with presence and become someone people can trust. This isn't about becoming harsh or cutting people off, it's about understanding that respect and access are different things. You can care about someone while deciding they don't get front row seats in your life. What You'll Learn:1. How to evaluate relationships based on how you feel after spending time with people2. Simple ways to create "success corners" in your physical space3. Strategies for curating inputs that feed growth rather than chaos4. Practical methods for reducing friction around good habits5. How to handle the emotional resistance that comes with raising your standards Your environment is one of those words that sounds vague until you actually look at what it means in real life. Stop relying on inconsistent motivation and start building a life setup that makes your best choices easier to repeat. This episode will feel like a breath of fresh air if you've been exhausting yourself trying to willpower your way to success. ----------------------------------------------- Bart’s Website 🎬 Want to watch this episode? ⁠Youtube⁠ 💻 Follow Bart on socials: a href="https://www.instagram.com/walsh.fit/" rel="noopener...

    Stop Waking Up Tired: The Simple System for All-Day Energy

    Tired all the time? Especially when you wake up? Low Energy? mental fatigue? Firstly, me too! Secondly, let's explore why that might be... You know that feeling when your alarm screams and your body immediately votes "absolutely not" before your brain even boots up? You drag yourself through the day like you're operating with the handbrake on, wondering why you're so exhausted when you went to bed at a reasonable hour and aren't partying like you're 22 anymore. This crushing fatigue doesn't just ruin your morning, it follows you into every meeting, every conversation with your kids, every moment when you need to show up as the leader others depend on. In this episode, I break down the real reasons you're waking up drained and share practical strategies that actually work for busy people juggling leadership roles, parenting duties, and packed calendars. No weird tricks or unrealistic advice, just actionable solutions that fit into your chaotic reality. The Hidden Cost of Waking Up TiredMost people think tiredness just makes you sleepy. But when you're constantly running on empty, it taxes everything: your decision-making gets sloppy, your emotional control costs more energy, and you start reacting instead of responding. You become less you. What You'll Learn About Breaking the 'Waking Up Tired' CycleHere's what you can expect from this episode on reclaiming your energy: Why your circadian rhythm matters more than bedtime and how inconsistent wake times steal your edgeThe sneaky ways caffeine sabotages your sleep quality even when you fall asleep just fineHow modern overstimulation keeps your nervous system trapped in day mode when it should be recoveringSimple environmental fixes that can transform your sleep without major lifestyle overhaulsThe "revenge bedtime" trap and why that precious late-night "me time" might be costing you everything Practical Fixes That Actually WorkI share five game-changing strategies including the 60-second close your loops technique to stop that 2am thought spiral, the light before information morning routine that sets your entire day up for success, and how to create a 90-second downshift cue that signals your body it's time to recover. This isn't about becoming the perfect sleeper—it's about getting your energy back so your performance isn't being taxed all day by something you barely notice. Because great leadership, success, and fulfillment all have one hidden ingredient: capacity. The capacity to pause, listen, and respond well when it would be easier to snap or bulldoze. ----------------------------- Bart’s Website 🎬 Want to watch this episode? ⁠Youtube⁠ 💻 Follow Bart on socials: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok ⁠ ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Want to contribute to the show? 📧 hello@bartwalsh.com.au

  6. Dopamine Detox: Three Strategies To Reclaim Your Focus

    JAN 11

    Dopamine Detox: Three Strategies To Reclaim Your Focus

    We live in a world terrified of silence. Phone Addiction is something I too have fallen victim to, so in this episode of Built Resilient we are addressing just that, Phone addiction, screen time and dopamine detox. We live in a world terrified of silence. The moment there's a gap in noise, whether in an elevator, at a red light, or during a commercial break, our hands instinctively reach for our phones. We're feeding ourselves a constant diet of digital sugar, and just like junk food, it tastes good in the moment but leaves us starving for something real. I thought I was above this addiction. As the discipline guy, the mindset coach, I believed I was too focused and resilient to fall into the digital dopamine trap. But I was wrong. Realising this was one of the most important and frightening moments of recent months for me. This isn't just about screen time, it's about understanding the crucial difference between pleasure and joy. One is a cheap hit that vanishes the second you close an app. The other is a slow burn that makes life actually feel worth living. If you've been feeling restless, distracted, or just "off" despite doing everything right, this conversation will resonate deeply. The Biology Behind Our Phone AddictionWe use the word "happiness" to describe two completely different biological processes. Dopamine is the molecule of "more", it's anticipation, the chase for the next hit. Modern technology hijacks this system, leaving us empty and anxious when the spike crashes down. Serotonin and oxytocin represent true joy, the molecules of "here and now." This is contentment, connection, and peace. Joy doesn't spike and crash; it comes from activities that might seem boring to our dopamine-addicted brains: long walks, deep conversations, building something slowly with our hands. Breaking Free from the AlgorithmThe trap we're all falling into? We're trying to fill joy-sized holes with dopamine-sized snacks. We feel lonely, a need for connection, so we scroll Instagram for a dopamine hit. It's like drinking salt water when you're thirsty; you just end up thirstier. Your attention is your life. Whatever you pay attention to becomes your reality. What You'll LearnHere are the key insights you can expect from this episode: Understand the difference between dopamine pleasure and authentic joy and why confusing them keeps us trapped.Recognize the physical signs of digital addiction and how to notice your own patterns without judgment.Create strategic friction to break the automatic reach for your phone throughout the day.Implement the "look up rule" to reclaim those precious in-between moments of life.Choose analog activities that engage your hands and full attention for genuine fulfillment. This isn't about throwing your phone in the ocean or living off-grid. It's about stopping being used by technology and starting to use it intentionally. Because 2026 is going to be an enormous year—and you deserve to live it, not watch it through a screen. ------------------------------------------- Bart’s Website 🎬 Want to watch this episode? ⁠Youtube⁠ 💻...

  8. 2026 New Years Resolutions: The Method That Actually Works

    2026 New Years Resolutions: The Method That Actually Works

    This is a fresh take on new years resolutions. A shift in your mindset, helping you move from obligation to opportunity as you pursue your 2026 goals. Are you tired of setting New Year's resolutions that fizzle out by February? What if I told you the problem isn't your willpower, it's how you're looking at the finish line? For years, I avoided goal-setting entirely. I believed goals would trap me, close doors, and limit my potential. But last year, I ran an experiment that completely changed my perspective. I set just two simple goals—and not only did I crush them, but they became a source of perpetual motivation that surprised even me. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that transformed how I approach achievement and momentum. You'll discover why most people fail at their resolutions and how to build a roadmap for 2026 that's simple, achievable, and actually exciting to wake up for. The Problem with Traditional Goal SettingMost of us avoid setting specific goals because we're afraid of failure. We stay vague with statements like "I want to get healthier" or "I want to be better with money." But vague goals create vague results, and vague results create zero momentum. The truth is, you're not lacking capability or discipline. When we feel stuck, it's usually not a character defect, it's a lack of clarity and direction. Your brain is a heat-seeking missile that wants a target. Without one, it defaults to comfort, safety, or endless scrolling. A Simple Goal Setting Framework for 20261. Two Pillars OnlyStop trying to change everything at once. Pick just two areas of focus—maybe health and finance, or family and creativity. When you limit your focus, you increase your force. 2. Make It Stupidly SimpleInstead of "get a six-pack," try "move my body for 30 minutes, four times a week." Instead of "get rich," aim to "save $50 a week." Simple goals get done. Complex goals get procrastinated. 3. Progress Over PerfectionYour goal is a compass, not a judge. Focus on movement and momentum rather than perfection. If you miss a day, you haven't failed—you've just paused. Resume immediately. What You'll Learn:Why avoiding goals keeps you drifting instead of driving toward what you wantThe psychological shift that turns goals from pressure into permissionA simple framework for setting achievable targets that create lasting momentumHow to build consistency without overwhelming your nervous systemWhy starting small gives you permission to think bigger This isn't about fixing you—it's about focusing you. You already have everything you need to write a remarkable story for 2026. 🎤 Speaking Enquiries?
