    Louise Cramond on Change, Identity & Coming Home to Yourself | Ep.10

    What happens when you no longer feel like the woman you used to be? In Episode 10 of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews are joined by Louise Cramond for a deeply human conversation about change, grief, identity, menopause, emotional awareness, and coming home to yourself. Louise is a coach, holistic counsellor, Emotional Fitness Formula practitioner, and Extended DISC behavioural profiler who supports women, including women in business, to navigate change and growth without sacrificing their health and wellbeing. Through her own journey of relationship breakdown, death, grief, motherhood, relocation, rebuilding, spiritual development, and years of client work, Louise came to understand that life’s difficult seasons are not always signs that something is wrong. Sometimes they are invitations into transformation. This episode explores what happens when women feel overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or unlike themselves, and why these moments often ask for deeper self-awareness rather than self-judgement. We explore: • Why women may feel unlike themselves during major life transitions• Menopause as transformation rather than decline• How identity and values evolve through different life stages• Why partners, families, and workplaces must learn to grow with women through change• The role of grief, meditation, journalling, and spiritual practice• How Emotional Fitness and Extended DISC support self-understanding• Why healing often begins by returning to the love and wisdom already within you Louise also leaves listeners with a simple Gym Rep: Pause for Peace. Before awareness can emerge, we need to create enough stillness to notice what is happening within us. Pause. Breathe. Listen. That small moment can become the beginning of coming home to yourself. 🌸 Connect with Louise 🌿 The Sage Bloomhttps://thesagebloom.com.au au.linkedin.com/in/louise-cramond-52498319 https://www.instagram.com/the_sage_blooms 🎧 Follow the show for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔔 Subscribe 📲 Turn on notifications 🏋️ Join us as we train emotional fitness, 1 conversation at a time. 🤝 Connect With Us 🧭 Brent Lindsayhttps://www.trilateraldynamics.com ✨ Valerie Andrewshttps://www.ifeelawesome.org 🎙️ EFG Podcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    Miranda Packer on Values, Behaviour & Team Capacity | Ep.9

    It’s time to get your values off the wall and into behaviour. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews sit down with Miranda Packer to explore values, behaviour, team alignment, and the emotional capacity required to create healthier workplaces. Miranda is a team alignment coach, behavioural profiler, facilitator, and founder of Miranda Packer Coaching. Through her TAC model, Team Alignment and Capacity, she helps organisations move their values from the wall into practical behaviours people can understand, embody, and sustain in everyday team culture. This conversation opens up a grounded look at why so many workplaces struggle with values that sound good but are not truly lived. Miranda shares how values can become observable behaviours, how EDISC helps teams understand resistance and communication styles, and why leaders need to build behavioural flexibility if they want change to land. We explore: • Why values need to become visible behaviours• What happens when values are created but not embedded• How teams can move beyond blame, frustration, and misunderstanding• Why EDISC helps leaders understand how people respond to change• The role of perspective and meaning-making in emotional fitness• How self-leadership ripples into teams, families, and culture• Miranda’s simple gym rep: shifting from “I am frustrated” to “a part of me is feeling frustrated” This episode is a practical and human conversation for leaders, teams, and high-achieving people who want to communicate better, build capacity, and create workplaces where people feel seen, heard, and understood. 👥 Connect with Miranda:https://mirandapacker.com.au/homehttps://wordbirdcopy.com.au/\ https://www.instagram.com/mirandapackercoach Follow the show for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔥 Subscribe 🔥 Turn on notifications 🔥 Join us as we train emotional fitness 1 conversation at a time 🧩 Connect With Us Brent Lindsay - www.trilateraldynamics.com Valerie Andrews - www.ifeelawesome.org www.Facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    Daniel Burgess on Identity, Brotherhood & Why Men Wait Until Crisis | Ep.6

    A lot of men don’t change when they could. They change when they have to. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent & Valerie sit down with Daniel Burgess to explore identity, brotherhood, and the patterns that shape how men live, lead, and relate. Daniel shares his personal journey, including a life-changing accident at 19 and how it reshaped his perspective on limitation, resilience, and what human beings are capable of when they stop accepting the stories they’ve been living inside. This conversation opens up a deeper look at why many men wait until crisis to change and what becomes possible when they don’t. We explore: • Why men often wait until things break before they shift • The impact of suppressed emotion and internal pressure • Brotherhood and the importance of being seen without judgement • How adversity shapes identity and character • What it looks like to question and rewrite your story It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about seeing clearly what’s been driving you and choosing differently. 💪 Connect with Daniel: www.kinsmen.global facebook.com/kinsmenglobal instagram.com/leadingrein Learn about the Hero’s Journey Messaging Cards: thephoenixexperience.com.au 🔥 Subscribe for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔥 Turn on notifications 🔥 Join us as we train emotional fitness, 1 conversation at a time 🧩 Connect With Us Brent Lindsay - trilateraldynamics.com Valerie Andrews - ifeelawesome.org Facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    Melissa Duniam on Behaviour, Leadership & How You Show Up | Ep.5

    How you show up is often saying more than what you say. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews sit down with Melissa Duniam to explore behaviour, leadership, and the patterns that shape how we’re experienced by others. Because most people aren’t lacking intention. They’re lacking awareness. Melissa brings a unique perspective through her work in leadership development and equine-assisted learning, where feedback is immediate, honest, and impossible to talk your way around. Horses don’t respond to what you say. They respond to your state. This conversation opens up a deeper understanding of how behaviour is communicated beyond words & how tension, presence, and emotional state influence connection, trust, and leadership. It’s not about performing better. It’s about becoming more aware of what you’re actually bringing into the room. And once you can see it… you can start to change it. 🐴 Connect with Melissa: Leadingrein.com.au Instagram.com/leadingrein 🔥 Subscribe for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔥 Turn on notifications 🔥 Join us as we train emotional fitness, 1 conversation at a time 🧩 Connect With Us Brent Lindsay - trilateraldynamics.com Valerie Andrews - ifeelawesome.org Facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    The 5 Pillars That Actually Create Change | The Emotional Fitness Formula | Ep.4

    If you keep repeating patterns you thought you were past… you’re not failing. There’s something underneath it that hasn’t been seen clearly yet. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews introduce the Emotional Fitness Formula (EFF), a framework for understanding why patterns repeat, and how to start creating real change from the inside out. Because most people try to solve internal challenges with external strategies. More effort. More control. More pushing. It works… until it doesn’t. This conversation shifts the focus away from self-judgement and toward self-awareness, showing how identity, life stages, values, emotional flexibility, and perspective all shape how you live, relate, and respond under pressure. We walk through each of the 5 pillars of EFF, not just what they are, but how they show up in everyday life, where they can become misaligned, and what it looks like to bring them back into integrity through small, consistent actions. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about seeing more clearly, and responding with intention. 📌 Want to go deeper with this episode?

    Stop Misreading People: How I & S Styles Shape Connection (Extended DISC) | Ep.3

    A lot of disconnection isn’t a lack of care. It’s a lack of translation. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews continue the Extended DISC conversation, focusing on the I and S behavioural energies, the people and connection side of the model. Because even when two people both care about the relationship… they can still misread each other completely. One wants connection through energy, expression, and interaction. The other wants connection through steadiness, safety, and space. And under pressure, those differences can feel like rejection. This conversation breaks down how I (influence) and S (steadiness) see the world, how they communicate, what they need, and how they’re commonly misunderstood. More importantly, it gives you a practical way to stop misreading behaviour and start responding with awareness, so connection becomes easier, not harder. Extended DISC doesn’t label people. It gives you language to understand them. Want to go deeper with this episode?

    Stop Taking It Personally: How D & C Styles Create Friction (Extended DISC) | Ep.2

    Conflict isn’t always a values problem. Sometimes it’s a pace problem. A clarity problem. A mismatch in how people see the world. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews introduce Extended DISC through the D and C behavioural energies, not as labels, but as a way to understand patterns in behaviour, especially under pressure. Because most of what we take personally… isn’t personal. It’s different needs. Different pace. Different ways of thinking and deciding. This conversation explores how D (drive, speed, results) and C (precision, structure, accuracy) show up in real life... how they communicate, what they need, and how they’re often misread. More importantly, it gives you a practical way to reduce friction in your relationships, your team, and your day-to-day conversations, not by changing who you are, but by learning how to flex. Extended DISC doesn’t give you an excuse for your behaviour. It gives you responsibility for it. And that’s where real change starts.

    What Is Emotional Fitness? And Why It Changes Everything | Ep.1

    In this opening episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews introduce what emotional fitness actually means and why it matters now more than ever. This is not about being calm all the time, fixing yourself, or collecting more insight. It is about building the inner capacity to notice what is happening, regulate under pressure, and respond with more presence, responsibility, and self-leadership. You’ll hear why modern life leaves so many people informed but undertrained, how pressure reveals patterns, and why emotional fitness is something you build through small, repeatable reps. This episode sets the tone for the show: grounded, psychologically safe, practical, and real. You’ll leave with a simple self-check you can start using immediately to move from reaction to conscious response. 📌 Want to go deeper with this episode?
