    “The Biggest Lie I Told While Running Around Australia” | Brooke McIntosh | Becky Felstead | The Resource Podcast

    Send us a text What happens when you run around Australia for mental health… while carrying a lie that nearly breaks you? In this raw and deeply moving episode of The Resource Podcast, host Becky Felstead sits down with Brooke McIntosh — the woman who ran around Australia to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. Brooke opens up about the darkest chapters of her life: living with suicidal ideation, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and the near-fatal car accident that became her wake-up call. She shares how one conversation changed the course of her life — and sparked a movement built on courage, truth, and connection. At the heart of this conversation is a moment Brooke calls “the biggest lie” — a truth she carried for months while running day after day, speaking about mental health, yet silently holding her own grief. When that truth finally came out, everything changed. This episode is honest, confronting, hopeful, and necessary. In this episode, we explore: The moment Brooke decided to run for something bigger than herselfWhat it really takes to speak up when staying silent feels saferWhy “Are you okay?” isn’t enough — and what actually helpsThe emotional weight of carrying unspoken griefHow small conversations can create life-changing ripple effectsChoosing courage over comfort, and truth over silenceIf you’ve ever felt like you had to pretend you were okay…  If you’ve ever carried something heavy in silence…  If you’ve ever wondered whether one conversation could really make a difference… This episode is for you. If this conversation brings up anything for you, please reach out to someone you trust or a mental health professional.

    The 3 Pregnancies I Never Had & The Lessons That Saved Me | Becky Felstead | The Resource Podcast

    Send us a text In this deeply raw solo episode, Becky Felstead courageously opens up about the three pregnancies that changed her life forever—two she chose to terminate because she didn’t feel “good enough” to be a mother, and one devastating ectopic pregnancy that forced her to face years of grief, shame, and societal pressure. At 39, Becky reflects on how rushing to meet timelines, fearing judgment, and tying her worth to being in a relationship led her to choices she now sees through the lens of healing. She shares the turning points that finally helped her release guilt, stop caring what others think, and trust that the right love—and motherhood—will come when she’s truly ready. This isn’t just a story about loss. It’s a powerful conversation about self-worth, radical responsibility, and why there’s truly no rush to hit society’s milestones. If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or terrified of being judged—this episode is your permission slip to slow down, choose yourself, and trust your timing. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts 🔔 Subscribe for weekly honest conversations that change everything 👋 About Becky Felstead | The Resource Podcast host Becky launched The Resource Podcast during the FIFO Inquiry to spark real talk about culture, mental health, and the hard stuff no one wants to touch.
