82. NEW SEASON ALERT We Can Do Hard Things - Chelsey's story of Small Steps and BIG Goals

We’re kicking off Season 5 with a story that proves you never really know where one small “yes” will lead.

Meet Chelsey, Mum, PE teacher, and health and fitness enthusiast. After months of lockdown and life feeling… a bit like ground hog day, she felt the nudge to do something purely for herself. That first “yes” was simply walking into a gym and that’s where the journey began.  

From there a snowball of yeses led her to an incredible opportunity of being involved in Hyrox a global fitness race for all ages and abilities and curiosity got the better of her.

Soon Chelsey was competing in Hyrox events, learning new skills, training consistently, which finally led to her BIG yes, flying overseas to compete in a doubles event, a dream she didn’t even know existed just months earlier.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Injuries, sick kids, and the constant juggle of motherhood made the road to her big yes anything but easy. But she discovered the power of the statement, “We can do hard things” a mantra that kept her going and one that you can now hear often in her own household.

The real surprise? The ripple effect. Chelsey’s YES became a family investment, a shared goal, and an inspiring reminder of what’s possible when you create space for yourself.

In this episode, we talk about the power of small yeses, the challenges no one sees, and the incredible personal and family growth that can come from one woman deciding she’s worth the investment.
