Lachie Donchi | Navigating the journey
<p>What happens when something you love becomes your identity and then you lose it?For Lachie, he grew up training to play cricket for Australia, until an injury completely changed his trajectory.</p><p>This conversation made me think about the things we hold close to us, how we allow them to become our whole identity, and what happens when itis suddenly taken away. He thought at 18, he would be at his peak, playing cricket and enjoying these years, but he was struggling through an ACL recovery and then found out his Dad had died by suicide. The years that followed were hard and led him to his own dark place. Struggling with his own suicidal thoughts, he realised something- you need to seek support, that you can’t expect someone to save you. After years of counselling and working through the trauma, he got into the police academy, later moving into fire management and reppel, discovering his love for the mountains and adventure. After completing his first ultra in Bright, he then signed up and completed the 231 km West Macs Monster last year. We spoke about the journey and the realisation that a lot of what you go through in ultras is what you go through in life. </p><p><p>“Just like training for an event, you can look back at the training you’ve done and have confidence in that; it’s the same with life: if you reach out to friends and do the things that help you, you can have confidence in those processes you have put in place too ”</p></p><p>Lachie has navigated himself out of dark places in life and the lows on the trails and isn’t afraid to show up. This conversation is a testament to how capable we are of getting through hard things and how much those times teach us and shape us. </p><p><p>“Put yourself in the arena and give it a red hot crack because you never know what is on the other side.” </p></p><p>This episode is real, raw and full of insight. Come along on the Explore Your Core journey as we explore the depth of human experience and find new ways to lean in and navigate unknown paths. If you want to keep showing up and seeing what’s on the other side, pave your own path and keep exploring; you’ve found the right place.</p><p></p><p><p>Thanks for being a part of Explore Your Core! </p></p><p>Until next episode, Explore Your Core </p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Rae Johnston | Making space to thrive
<p>When you’re not happy with how things are, when you’ve experienced burnout, when you don’t know any options- how do you make the space to thrive?There’s been a pattern in the conversations I’ve had- when people are in the spaces they thrive in, whether it’s a job they love or a passion they’ve pursued, people don’t seem to struggle with motivation or doubts quite the same. </p><p><p>“I’ve worked all sorts of jobs. I’ve spent 15 years in hospitality, I was a door-to-door vacuum salesperson at one point. I’ve worked triple shifts- in a cafe, a restaurant, then a nightclub. That’s hard. Cleaning toilets is hard. What I do now is not hard. So I think if I can get this far, I can keep going.” </p></p><p>It seems counterintuitive, but sometimes the creative career, the busy schedule, the high-intensity activities are actually what people thrive on. For Rae Johnston, TV presenter and radio host, she thrives from having a variety of tasks that require different skills and has the excitement of going from one thing to the next, and that’s what lights her up- doing work that is exciting and meaningful is what stops her from experiencing burnout. </p><p><p>“I think there was a lot of pressure, having to put yourself out there to generate clicks on your work. So the more open and vulnerable you were, the more attention you got and the happier your bosses were. And I think there comes a point where you realise you are selling yourself and selling your trauma in order to keep that career going.” </p></p><p>Something else that Rae mentioned, which I know holds true to me too is how important time in nature is. </p><p>“No one can email me. None of that exists while you’re out there. I need that time, that’s my processing time. That’s my time where I just think about life and what I’m doing and I sort out problems and come back with ideas” Time in nature can help you find a way back to yourself, give you clarity on your path and allow you to see if you are living aligned with your values.</p><p><p>“I think having an idea of who you are as a person and what you want to achieve and not compromising on that, even when it’s really hard. At any point, I could have chosen a path that would have got me higher paid jobs, more followers, options that I had but were paths that didn’t align with my values. And I could be far more successful than I am now but I would not have felt good about that in any way. ” </p></p><p>Staying true to her values now attracts people and projects that align because she’s held those boundaries. “Saying yes to everything should be about doing things that you might not be super experienced in but might scare you a bit, or you need to learn along the way. It shouldn’t be about things that compromise who you are as a person.”<strong>So I have a question to ask- what values are you guided by and is the path you are on, truly honouring these values?</strong></p><p>And when there isn’t a clear path that aligns with your values, well that’s when you have to pave your own. “I built my own network and own pathway in because noone had laid it out in front of me.” But that’s what Explore Your Core is here for- to help you build the resilience and find the courage to pave your own path, to find ways to do the things that light you up.

Cam & Elise | The Journey Calls
<p>We hear it’s good to be in the outdoors, but what does the outdoors really bring? I sat down with Cam and Elise, the founders of Zorali, to unpack more about the outdoors and the meaning behind the brand. </p><p>Zoran, the Persian word for fearless, and Kali, an African word for full of life, became the combined name, giving rise to Zorali, the outdoor brand designed for enthusiasts. We chat about creating Zorali, the community they built behind it and how they kept moving through the unknowns of starting a business. </p><p><p>“You start to recognise the feeling and the challenge, like ‘oh we’ve been here before, and I know we are going to get through this again.” </p></p><p>After diving into their journey starting the brand, what I took away was this: - The hard stays hard but with time you gain more confidence - Less is more- focusing on a few things when starting out worked better than providing everything all at once - The grass is always greener on the otherside, being aware of that is a great help</p><p>Getting into the outdoors impacts us more than we know on the mind, body and soul. It can be tricky to begin venturing into the outdoors but three things were shared to help: - Start small: Begin with something small like going for a swim or a walk outside- Find a friend: Doing it with someone else can make things easier, grab a friend before heading into the outdoors - Find an event: Having something you’re working towards or a goal can make it easier to get outdoors, and finding a community event can make it a super fun and exciting way to connect with other like minded people. </p><p>Follow the journey of Zorali on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/zorali/">socials</a>, jump over to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.zorali.com/">website</a> to check out gear and events and join the Outdoor Club <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/311178434550814">here</a> if you an outdoorist. </p><p>Until next episode,Explore Your Core</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
