Fuel Radio is a conversational podcast hosted by Lewis Parkinson and Tom Kellett. It’s fitness, business, lifestyle, and current ideas, explored without the polish or the preachiness. More like the kind of conversation you want to be part of than something you’re being talked at. Honest, unfiltered, and easy to drop into. The sort of listen that fits a run, a commute, or background noise that actually holds your attention.
CHARLI GRACE: Burnout, Therapy and the Mind–Body Connection
Charli Grace is a somatic therapist, psychotherapist, breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher and reformer instructor who works at the intersection of movement and mental health.
In this episode we explore what somatic therapy actually is and why the body plays such an important role in how we process stress, burnout and everyday life. Charli shares her journey into the profession, how she moved from the movement world into psychotherapy, and how breathwork and somatic practices now sit at the centre of her work.
We also discuss burnout in modern life, what’s actually happening in the nervous system when people feel constantly overwhelmed, and why so many emotional experiences show up physically in the body.
Charli also opens up about what it’s really like being a therapist, the responsibility that comes with holding space for people, and how tools like breath, movement and awareness can help people reconnect with themselves.
If you’ve ever wondered why stress lives in the body, or how breathwork and somatic therapy can help regulate the nervous system, this episode offers a fascinating look inside the mind–body connection.

Cam Sheedy is a husband, father of three and a full-time fitness professional who somehow still finds the space to train for and run marathons. In this honest conversation, Cam pulls back the curtain on what that balance really looks like, from early mornings and family priorities to the pressure of showing up for others while managing his own struggles behind the scenes.
Cam also speaks openly about his experience with depression, how it has shaped him as a man, partner and dad, and how running became both an outlet and a lifeline. This episode is not about perfect routines or productivity hacks. It is about resilience, responsibility and finding a way forward when life feels heavy.
If you are juggling family, work and your own mental health, or wondering how anyone manages to keep going when things get tough, this conversation will resonate deeply.

SARAH STONELEY: Running Through Grief & 100km Ultras
In this powerful episode, Lewis and Tom sit down with ultra athlete and Dubai-based fitness instructor Sarah Stoneley. From completing brutal 100km races to surviving staged ultras deep in the jungle, Sarah shares what really drives her when things get dark, lonely and painful.
But this conversation goes far beyond endurance sport. Sarah opens up about losing her dad at just 15, the long shadow grief cast over her life, and how that loss shaped her identity, resilience and purpose. She speaks candidly about navigating trauma, finding strength in suffering, and learning to move forward without ever “moving on.”
This is an honest, emotional and deeply human conversation about pain, perspective and the fuel that keeps us going when motivation runs out.
Content note: This episode includes discussion of bereavement, grief and loss which some listeners may find distressing.
If you are carrying something heavy, this one will stay with you.

CHIARA PLINKE: She Came to Australia to Party… Breathwork Changed Everything
In this episode, we sit down with Chiara Plinke, a breathwork facilitator whose journey started like many backpacker stories do. Drinking most days, partying most nights, and constantly staying busy to avoid sitting with herself.
What looked fun on the surface was actually avoidance. Anxiety, emotional numbness, and a sense of being stuck quietly crept in.
Chiara shares how discovering breathwork forced her to slow down, feel again, and finally face the emotions she had been running from. We talk about the discomfort that comes with presence, the clarity that follows, and why breath is one of the most powerful tools for regulating the nervous system and reclaiming control of your life.
To top it off, Chiara guides us through a short breathwork teaser in the episode so you can feel the shift for yourself.
If you have ever used distraction, partying, work, or fitness to avoid what is really going on inside, this one will hit home.
🎧 Listen with headphones. Breathe along. Notice what comes up.

DYLAN LINDSAY: From Personal Trainer to Launching a Business
In this episode, we sit down with Dylan Lindsay, personal trainer and soon to be studio owner, as he opens up about his journey into fitness and what “training properly” actually means.
We talk through Dylan’s philosophy on exercise, the mistakes he sees people make in the gym, and how consistency and intent beat chasing trends. He shares what life really looks like as a PT, balancing coaching, training, and building something of your own.
We also get into the realities of opening a fitness studio with your partner, the dynamics it brings, the challenges you don’t see on Instagram, and why alignment matters just as much in business as it does in training.
If you’re interested in sustainable fitness, honest coaching, or what it takes to turn a passion into a business, this one’s for you.
Check out Dylan and his partner Jye's new studio, Rep Republic, launching soon: https://www.reprepublic.com.au/ (https://www.reprepublic.com.au/)

SEAN SALMON: "I ran 255km around a loop for 2 days on 8 minutes of sleep"
What does it actually take to keep moving when every sensible part of your brain is screaming at you to stop?
In this episode, we sit down with Sean Salmon, Lululemon ambassador and ultrarunner, fresh off one of the most mind-bending endurance efforts you’ll hear about.
Sean started a backyard ultra at 12pm on Saturday. He finished at 2am on Monday morning. In between, he covered 255km, running the same loop again and again, surviving on 8 minutes of sleep across two days.
We unpack what happens when fatigue goes beyond tired and into something else entirely. How the body keeps moving when logic disappears. The mental tricks that keep you in the race. The toll this kind of challenge takes on everyday life, relationships, work, and identity. And why someone would willingly put themselves through something so extreme in the first place.
This is a conversation about endurance, obsession, discipline, and where the real limits actually are. Not just in running, but in life.
If you’ve ever wondered how far the human mind can push the body, this one’s for you.

LITERALLY the World’s Newest Podcast
LITERALLY the world’s newest podcast, and yes, at time of publishing...
In our first episode of Fuel Radio, we talk about who we are, where we’ve come from, and the winding, imperfect paths that got us here. We get into life, work, training, relationships, and the decisions that paid off, along with the ones that absolutely didn’t.
We also look ahead to 2026, the habits we want to build, the things we want to be better at, and the New Year’s resolutions we’re actually willing to stand by.
Fuel Radio is about honest conversations, thinking out loud, and figuring things out in real time, without pretending we have it all worked out.
