S4E19 The Heart Behind Rhapsodic: A Season 4 Reflection & Wrap Up
In the final episode of Season 4, instead of hosting, I’m interviewed by Kylie as we pause to reflect on the season and the heart behind the conversations I’ve shared with my guests.
This season explored running, mental health, identity, motherhood, healing, and growth through honest, vulnerable stories. This episode is a gentle closing moment - a space to look back on what stood out emotionally, what surprised me, and what I hope listeners carry with them.
We also talk about inspiration, the power of imperfect conversations, and what I’m taking forward into the next season and into my own life.
Thank you for being part of Season 4. 🤍

S4E18 An Identity Shift Through PTSD, Pregnancy & Endurance Sport
I’m joined by Jade Palmer - an endurance athlete and host of the Fitness With Jade podcast, who is currently navigating pregnancy while continuing to use movement and training as tools for emotional resilience and self-trust.
Jade’s journey took a major shift after working in the police force, when a serious workplace incident led to PTSD and forced her to step back and re-evaluate how she was coping, who she was outside of her career, and how she wanted to move forward - including stepping into her feminine energy after years in a predominantly male industry.
We talk about navigating family law, parenting through stress, identity shifts, and the role fitness has played in helping her rebuild confidence and stability. We also touch on her passion for endurance sport, both Hyrox and half Ironman training, and how her own podcast became an extension of her healing and growth.
Now pregnant, Jade shares how training and goals look different in this season, and the importance of adapting expectations while continuing to use movement as a tool for managing mental health.
This episode is about more than fitness, it’s about learning to trust yourself again, adapting to new seasons of life, and finding strength in places you didn’t expect.

Beck Thompson from The Relationship Circle returns to Rhapsodic Podcast almost four years after her first appearance.
This episode focuses on the inner work behind healthy relationships. We explore attachment styles, especially anxious attachment - where it comes from, the childhood beliefs that shape it, and how it shows up in dating and long-term relationships. We talk about blurred attachment patterns, the importance of repair after arguments, expressing needs clearly, and how unlearning old patterns creates space for healthier connection.
Beck explains why emotional regulation isn’t about suppressing feelings, but learning how to stay present and grounded inside them.
This conversation is about self-awareness, healing, and learning the skills that allow relationships to feel safer, calmer, and more secure - including the message that you are worthy of secure, healthy love.
