Episode 1. Break the Mould!

In this episode, we’re joined by Isabelle Fielding, research and coaching psychologist, and Danielle Bodicoat, a statistician and social researcher.
Both embody a spirit of empowerment and together they tackle big challenges like homelessness and mental health in sport, blending innovation and evidence-based approaches to drive lasting change.
Known for their generosity in leadership and commitment to enabling others, Danielle and Isabelle don’t just challenge the status quo – they redefine it. In a refreshingly candid conversation, they open up about ‘imposter’ thoughts, balancing career with personal life, and how their backgrounds shape their perspectives.
Get ready for an inspiring discussion that promises to leave you motivated to swim against the tide!
