What do you do when the thing that makes you you is suddenly gone? For Britt Furlanis, the answer took fifteen years to find.

Britt grew up competing in showjumping before walking away at 15. What followed was a corporate career in gas trading, bodybuilding competitions, and years of high performance that masked a quiet truth she wasn't ready to face. In 2023, she left it all behind, moved to a property in Queensland, and went all in on her dream of becoming a professional showjumper and Olympic gold medallist.

This conversation is about identity, resilience, and what it really takes to go after something you buried a long time ago. It is also one of the most honest episodes we have had on 4TG.

In this episode, we cover:

• Losing your sporting identity and what the recovery really looks like
• How Britt used gratitude journalling at fifteen to pull herself through a dark period
• Her experience with binge eating and bulimia during the transition to university and corporate life
• Leaving a successful corporate career to pursue an Olympic dream in showjumping
• Rebuilding a relationship with failure and why she now treats it as data
• The fear of voicing your goals out loud and who you should tell first
• Navigating friendship groups when your ambitions outgrow your environment
