Ryan “R-Willy” Williams is one of the most influential action-sports athletes of his generation. From being mocked for riding a scooter to winning X Games gold, creating world-first tricks and completely changing what people believed was possible on both a scooter and BMX, Ryan has taken his sport to another level.

But behind the tricks, records and fearless image is someone who has spent his life learning how to understand fear without allowing it to take control.

In this episode, Ryan opens up about where his relentless drive comes from, the mindset required to attempt the impossible, overcoming crashes and self-doubt, handling pressure and maintaining his love for the sport.

He also shares how becoming a husband and father has changed his relationship with risk, responsibility and what truly matters. This is an honest conversation about fear, sacrifice, identity, fatherhood and the person behind R-Willy.

In this episode, I sit down with Georgie Giovannoni for a raw conversation about the experiences that shape who we become. We explore the lasting impact of family trauma and childhood experiences, and how the stories, wounds, and patterns we carry can quietly follow us into adulthood.

Georgie opens up about her own mental health journey, navigating misdiagnoses, relationships, self-discovery, and the ongoing process of understanding herself on a deeper level. We also dive into connection — our relationship with ourselves, with others, and what it means to feel truly seen and understood. This is a conversation about healing, identity, growth, and finding your way back to yourself when life pulls you in different directions. A thoughtful and vulnerable conversation that I know will resonate with so many people.

This week on Mind Your Head, I sit down with Thomas Baulch, better known as Prime Train.A lot of people see the discipline, the physique, the confidence and the life he’s built online — but this conversation goes way deeper than that.We spoke about the pressure of always feeling like you need to keep pushing, the mental side of discipline, burnout, identity, rock bottom moments and the parts of life people don’t always see behind social media. Thomas opened up about the turning points that shaped him, the internal battles he’s faced, and the ongoing work it takes to stay grounded while building something big.This wasn’t just a chat about fitness or success. It became a really honest conversation about being a man, mental health, self-awareness, relationships, purpose and learning how to face yourself instead of running from things. An honest, real and important chat that I think a lot of people will connect with.

In this episode of Mind Your Head, I sit down with Tainui Kaihau for a real conversation about what it takes to keep going when life gets heavy — and how you rebuild yourself on the other side.

Tainui opens up about the darkest parts of his cancer journey: the fear, the mental battle, and the moments that tested him most. We talk about how he stayed mentally strong through it all, and how it shaped the mindset he lives by now — determination, perspective, and a drive to live life to the fullest and inspire others along the way.

We also get into sobriety and what changed when he stopped numbing things, the simple habits that keep him steady, and what it’s like learning to love and be loved while you’re still healing.

Tainui shares how he stays authentic with an online presence, deals with negative comments, protects his peace, and keeps grounded when the internet gets loud. With his fiancé now pregnant, we talk fatherhood — the kind of dad he wants to be, the home he wants to create, and the values he wants to live by going forward.

And we dive into his 100km charity run for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a cause close to his heart that supported him and his family during cancer — proof of what’s possible when purpose is bigger than pain. Tainui is one of the most positive, uplifting humans I’ve had the pleasure of talking to, and that energy is infectious. If you need perspective, motivation, or a reason to keep showing up, this one will land.

Saavanah is someone who’s always been driven — the kind of person who shows up, keeps moving, and gets on with it. But behind that strength has been a real internal battle that a lot of people would never pick.

In this episode of Mind Your Head, Saavanah takes us through her upbringing, the moments that shaped her sense of self and the ways food and exercise became wrapped up in perfectionism, anxiety and the need to feel in control — even when everything looked fine from the outside.

We talk about the reality of looking “high-functioning” while silently struggling, what self-doubt sounds like when it follows you everywhere and the turning points that forced her to start choosing herself. We also touch on what it’s like to live in a world where you’re constantly perceived and how that can feed the need for approval, perfection and pressure.

This is a honest conversation about identity, self-worth, recovery and learning to be kinder to yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting battles quietly, this one will land.
