Go In Courage Podcast

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Rix Banga is joined by business and mindset coach Ollie Olds, whose journey spans elite sport and Rugby League World Cup to identity loss, injury, anxiety, and ultimately, purpose.
Ollie shares what happens when an entire sense of worth is tied to performance and what it takes to rebuild a life when that identity collapses. From multiple career-ending injuries to crippling anxiety, broken relationships, and a loss of direction, this episode explores what forced him to stop pushing, start listening, and redefine what success truly means.

In this episode of Go In Courage, Rix Banga is joined by content creator and digital marketer Maria Bourne for a deep and honest conversation about self-awareness, self-trust, and the kind of courage it takes to choose yourself when a relationship is no longer healthy.
Maria shares the most courageous moment of her life, making the decision to end her marriage, and opens up about the fear, the identity shift, the aftermath, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild. Together, they explore how childhood experiences shape self-worth, why we sometimes escape reality through distraction, and how personal growth begins when you stop avoiding what you already know.
This episode is an invitation to turn your gaze inward, build a trusting relationship with yourself, and take small, consistent steps toward the life you truly want, even when it’s messy, even when it’s scary.
