This week’s mindful moment invites you into gentle, expressive movement with let your hands speak. Instead of using your hands for a task, take a quiet moment to move them freely—like they’re telling a story. Stretch your fingers wide, make soft fists, draw shapes in the air, or roll your wrists in slow spirals. Let your breath guide you.

There’s no right way to move—just a chance to feel what’s present and express it without words. It’s a simple yet powerful way to reconnect with your body, release tension, and invite a bit of creativity and calm into your day.

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.

From dodging school carnivals to smashing 400-mile races and getting married in cowboy boots – meet the unstoppable Bianca O’Neill.

In this fun and heartfelt intro episode, we kick off our monthly check-ins with Bianca as she prepares for the 2026 Delirious WEST 100-miler. But don’t be fooled – this isn’t her first rodeo (or ultra). She’s completed the 200-miler three times, earned both the 100 and 200-mile Triple Crowns, and even took on Laz Lake’s Heart of the South 400-mile journey run in the U.S. – a fully self-supported, make-it-up-as-you-go mission through six states.

Why does she keep coming back to Delirious? It’s the people. The community. The emotional finish line in Albany. And maybe… to complete her weird collection of mismatched thong/sandal/welly-boot trophies. 🩴👢

Bianca chats about: •Her unlikely transition from horses to triathlons to ultras •The powerful bond she shares with her mum (and frequent race partner) •Competing with her husband for Strava supremacy 😅 •How ChatGPT became her unexpected ultra coach •Balancing work, kids, and crazy-long runs (while planning a career shift!)

And yes—this year’s 100-miler is technically her “B-race.” The big one? Ball State in the U.S. next year. But first… the magic of Delirious.

In this deeply relatable and refreshingly funny episode, we meet Eve Knudson, a Perth-based mum of two, construction estimator, and two-time Delirious W.E.S.T. 200-mile finisher who still doesn’t quite think of herself as a “real runner.”

From making fake sick notes to skip athletics at school… to tackling 200 miles of rugged WA coastline—Eve’s story is full of unexpected turns, quiet grit, and big heart. She opens up about her mental health journey, how one awkward moment in a dress shop led her to triathlon (and eventually ultra trail), and why long runs are now her version of therapy, meditation, and freedom rolled into one.

We also chat: •💥 How running helped her ditch the meds and reclaim her energy •👷‍♀️ What it’s like working in a male-dominated construction industry •👟 Her reluctant love of early morning solo runs (and Netflix treadmill backups) •💪 Why strength training still sucks—and how she’s squeezing in 10-minute sessions anyway •🎯 Her goal to “just do the 100-miler without anyone pampering me” •💛 What keeps her coming back: community, starlit trails, and that unbeatable aid station vibe

Whether you’re training for something big or just trying to juggle life with laces on—Eve’s journey will hit home.
