In this solo episode, Becky reflects on a recent reel from The Resource Podcast that unexpectedly went viral — but not because of controversy or division.

The clip features Tim Sampson, Head Coach of the Fijian Rugby Team, sharing a powerful story about one of his players who showed up to training exhausted after holding down the roof of his family home during a storm in his village.

What followed wasn’t outrage or argument.

It was unity.

In this episode, Becky explores:

• The difference between viral hate and viral hope
• Why vulnerability connects us
• How division spreads… and how love spreads faster
• What this moment says about leadership, humanity and community

Because sometimes, the internet gets it right.

In this episode of The Resource Podcast, host Becky Felstead sits down with elite rugby union coach Tim Sampson for a raw, grounded conversation about leadership, loss, and what it really means to coach humans — not just athletes.

Tim’s career has taken him from the Western Force and Melbourne Rebels to now leading the Fijian Drua, but his philosophy has always stayed the same: values first, people first.

Together, they unpack:

• Losing his mum at 18 and a close friend on the rugby field
• How grief shaped his leadership and coaching style
• Making tough decisions — cutting players, delivering hard news, and leading through uncertainty
• Why “family” isn’t just a word on the wall
• Coaching high-performance teams under pressure — without losing humanity
• What working in Fiji has taught him about gratitude, culture, and joy

This episode is for anyone navigating leadership, pressure, grief, or responsibility — whether in sport, work, or life.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded when the stakes are high, this conversation will stay with you.

What happens when you run around Australia for mental health… while carrying a lie that nearly breaks you?

In this raw and deeply moving episode of The Resource Podcast, host Becky Felstead sits down with Brooke McIntosh — the woman who ran around Australia to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

Brooke opens up about the darkest chapters of her life: living with suicidal ideation, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and the near-fatal car accident that became her wake-up call. She shares how one conversation changed the course of her life — and sparked a movement built on courage, truth, and connection.

At the heart of this conversation is a moment Brooke calls “the biggest lie” — a truth she carried for months while running day after day, speaking about mental health, yet silently holding her own grief. When that truth finally came out, everything changed.

This episode is honest, confronting, hopeful, and necessary.

In this episode, we explore:

• The moment Brooke decided to run for something bigger than herself
• What it really takes to speak up when staying silent feels safer
• Why “Are you okay?” isn’t enough — and what actually helps
• The emotional weight of carrying unspoken grief
• How small conversations can create life-changing ripple effects
• Choosing courage over comfort, and truth over silence

If you’ve ever felt like you had to pretend you were okay…
If you’ve ever carried something heavy in silence…
If you’ve ever wondered whether one conversation could really make a difference…

This episode is for you.
