The Courage to Build Your Own Community | Opal

In this episode, I’m joined by Opal — a 27-year-old mother from New Zealand, rugby player, runner, and community-minded woman with a powerful perspective on growth, motherhood, fitness, and self-belief.Together, we talk about what it means to find yourself while raising children, how movement can become a healthy outlet through difficult seasons, and why community is such an important part of healing, confidence, and personal growth.Opal shares her journey of learning to ask for help, resting without guilt, choosing healthier coping mechanisms, joining rugby, and dreaming of creating spaces for other women and mothers to feel supported — from a mum-friendly home gym to a social run club.This conversation is about motherhood, identity, courage, failure, accountability, fitness, community, and the reminder that you don’t have to do life alone.Follow along for more conversations on growth, connection, community, and becoming who you’re meant to be.
