Get To The Top - And Stay There

With Jessica Spendlove

This is a podcast tailored for the driven high-performer, seeking growth and success both now and sustainably for future you, as well. Our aim is to guide you from feeling exhausted to energised with ease and enjoyment. Here, we will help you harness the power of nutrition, sleep, mindset, and other high-performance behaviours to achieve your goals, gain more energy, reach the top, and most importantly, stay there.

Drawing on the framework from her debut book, For the Long Run (out 29 July 2026), she introduces the five rhythms — nutrition, movement, stress and recovery, sleep, and connection — that your biology needs to run together to perform sustainably.
Dr Maria’s 28-year experience treating adolescents and adults spans across trauma, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, low self-esteem, parenting, relationships, and major life transitions.
As humans, our superpower is a good night’s sleep, and yet we don’t protect it as much as we should. Sleep fuels everything we do in our waking life and helps us recover when our eyes are shut.
If you are feeling flat, craving more, reacting more or getting sick more often, this episode will help you connect the dots and understand why sleep is one of the highest leverage behaviours you can focus on.
We unpack Dane’s unconventional path to the AFL, the years of rejection before being drafted, the mindset shifts that extended his career, and the lessons learned from four Grand Final losses.
If you are run down, getting sick often, or want to better understand how to protect your health in busy seasons, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.
