The Resource
From Mining Sites to Mic Drops: Becky's Back.
Becky launched The Resource Podcast during the FIFO Inquiry to spark real talk about culture, mental health, and the hard stuff no one wants to touch. Think truth bombs, tough convos, and healing with humour.
Now she's back, flipping the script again. After 40 episodes and 15,000 mining crew later, the podcast is diving deeper into money stress, mindset shifts, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Expect raw chats, zero fluff, and life-saving honesty. If you've ever felt stuck, broke, or burnt out, this one's for you.
The hope is that listeners feel so supported, informed, and confident about these topics that you start and continue better conversations that create lasting change. This is a place that is made and supported by the people, for the people. A team effort where we unite to make a lasting change.

Mindset. From Gymnast to Ninja Warrior: Olivia Vivian on Joy, Grit & Failing Forward
Olivia Vivian is not just the first woman in the world to beat the men on Ninja Warrior, she’s also one of the funniest, most real, and inspiring humans you’ll ever meet.
In this episode of The Resource Podcast, Olivia and Becky get real about what it takes to chase big dreams, fall flat on your face (literally), and still get back up with a smile. They talk about grief, body image, public breakups, performance pressure, and finding your voice after years of being told you're too much or not enough.
With heart, humour and some very rogue trampoline fails, Olivia shares how she turned “you can’t” into “watch me.”
“You don’t win or lose, you win or learn.”
