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.

I Started Recording Under Blankets. Here's What I Know Now | Becky Felstead | The Resource Podcast
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We scroll. We compare. We wonder why we're not there yet.
But what if you're only seeing chapter 20 of someone else's story?
In this solo episode, Becky Felstead gets real about comparison — and shares the behind-the-scenes journey of The Resource Podcast that most people have never seen. From recording under blankets in a borrowed bedroom with no money and no audience, to a hiatus, a sponsor, a studio, and 25+ episodes in the last year alone. None of it happened overnight.
She also talks about the five-year road into public speaking, the anxiety she had to push through, and why she stopped waiting for someone to give her a stage and built her own.
