Episode 017 - How to set goals and not allow yourself to have a victim mentality, with Turia Pitt

42 min • 13 december 2016

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia chats with the very inspirational Turia Pitt. Turia is not a single mother, nor a mother (yet), but she is someone who has been through a very traumatic experience and has turned her life around for the better.

In 2011, Turia was caught in a grass fire whilst running an ultra marathon and consequently suffered burns to 65% of her body. She survived against all odds, and since going through her recovery she has absolutely thrived in so many areas. She’s a humanitarian, a motivationalist, a speaker, an author, a blogger, an athlete, a recent IRONMAN, the NSW Premier’s Woman of the Year and a recent finalist for young Australian of the year.

In this episode we talk about how to not allow yourself to be a victim of life and how to keep yourself going in the tough times. A lot of this includes goal setting, which Turia teaches in her new online course, Turia's School of Champions. Turia also shares her favorite top tips for goal setting with us in this episode.

Turia also talks about her own relationship, and the positive things she has learnt from her parents.
