Go In Courage Podcast

The Go In Courage Podcast is a long form conversation series focused on real people and real life. This is not a podcast about celebrities or perfect success stories. It is about everyday people sharing honest reflections on fear, growth, healing, and the moments that quietly shaped who they are today. Each episode is an unhurried, thoughtful conversation that allows space for depth, nuance, and meaning. These are the kinds of conversations you might have over a long walk or a coffee, where stories unfold naturally and insight comes through listening rather than soundbites. If you are drawn to authentic stories, personal growth, mental wellbeing, and the courage it takes to live with integrity, this podcast is for you. Join Rix Banga as he explores what courage really looks like in ordinary lives, one conversation at a time.

  "I was 15. It was an adult industry" | Natalie J on glamour modeling, Baywatch actress & reinvention

  Sep 20, 20261h 4mS6

  Natalie J joins me to talk about finding herself in an adult industry at just 15, the identity that was built around her, and the long journey toward reclaiming her own story. Natalie trained in ballet from a young age before her life changed dramatically as a teenager when modelling and national media attention arrived far earlier than she was ready for. What followed took her through glamour modelling, Los Angeles, Baywatch Nights, music videos, international travel and a world that often looked glamorous from the outside while internally she was still trying to understand who she really was. In this conversation, Natalie speaks openly about being 15 in an adult industry, the pressure of being defined by other people, changing her name, starting again in America, resilience, reinvention and the courage it took to keep moving forward. We also explore body image, fame, authenticity, relationships, spirituality, self belief and what it means to finally take ownership of your own story. Now a writer, Natalie reflects on how writing her memoir, Dark Star: A Child’s Body, a Photographer’s Obsession, a Media Frenzy , helped her reclaim a story that for years had been shaped by other people.

In this episode, Rix Banga welcomes fitness and ADHD coach Amie Barlow for an honest, funny and deeply personal conversation about autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, identity and reinvention. Amie shares her journey from professional dance and performing in the West End to building a successful career in fitness, online coaching and content creation. After growing her business quickly, she realised she had built it around somebody else’s model and that it no longer worked for her brain, energy or sense of purpose. Diagnosed with ADD at 11 and later diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult, Amie reflects on finally understanding herself without allowing those labels to become limitations. Together, Rix and Amie explore emotional regulation, anxiety attacks, childhood triggers, trauma responses, relationships, dopamine, intuition, faith, entrepreneurship and what it means to build a life around how your brain genuinely works.

  The Hero’s Journey: Why Transformation Feels Like Everything Is Falling Apart with Kat Smailis

  Jul 29, 20261h 31mS6

  Go In Courage Podcast Episode 54: When Your Old Life No Longer Fits: The Courage to Transform What happens when the identity you built your life around no longer feels like you? In this episode, Rix Banga welcomes Kat Smailis back to the Go In Courage podcast for a reflective conversation about identity, personal transformation and the courage to follow an invitation into the unknown. Kat shares why she stepped away from being known primarily as an intimacy therapist and entered a season of profound change. She explores the uncertainty of releasing an old identity without knowing what will replace it, and how her experience in Egypt became a defining turning point. Together, Rix and Kat unpack the hero’s journey, our resistance to uncertainty, the psychological death of an old self and what happens when your previous life no longer fits. Rix also reflects on loss, resilience and learning that courage is not always about enduring more pain. Sometimes it means treating yourself more gently while you heal. Looking to the hero's journey, using modern day stories such as Superman, The Matrix, The Alchemist and metamorphosis, they explore what it means to live from the heart and become who you are ready to be.
