Using the Power of Possibility to Succeed; with Alexandra Andre

In todays episode we met with Alexandra Andre: a coach, runner, author, speaker, mum and all round inspirational human being!

She talked to us about her approach to running a marathon and an ironman, and what it meant to break through her own barriers and use the team around her to achieve her wild and crazy goals.

All of her lessons and learnings are applicable to business, life in general, or any specific goal.

It was a fabulous conversation!


Here’s a summary of what we discussed:

05:30 - her first big crazy goal

08:20 - the difference between the marathon and ironman

11:28 - her sense of purpose for running

17:00 - when the sense of purpose takes over

26:29 - how to embrace the setbacks

31:30 - the importance of having the team

43:56 - learning to trust the gut and our inner voice

46:37 - the importance of applying our learnings 

50:26 - the value of purpose, love and impact


And much more…


Enjoy!



Here’s some information about our guest:


Alexandra Andre

Marathoner, IRONMAN Finisher, Coach, Author, Speaker and Solo Mum.

Alexandra attributes a large part of her journey to her 1st Marathon because achieving it invited her to see the world for its possibilities. And to not let limitations (self imposed or otherwise) ever truly limit us.

She believes we are all more capable than we could ever imagine, and we owe it to ourselves and the world, to live our potential.

Her book, The Power of Possibility has been described as a must-read for anyone, but particularly runners and those with a big goal in mind.

About the Podcast

Mission Activated
Conversations and reflections on living your purpose and leading from alignment
Mission Activated is a podcast about living with purpose and leading from alignment.
Hosted by Aveline Clarke, founder of 6 Star Leaders, the show moves between two kinds of episodes: conversations with people doing meaningful work in their own way, and solo reflections drawn from her work coaching conscious leaders through what gets in the way and what's possible on the other side.
This isn't a podcast about hustle, performance, or scale at all costs. It's about the inner work that makes the outer work matter. Self-trust. Clean communication. Owning your part. Becoming someone others can safely navigate by.
If you're tired of leadership content that's loud and shallow, and you're looking for something quieter, more honest, and more useful, this is for you.
New episodes fortnightly. Stay aligned.
