Turning Trauma Into Power: How She Rewired Her Mind & Body for Success & High Performance
About this episode
Lhea shares her journey of transforming childhood trauma into strength and high performance through mindset tools.
Most people don’t realise how deeply childhood trauma and self-doubt shape our sense of belonging… —and how that quietly impacts the life we go on to create. In this episode of Becoming Lucy , we sit down with Lhea — HYROX athlete, ambassador, and coach — who shares how she transformed grief, fear, and disconnection into real strength. Growing up around abuse and alcoholism, and losing her mum at just 21, Lhea’s early life was shaped by survival — not self-belief. She opens up about the fear of being seen… and how it kept her playing small, even when she had so much more to give. But everything changed when she stopped avoiding the pain — and started facing it. We explore the powerful truth that the body holds onto trauma … and how learning to feel, process, and rewire that pain can completely transform your life. Lhea shares the exact mindset tools that helped her heal and perform at a higher level, including: • Visualisation techniques to shift identity and belief • Learning to sit with and process physical sensations in the body • Rewriting the internal stories around worth, capability, and belonging In just 8 weeks, she shaved 8 minutes off her HYROX time — not by training…
