About

Sophia Parvizi-Wayne is an Elite 15 Hyrox athlete, tech founder, and has recently been listed in the Forbes 30 Under 30 — but in this episode, we go beyond the titles.


Sophia opens up about the reality of chasing high performance in more than one area of life, why true balance doesn’t really exist, and what happened when trying to do it all finally caught up with her on race day in Melbourne.


We talk burnout, identity beyond sport, making tough decisions, and why sometimes the strongest move is knowing when to pull back. This is an honest conversation about ambition, pressure, and learning how to show up again — in training, in work, and in life.
