ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of The Your Everyday Strength Podcast, Josh Sternberg sits down with Australian powerlifting champion Lily Riley for one of the most inspiring conversations of the season.
While many know Lily for her success on the platform, this conversation explores the experiences that shaped the person behind the athlete.
After overcoming cancer, Lily's perspective on life completely changed. Rather than waiting for the "right time," she began embracing every opportunity to compete, travel, challenge herself, and live with greater intention.
Together, Josh and Lily discuss what it means to pursue excellence while staying grounded in gratitude, resilience, and purpose.
In this episode we cover:
• Lily's journey through powerlifting and international competition
• How overcoming cancer reshaped her outlook on life
• The role discipline plays in long-term success
• Building mental resilience through adversity
• Managing anxiety by staying present
• Why sharing your story can change someone else's life
• The future of powerlifting in Australia
• The importance of community, sacrifice, and consistency
This is far more than a conversation about strength sport.
It's a conversation about perspective, courage, and making the most of every opportunity life gives you.
