Roll With The Punches (Tiffanee Cook)

In a previous episode one of my guests spoke of the importance of rupture and repair in relationships and friendships. It's something I found incredibly insightful and have since discussed quite a bit... Here's an episode on just that!

How often do we silently reprimand ourselves for not shaping up to some elusive ‘standard’ we observe in other people? And what’s the cost of this silent yet equally all-too-loud internal narrative of ours? Maybe it’s time to reflect before we trip ourselves up…

Oi, you over there... Get off the bench!!

That's what this weapon Kerryn Vaughan is all about. Getting bums off the bench and inspiring action and human potential. We got along like a house on fire and her energy and attitude is infectious. Growing up as a musician, making a little noise is something that comes naturally to Kerryn and these days she's using her vocal talents to inspire, educate and coach others to live their purpose.

We talk about life, loss, laughter and music... and yep, I've got a new friend :)

I'm in the middle of a sh*tstorm. What in the sh*tstorm is fantastic?

It takes a certain someone to have that type of attitude amidst the chaos. And chaos is precisely where 'Chief Habit Scientist' Tamsin Astor has found herself at times in her life. 

She's a PhD not-doctor, a yoga teacher, a mother, and a force of optimism, resilience and joy, who today shares her journey through her two year old's cancer diagnosis, the loss of a very close cousin to Leukemia and how she's navigated highs, low's and everything in between. 

I dare say, you're going to LOVE Tamsin.

In this episode, Kelly Humphries shares her powerful and deeply personal journey. Opening up about her experiences as a survivor of child sexual abuse, she reflects on the challenges she faced and overcame.
The unfortunate reality is that in Australia, almost 30% of people experience sexual abuse by the age of 18. Our conversation delves into the complexities of building friendships and maintaining relationships while grappling with past trauma. Kelly also discusses her former career in the Queensland police service, highlighting the impact of her work on her mental health and her eventual transition into advocacy and support for other abuse survivors. The episode touches on important topics such as creating safe spaces for conversation, understanding the nuances of trauma response, and the importance of self-compassion and healing.
Kelly's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of speaking one's truth. I chime in with some of my insights and experiences and aim to ask Kelly questions that can empower survivors, allies, and parents not to feel like they need to grapple with these experiences swamped in shame, silence, or isolation.

You know what everyone seems to want lately... Better energy. Better performance, better health, better metabolism, better recovery, better sleep. The list goes on. Well, buckle up because today's guest is Dr. Eric, The Fitness Physician.  And would you know it, Dr. Eric is a health and performance optimisation physician who's all about helping people optimize their metabolism, health, and hormones so they can live a life full of energy, strength and vitality...  BOOM!

I pick his brains about what we can do without spending a dollar to get all these things heading in the right direction and then I get some tips on what we might be doing or supplementing that's a waste of time and money and thus what Dr. Eric recommends when it comes to supplements.

'We're all dying from the moment we are born.' It's the truth, but a truth we never really acknowledge or contemplate. I never could have imagined how much I was going to love this conversation with Stephen Jenkinson. He's a philosopher and a wordsmith, a deep-thinker and an articulate communicator, and he has a way of weaving linguistic magic that took my mind into places it loves to go. 

We talk about death and what it means to die. How we wrestle with fear of it and thus in the process of which, do we truly live? As humans we are tiny, fleeting and somewhat insignificant on this earth... What happens if and when we make peace with this concept? Or can we make peace with it at all?

RWTP’s favourite Cappuccio is back in the hot seat with me today. Ya'll know how much I love a banter with Bobby and I know I’m not alone cos you guys tell me you do too. 

I've been quite the drama queen lately!  Nah seriously... I signed up for an improv workshop (and yep, that terrified me) and given that Bobby was the person to essentially introduce me to it I was eager to unpack some of my excitement about my experience so far and how relatable so much of it is in life in general.

This conversation got me somewhat fired up a number of times. The way humanity has evolved around offering support (or more often than not lack thereof) to homeless humans, foster children and people in need.

Theresa Mitchell was a single mum who fled her own DV (domestic violence) experience and couldn't ignore those who needed help. Being told it was far too dangerous for a single mother to be getting involved with might have put slowed her getting started but it sure didn't stop her.  Agape Outreach was born and wow has Theresa and her organisation made waves in changing peoples lives. She has personally taken in 37 intensive-needs foster children over 6 years, something that shows incredible empathy and selflessness to her cause. 

I love this woman and the work she is doing. Enjoy!

Betty Grisoni didn't 'run away' from herself... She ran herself away. There's a huge difference. In our conversation she Betty says 'I killed myself' but not in the the way it sounds (although if not for her dog, this too was close to her reality). By this she means that she shed 70kg body fat, and with that shed the version of herself that she no longer chose to be. From a place of being severely depressed and physically, mentally and emotionally unhealthy, she laced up her runners and transformed her life.

This year Betty completed her first ultra marathon, a 50km event. Still not calling herself an athlete as she gears up for her next 100km milestone she is one hell of an inspiration.

From working with Mother Teresa to filmmaking in Afghanistan. 

If you're a loyal RTWP listener then you're more than aware of my love for first responders and paramedics. And... you're more than aware of my tendency to address them publicly and privately as 'superheroes'. 

Benjamin Gilmour is an Ambulance paramedic with 24 years frontline experience in Australia and internationally.  He shines a new light on this 'superhero' label of mine. 

He is also an author, a film-maker and an insightful human who I hunted down with my stealth-like stalking abilities, as I do. 

Ben has produced anti war films in countries abroad, under circumstances that fascinate me.  With his career insights and his desire to draw human empathy from the most unlikely of places, this chat is one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Enjoy!

Today's episode is a co-shared episode from Mike Drohan's 'Doing Epic Stuff' podcast.  I enjoyed it, I hope you do too :)

Welcome to the Doing Epic Stuff podcast with your host; Mike Drohan. Together we’ll explore the stories and journeys of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. “No one is going to wear or throw a punch for you. No one does it in a boxing ring and no one does it in life.” - Tiffanee Cook To underestimate Tiff would be a mistake. Under that ‘laid back Aussie’ demeanour and infectious giggle lies a weapon-of-a-human who has bested others in pursuit of ‘the sweet science’ otherwise known as boxing. Once a self-professed introvert with a ‘I could take it or leave it’ attitude toward fitness and her corporate career – when Tiff made a spur-of-the-moment decision to join a 12-week boxing challenge that required participants to fight in an actual professional event upon completion, she effectively switched off cruise control. Frenzied crowds. Bright Lights. Blood spilled. The whole 9 yards… Having experienced the thrill of the fight, boxing quickly became everything to Tiff. With a massive commitment to the sport came massive positive change in her life: The courage to launch her own multifaceted business; Tiffanee and co. (yes; a tongue in cheek play on the American luxury jewellery retailer of the same name..) The confidence to produce and host her own highly successful podcast: Roll With The Punches An ambassadorship with Code 9 Foundation: who provide support for professional first responders and phone operators living with PTSD and other debilitating mental health conditions. But not all change is considered ‘good’ in the world of boxing. Toughness and grit are each seen as assets and showing weakness of any nature; a potential threat not just to your career but your safety in the ring. Boxing, seemingly, had bestowed upon Tiff the gift of courage. Courage to confront past childhood trauma long since repressed, but once that emotional pandoras box was opened would she ever be the same fighter in the ring? Join Tiff and I as we explore active serendipity, the habits of an individual who is living her extraordinary and much more on this episode of the Doing Epic Stuff Podcast.

I met Meg Foreman in the dog park...  where all good friends meet.  One day she went back home for a 'holiday'.  She was gone quite a while, in fact.  Returning a couple of months later yet, little did I know Meg had taken off for brain surgery.  Yet, little did I know Meg had digested the words of Dr Charlie Teo that told her quite clearly that this surgery was high risk and if he ran his surgical knife a mm off course inside her skull then she would quite simply 'bleed out on the table and die'.

Meg left for her supposed holiday (or so I thought) with a contingency plan in place... in case that happened.  But after 7 years of misdiagnosis and countless, often useless medication it was a reward that made that 'risk' pale in comparison.

What I love about this chat is how even I, right now as we sit recording this, didn't really know how serious, how recent, how confronting and how challenging her recovery was.

We laugh a lot.  She's a soft, genuine, empathetic dog-mum that underneath it all holds a level of strength and courage that is sending goosebumps across my skin as I write this of her.  Thanks Meg for sharing your story for the first time on my far-from-private forum.

Despite the title (which will make sense when you listen), there's no nightmare to be found here... well, maybe Ben Plunkett has danced around the edges of what you may call a nightmare or two along the way. But like most difficulties in life (in my opinion), each of his have brought about a shiny side with meaning and purpose.

In this chat we meander through an array of topics ranging from business and entrepreneurship to mental health and getting punched in the face by life, and of course we ponder questions such as 'do we find our purpose or does it find us?'

Ben isn't just the teller of remarkable tales, he's the liver of them too - sharing just some of those with me today. The most recent of which is the birth of his very premature and somewhat impatient new champion son, Pheonix who came bursting into the world at the all-too-soon 23-week mark. 

If you're down with hearing lessons, insights and perspectives from someone with his feet firmly planted on the ground yet his sights set sky high, then you're going to love listening to Ben.

This episode is a pretty casual turned deep and meaningful banter between Harps and I. It’s fair to say I wasn’t having the most amazing day when I logged on to record our planned episode, so we threw away the plan and decided to just go with it and see what rolled out… and you know my well enough by now to know that plenty rolled out.

Sergeant Mark Thomas, member of Victoria Police and founder of The Code 9 foundation is back in the hot-seat with me today. 

We first spoke with him back in episode 41 as he shared his harrowing journey through PTSD and the incident his doctor deemed a catastrophic loss of self.  Mark continues to manage his mental health injury and through the foundation and his ability to open the door on conversations like the one we have today, Mark is making waves around creating awareness, education and avenues of support for first responders.

We discuss Marks experience with suicidal ideation today so naturally, listener discretion is advised and it these conversations bring anything up for you as a listener please reach out for the relevant support, the Code 9 community may be a great place to connect.

Negotiation... it’s a skill we all need, but let’s be real, most of us aren’t born with it. That’s why today, we’ve brought back our go-to expert, Nicole Davidson, to dive into the fine art of negotiation, conflict resolution, and managing the tricky balance of egos and emotions.

In this ep, Nicole and I get down to the juicy stuff: the psychology behind negotiation, why your emotions (and theirs) can make or break a deal, and how knowing when to walk away might be your best move.

My interest was piqued with her newest service - think of her as Judge Judy for small business disputes - giving a low-cost solution to avoid the courtroom while still getting things done. We even delve into the rise of AI in negotiations (ummmm yep, you might be negotiating with a bot and not even know it!).

Whether you’re dealing with a business partner, negotiating a deal, or just trying to navigate daily conversations, Nicole’s insights will leave you thinking differently about the power of curiosity, listening, and asking the right questions.

Do you ever consider the frequency of your food? I don't mean how often you consume food, rather the vibrational frequency of the food you're consuming. It might seem like a weird concept at first, but as we dive into the conversation with Serena Poon, you might just find (as I did) that it's a valid consideration given how much we know nature and our environment impacts our wellbeing. 

Serena is a Celebrity Chef, Reiki Master and a Certified Nutritionist who has explored what lay at the intersection of these things. Her own story through her two parents' cancer battles and Serena's own lengthy and life-threatening brush with MRSA gave her plenty of opportunity to explore food and healing frequencies on the body. 

This is a unique chat on a well-covered topic that I can safely say may just have you thinking about food from a whole new perspective. Enjoy!

Today’s episode is a doozy. I’ve got Terry Tucker on the mic, and if you think you’re about to hear just another life story, think again. Terry has indeed been through the ringer...  from years on the police force to facing a rare and relentless form of cancer that just wouldn’t quit. But true to form, nor would Terry. He’s still here, still living his best life, and he’s got one hell of a perspective on what it means to live fully, face fear, and redefine resilience.

From the highs, the lows, and those gut-check moments where he had to choose between giving up and pressing forward, Terry opens up about how cancer has actually made him a better human, why he’s glad he never let go of his dreams, and how he’s found a way to put more good into the world than he ever thought possible. He talks about legacy, about emptying yourself into the world, about leaving things a little better than you found them. This is deep stuff that you and I love, and I promise, it’ll get you thinking.

"Being in prison made me a better person." - Kerry Tucker

Not the words you'd expect from someone who left two very young daughters on the outside and spent 5 years in maximum security prison, right? Well, Kerry Tucker, once known as prisoner 171435, is far from what you'd expect in many ways. She's someone who for 5 years, imprisoned with some of Australia's most notorious female inmates.

Despite the environment, the stigma, and the suffering that comes with being a mother who was forced to face her fate in prison and abandon her young girls in the process, Kerry took the cards she was dealt and made sure she made amends with her destiny. 

From the day of her release, with a Master of Arts degree in hand, Kerry walked into a job with Swinburne University (I know, right?!) and has since attained a PhD, contributed to the script writing for Wentworth season 1 and dedicates herself to being an advocate for educating women in prison. 

A true beacon of hope for those who think they cannot turn their life around.

Lisa Tamati, much like myself, doesn't do things by halves.

She has raced 2,250km races.

She has ran a race for 64 hours straight (sure breaking my get-8-hours-sleep rule).

She has even crossed the unchartered-by-civilians Lybian Desert.

All in the name of 'fun' might I just add.

Lisa shares my intrigue and curiosity around the extreme lessons that extreme sports teach us about ourselves.

As an Athlete, Coach, Business Woman, Author, Speaker and Podcast Host, Lisa is somewhat of an expert in performance, mindset, physiology, anti-aging, alternative treatments, biology, epigenetics and bio-hacking.

Today we talk about a lot of these things, covered in parts of her own journey as an endurance athlete and as the daughter of an ill mother who's care Lisa took from the medical world and into her own hands, with incredible results.

There is so much to learn from this chat, you're going to want her back... don't worry, so do I.

Another Sunday, another Bobby extravaganza. This week we are talking about who's your one? Nah, I don't mean 'the one'... that's a whole different conversation and clearly one you don't need the likes of MY rogue advice around. 

Who's your 'one' in terms of your message. Who are you speaking to? Who needs your words, insights and perspectives? In a world where Instagram likes, public accolades and vain popularity feeds our starving egos, how often do we reflect on who it is that we are aiming to reach and impact in our work?

We also talk about the whole New Years resolution thing, because well, it's almost that time... Be rude not to hey! What's the deal with days of the week having such a hold over our ability to start or not start things... Why do we think this Wednesday is familiar because we've called thousands of previous days a Wednesday too??

Four years ago, Nick Reid was on the podcast recovering from a brain tumor, facing a 50/50 survival rate. Now, he’s back... and life has thrown even more brutal punches his way. A marriage breakdown, the devastating reality of parental alienation, and a legal system that makes it near impossible for good dads to stay connected with their kids.

We talk resilience, mental health, and what it means to keep showing up when everything feels stacked against you. Nick shares raw truths, hard lessons, and why he refuses to let this battle break him.

This one’s real, raw, and a must-listen for anyone navigating life’s toughest blows.

There's having goals. There's a plan to achieve those goals. There's actually taking action and moving towards those goals. Then, there's life, priorities, expectations, circumstances, obligations, sacrifices, relationships, families, grown-up stuff and perhaps even a little people pleasing that all gets thrown in the mix.

Next minute our 'plan' is a mess, we are frustrated, demotivated and likely a little bit resentful towards both ourselves for not hitting out target and towards others for getting under our feet. 

So, how the hell do we manage ourselves, our goals, our life and our priorities?

I dunno... Let's ask Harps!

If you’re an Aussie listener you’re likely familiar with Sophie Scott our resident ABC TV & Radio Medical Investigator & Journalist. 

Sophie is dedicated to bringing evidence-based information on health, psychology and sappiness to the forefront. She has authored two books, Live Longer and Roadtesting Happiness and today she is sharing her experience and around burnout… Yep, I imagine with the year and a bit we’ve all had this topic might pique the interest of one or two of you!

We talk about what burnout is, how it feels, ways you might recognise it creeping up on you.  We talk about strategies for recovering and preventing it.  We talk about our experiences and theories and a story or two.

One of our most basic human needs is belonging. We are hardwired to be part of a tribe, once a survival instinct that kept us alive that remains deeply embedded in our biology. But belonging has a dark side... shadow sides. How much does the drive to belong change our beliefs, behaviours and perspectives to keep us in our tribe. Our tribe could be a workplace, a sporting club, a religion. 

Today Bobby and I throw around some thoughts on this topic and yet again, I loved it and hope you weapons do too!

This week my human puppy-dog, Bobby Cappuccio and I discuss the likes of change. How often are we seeking or chasing change for the sake of change, missing out on observing the progress that may be right under our noses. 

While we're at it, let's unpack some of the sales and onboarding processes out there in business and in life... All that jazz and more!

Enjoy.

My favourite Irish lad, the world-renowned breathing expert, Patrick McKeown is back with his mesmerizing accent and incredible knowledge. 

If you didn’t listen to his first episode back at #132 head back there for a listen as we covered a bunch of stuff from sports performance, learning & focus, sleep apnea & anxiety and depression.  Today we cover a whole bunch more such female specific breathing (who knew), children's breathing and how our physiology has evolved to obstruct optimal nasal breathing to name a few.

A couple of weeks shy of his 24th year of sobriety (woohoo), Mick Hall is back for another awesome chat about all things boxing, booze, bad decisions, and bloody great ones too. 

I quiz Mick on the definition of being a 'recovering addict' when he's a whopping 24 years clean and sober, curious of the mentality behind how we define ourselves through change and personal evolution. Mick shares how boxing taught him more than just how to throw a decent punch and how it became a mirror for life itself, from managing stress to staying grounded when the pressure’s on.

We also chat about the addictive mind... what it feels like, how it latches onto self-doubt and shame, and the tools Mick uses to stay clean and thriving. He’s brutally honest about the non-negotiables of recovery, the importance of connection, and why accountability is a game-changer.

This episode is packed with so many gold nuggets, whether you’re fighting addiction, dealing with your own challenges, or just looking for a little extra motivation to keep rolling with the punches. 

Enjoy!

Chance Burns' journey is nothing short of remarkable. After an accident that left him quadriplegic, Chance pushed through and has regained about 50% of his muscle function. In this conversation, he opens up about his rehabilitation, the mental hurdles he’s faced, and the unique perspective he's gained from living with his injury. From learning to walk with a cane to driving and even playing golf, Chance’s story is a testament to pushing limits and finding new ways to thrive. His fresh take on vulnerability and his use of humor to navigate challenges inspire others to do the same. This episode offers a new perspective on strength, resilience, and the mindset needed to beat the odds.

This week I saw someone warning people on their socials to be careful about some 'greedy psychologists who are charging $250 a session'. The responses were an array (as you expect on socials) of everything from people agreeing with the greediness, through to a barrage of support for that being a fair and reasonable price to pay. So, this week I'm throwing some thoughts around in terms of how we perceive the cost of services we use and also how those who are service providers settle on rates for services and what else should be taken into account from a values perspective. 

If you're using services, or providing them, then perhaps this is a handy episode to get you thinking.

Bobby and I are exploring how we can adjust and develop ourselves to adapt to and keep pace with the constantly changing world we inhabit. As evident from the episode title, we will be contemplating the factors that impede change. We will also delve into the validity of the "21 days to make or break a habit" notion and consider the psychosocial implications of our involvements and how community and connection plays an crucial role.

Masculinity... it's a word that stirs up all sorts of reactions these days. But what does it really mean? And what happens when men embrace their strength, leadership, and responsibility in a way that lifts themselves and those around them? Enter Ryan Michler, founder of Order of Man, a movement dedicated to helping men step up, take ownership, and lead in their lives, families, and communities. In this conversation, Ryan shares his journey from financial advisor to global thought leader on masculinity, the pivotal moments that shaped him, and why he's all about frameworks, networks, and action. We get real about parenting, personal growth, the shifting landscape of men's roles, and the difference between masculinity and the ever-controversial "toxic masculinity.'' If you’re into straight-talking insights on leadership, resilience, and showing up as your best self... this one’s for you.

Most of us have been no stranger to tossing and turning our sleepless night away at some point, haven’t we? Well, I sure know I have! Professor Sean Drummond fell into sleep (see what I did there) as an undergraduate when he volunteered as an undergraduate research assistant at the University of Arizona and since joined the Monash School of Psychological Sciences as a Professor of Clinical Neuroscience in Dec 2014.  He currently also serves as the Director of the Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Research Theme within the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health.

In this conversation Sean and I discuss some burning sleep questions, such as: Is there a best time to sleep? Are naps good or bad? Can melatonin help specific sleep problems? How do I build sleep pressure? Should I stay in bed if I can’t sleep? How do I create an optimal sleep environment? Should I allocate myself some ‘scheduled worry time’? What is insomnia, and what is it not? Do teenagers have a different sleep schedule? How long after shift work will it take for my sleep to return to normal? What is the relationship between sleep and mental health?

I dare say might just sleep easy after tuning into this episode!

It's fair to say I hit it off with Lisa Schermerhorn in this chat and when I tell you the name of her book, In Every Belief Is A Lie, you'll know just why! Lisa is a transformational coach, an author and a speaker who embodies her practices as a Master Practitioner of NLP and a certified Why Coach, helping people discover the why based on Simon Sinek's Know Your Why philosophies. 

We unpack some of the ideas and strategies around what Lisa does best and what's important when doing the work (and looking for someone to do the work with).

Today's chat with Harps was a perfect blend of humor and insight, potentially topping my list of favorite conversations with him. After we enjoyed some light-hearted banter about his lavender keep-cup and my tendency to relate to food much like a frantic Golden Retriever, the conversation took an intriguing turn. I'd gone full grown-up for this ep and proudly put in a solid three minutes of prep, armed with thought-provoking questions inspired by 'Tools of Titans' by Tim Ferriss - a must-read, I might add, for those who haven't yet!

While I'm keeping Harps's answers under wraps, I can share that the questions led us down a path of resourceful tips, practical advice, and some meaningful life lessons. More than that, they paved the way for Harps to offer deeply honest reflections into the world of Harps as he's known it.

Bec Brideson is a pioneer in a space you likely haven't thought all too much about. Gender-Intelligent thinking is a skill she has developed and that she is passionate about sharing. Ever heard the term 'womenomics'? Yeah, me either. I guess it takes someone like Bec, with a specific set of skills, circumstances and attributes to see business and life through a gender specific lens and help the rest of us capitalise on her insights. 

In 1998, Bec Brideson became the youngest female advertising Creative Director in Australia and joined an exclusive rank attained by only 3% of female creatives in the world. She has worked with brands such as Virgin, Qantas, Holden, Cricket Australia, and recently the launch of AFLW and I dare say, she's pretty impressive!

The Royal Children's Hospital certainly isn't a place anyone wants to land, though it's unfortunately an inevitable reality for some families. But when that time comes, they can be certain that due to people like Professor Catherine Crock the journeys and the outcomes are having the needle moved in the right direction. Sure, we're super lucky to have such advanced medicine at our fingertips, but along the way it's fair to say we've lost touch and appreciation for the very real healing power of the somewhat unseen stuff.

The healing power of sights, sounds, ambience and culture... of kindness. 

Professor Catherine Crock is a medical pioneer, producer of music and theatrics, humanitarian, mother and advocate for change. 

A Physician at The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, Catherine has successfully implemented a raft of positive changes to healthcare in organisational culture, services and patient/family support. She is a Professor in the Faculty of Health, Deakin University.

She is Chair and Founder of The Hush Foundation, a charity working to transform healthcare by improving partnerships, culture and the environment to support health and wellbeing. Hush, in collaboration with some of Australia’s finest musical talent, has commissioned nineteen albums of music specifically for application within healthcare.

Time, huh. It's all we really have and it's running out every single moment. Yet we treat it like an endless resource, which it is until it isn't. And none of us really know when that might be. It could be years. Or it could seconds. (grim, I know)

None of this is news to us, we all know it and we reference it in all of the cliches, but do we really live our lives with our time being a priority? Today Bobby and I are riffing on this topic and our relationships with time. We talk about living by our values and knowing the difference between this and living driven by our fears. We talk about the self-imposed prisons many of us are bound by and the ways in which we can break the mould and step outside our current paradigms.

My (second) favourite Mark is back in the banter-house with me today to talk it out and sift through the human-ness of life and nut out the good, bad and the ugly of our operating systems.

Meet Carolyn Coughlin, the acclaimed guru of better listening, improved leadership, and navigating the complexities of adult life. As we step into the grown-up world, Carolyn's wisdom becomes invaluable in understanding how meaning-making evolves and shapes our lives. I had the opportunity to sit down with her and ask some pressing questions that have been on my mind.

One of the key points we explored was the notion of authenticity and how leaders should embrace it. But what does authenticity even mean? Are there guidelines for balancing authenticity with vulnerability without oversharing? We also delved into the profound impact of language and the choices we make on our interactions and relationships.

As a founding partner of Cultivating Leadership and Growth Edge Consulting, Carolyn is renowned for teaching leaders how to achieve 'complexity fitness.' But what exactly does that mean, and how can we thrive in the face of complexity?

Carolyn provides valuable insights into what attributes make a good leader and those that should be avoided. Her expertise in adult development—a term that piqued my curiosity—shed light on the transformative journey we undergo as we grow.

With moments to spare, I finally reached my intended topic: how to become a better listener—an area where Carolyn's expertise shines and the reason I sought her guidance in the first place.

Enjoy!

Here it is! The last day of 2022 right here to wave us farewell. Might be a handy time to pause, reflect, acknowledge and set an intention or two around how we want 2023 to play out, huh?

Well, that's precisely what I'm riffing on in today's episode. A few Tiff-style suggestions around how we can use what we've learnt, achieved and adapted to over the last 365 days to get the ball rolling on getting spat out the other side of the next 365 days feeling chuffed with how we play the cards we get dealt.

If you're reading this right now, I want to say a BIG thanks to you for the overwhelming support and love! Now let's go kick ass in 2023.

Today's episode is stepping into the realm of a little true crime podcasting.  I bumped into John Killick via social media when he listened to a recent episode this year... Little did I know I had just started to banter with the he who pulled off Australia's most daring prison escape!

In 1999 John's girlfriend Lucy casually hijacked a helicopter at gunpoint (as you do) and ducked over Silverwater prison in Sydney to scoop up her love and bring him home... a modern day uber ride of sorts. John can tell some stories of his life that's for sure and I had to keep reminding myself that this was a non-fiction conversation. If you love true crime buckle up and grab a cuppa.

Well given it’s that time of year when many of us may be inevitably thinking ‘Oh, I really need to lose that extra kilo or two’ I’ve brought back the brilliant Dr Elizabeth Yurth from Boulder Longevity Institute to speak about fat loss from a scientific perspective.

Dr Elizabeth blew our minds with her knowledge around regenerative medicine, peptides and epigenetic medicine back in episode 145 and to be honest there aren’t many people I’d drag onto the show to talk about supplements when it comes to fat loss because let’s be honest, there’s a lot of horseshit and cowboys out there. Dr Yurth shares some pretty amazing insights around some of the supplements that actually work when we take a brain-based approach to what our biology needs.

Dr. Yurth is (take a seat, she's ticked a lot of boxes here) double board-certified in Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Yurth also completed a fellowship in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine from Stanford School of Medicine.  In addition, Dr. Yurth has a dual-Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, and Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and more recently completed a Fellowship in Human Potential and Epigenetic Medicine. She is also one of a select group of 25 hand-selected “Mastermind” members of the SSRP Institute, comprised of a small elite group of national peptide experts working in the emerging field of cellular medicine.

So yeah, she has my attention...

Hold your breath for today's guest... literally!  Patrick McKeown, Author of more than a few books including The Oxygen Advantage and his latest masterpiece The Breathing Cure joins me today and blows (pun intended) my mind with all things breathing and just what a medicinal wonderland our breath actually is.

From sports performance to focus and learning, from sleep apnea to asthma and low and behold, one heavily discussed RWTP topic, anxiety and depression.  If I could have kept Patrick for 10 hours on this episode I dare say my enthusiasm nor my questions would have diminished.  Albeit at times mighty scientific this chat both went deep, yet barely scratched the surface of what Patrick can share with us on breathing.

If this episode doesn't prompt you to share it and discuss it with everyone you bump into, I don't know what will.

When I first started boxing, I thrived on the hashtags #winnersneverquit and #quittersneverwin. At the time, it made perfect sense, and I still very much believe there's truth to it. But now, I also wonder: In what situations can quitting actually be a win? And when is it not? In this episode, our resident human behavior expert Bobby Cappuccio and I delve into the nuances of quitting, exploring when it can be a good idea and when it may not be. As with everything in life, context matters, and blindly following catchphrases without understanding our own goals can limit us and send us in the wrong direction.

At the turn of the Millennium, Rick Stevenson ventured forth on a personal mission to try and solve the mysteries of childhood by interviewing kids for 5000 days (time from Kindergarten to grade 12). What began as a documentary project has evolved into an educational initiative dedicated to helping kids discover that they can be the author of their own lives… and as an outcome, raise their emotional-intelligence quotient (EQ). 

This was one of those conversations I simply didn't want to end.. 

If you loved it as much as I did and want to really get emotional about the work Rick has done be sure to check out these three videos in the show notes here:

Do you ever struggle to feel like you're 'enough'? Do you believe you are 'worthy' of love? Are you forgiving of your shortcomings?

Would you treat or speak to a friend the way you speak to and treat yourself? Yeah, I think not hey. Self-compassion is the art of turning compassion inward. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that it is no easy feat. 

Dr. Kristin Neff is someone I have been waiting for the opportunity to speak to for a while now. She is a pioneer in the study of self-compassion, being the first one to operationally define and measure the construct almost twenty years ago and has been recognized as one of the world's most influential research psychologists. 

From practitioner to researcher, and researcher to educator, author and downright guru, there is no one I wanted to speak to more in terms of helping me get some clarity around how we use this elusive construct to heal and strengthen our relationships with 'us' and our identity. 

Fierce self-compassion, tender self-compassion, self-esteem, identity, toxic environments/people, positive affirmations... How do we navigate it all?

This is an episode I hope we all listen to a couple of times over. x

Well, 'Trouble' sure showed them! Today's guest sure fits this show like a glove (a boxing glove, of course). Marissa Williamson Pohlman knows how to roll with the punches both in the boxing ring, and in life. 

Their story is one of hardship and challenge from an early age. As a ward of the state, Marissa bounced between 16 foster placements over 5 years from the age of 13. And at 18 amidst the beginning of the pandemic when no longer eligible for care as a minor, homeless. 

Despite being told 'this girl is trouble', Kel Bryant took her into his boxing club and here we are in 2024 as she becomes the first Indigenous Australian female boxer to fight at this Olympic Games. 

She's got grit, resilience, sass and strength, and it was a pleasure hearing Marissa talk real and raw about her relationship with life, boxing, mental toughness, the importance of community support, and how to stay focused and motivated in the face of adversity.

We all have a story. We tell it to ourselves (and others) over and over. Sometimes consciously and perhaps sometimes subconsciously. Maybe it was a story that we were told growing up, or maybe it was one that we ourselves put together as best we could to understand our world and our personal circumstances. Stories are the very thing that Roll With The Punches is based on. Hearing the power of other people's stories and perspectives so we might new gain strategies, inspiration, insights and resources to help us navigate our own lives better. 

However, do you ever hear someone's story that feels like yours, but where they've drawn strength from adversity you feel like your story is the brick pulling you deeper into the emotional quicksand. This is a question I asked Dr. Bruce Perry to see what perspective he had towards the theory around how we relate to our story. It's a question that I continue to aspire to gain as many answers from as many guests I can, to help as many people find their own answers and hopefully release the anchor that might be our current relationship with our story. 

This episode is some thoughts around this process, I hope it lands with some of you.

Today's chat with the ever-inspiring RWTP regular, Jem Fuller is a rollercoaster of an episode that's not just about motorcycles and adventures, but also dives deep into the mechanics of self-worth, emotional intelligence, and the art of communication. Jem's stories range from stunt doubling in a blonde wig amidst his acting days, to his harrowing bike accidents, setting the stage for an entertaining yet insightful exploration of life's unpredictable journeys.

As the conversation shifts gears, we delve into the nuances of personal development and leadership, and I manage to lure Jem into somewhat of a coaching session around my own self inquiry on worthiness and being 'enough'. 

Whether you're a motorcycle enthusiast, a personal growth devotee, or just seeking an entertaining yet meaningful conversation, this ep (hopefully) may just float your boat!

"I AM ENOUGH"

It's a powerful affirmation. Most of us don't believe it, many of us say it, write it and repeat it as a mantra. This week Mark Thomas opened up a dialogue with me to put the 'I Am Enough' affirmation under the microscope and define actually 'what is enough'? Which of course will vary from person to person.

Perfectly timed question preceding my weekly podcast with Bobby Cappuccio so we picked up the ball and ran with it and it's definitely a topic we both thrived on bantering about!

We bounce around ideas on manifestation and affirmative thinking. We discuss the science, the experience, the results, the tools, loopholes, the perspectives and reality - your reality, my reality and the reality that some aspects of our reality is potentially idealism itself.

Another mind-food episode I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I have a heart-to-heart with the incredible Jem Fuller. We really dive into some big topics like mental health, the wild journey of parenting, and how life-changing it can be to truly embrace self-acceptance and forgiveness. Jem opens up with some stories and insights from a community event he was involved in, focusing on the tough topic of suicide, particularly among men, and highlights the importance of having a solid support system.

We also have an honest chat about the complexities of parenting in today's fast-paced world (as clearly, I'm an expert!). We explore how even the small things parents do can have unintended impacts on their kids and how our best intentions don't always align with their experiences.

A major part of our conversation delves into forgiveness and reaching a place of peace with who you are at any moment. I dig into Jem's thoughts on how to let go of hard feelings and find forgiveness, even when forgiveness seems the toughest. And of course, we tackle the topic of shame head-on, discussing the importance of self-acceptance and self-understanding.

RWTP favourite, Bobby Cappuccio is back for another always insightful banter. 

From general chit chat, to a deep dive into the psychology of money, whether a business lacking passion and emotional buy-in can thrive, what's the value of invisible art and as usual Bobby brings all the insightful perspectives to the table.

I always leave a conversation with Bobby 10% smarter...  So I'm paying it forward to you guys :)

She’s back... Queen of vitamins, minerals and debunking nutritional bullsh*tery.

This episode we had heaps of fun and packed it choc-a-block (did somebody say chocolate?) of nutritional gold nuggets. Yes that’s gold nuggets, not chicken! Alison shares the Alimentary scoop on vegan and vegetarian diets, keto cults, clarifying calories, fast weight loss, diet pills, bully hormones, set point theory, nutrition for athletes and so much more.   The perfect information to dive deep into as we in Victoria (Australia) bunker down into a few more weeks of Covid19 'kwarantine'.

Get ready for me to run down some philosophical rabbit holes with Julian Baggini. I mean what else would I do when blessed with such an esteemed andeste prolific writer, philosopher and expert in personal identity?

Given Julian's PhD research in personal identity, we're diving deep into what makes us who we are and how we relate to our identity. We unpack thinking and how to think critically (ie: realise that everything we 'know' has the capacity to be rubbish). Yet again, I couldn't help but open up the free will can of worms and get Julian's perspective. Oh, and by the way Julian, how do we decipher whether research is actually reliable or just well-dressed bullshit? 

This was an interesting and fun topic!

Visualisation get's quite a bit of air-time as a useful strategy when it comes to performance and mindset. I know myself it's been massive when it comes to stepping into the ring to compete in combat sports, and likewise preparing to step on the stage and present. Bobby hit the airwaves today with a thing or two to clarify on the use of visualisation though, so here we are unpacking what we know (and maybe what we don't really know) about how useful visualisation is and some things worth thinking about when we implement it. 

Enjoy!

Robin Esrock grabbed a 20k payout after a motorbike accident and took to a year of travelling the world on 35 bucks a day... That was 15 years ago and he's still living the dream a nomad, leaving no stone unturned across the globe.

Robin became a travel writer and authored a plethora of travel books and bucket list books. In fact, he authored the Great Australian Bucket List if you're looking for an experience right here on your doorstep, my Aussie friends.

I adored hearing the stories, insights and experiences Robin shared... if anyone is looking for me, I'm off to the airport!

Are you still setting goals, implementing what worked for the 'successful people' but pulling up short of the desired outcome? Come on, put that cookie-cutter down and take my hand... 

I'm back with PH360 Personalised Health super-stars, Anne Larsen and Dr. Cam McDonald to explore the concept that success and goal achievement, like all things, isn't one-size-fits-all.

We discuss how understanding our unique personal traits and tendencies (those ones that are biologically hardwired) can significantly influence our approach to goals, rather than blindly following others' methods. We discuss how motivation is deeply linked to feelings and the need to understand our individual triggers and preferences.

In this conversation we expand on epigenetics and the role of our biology in shaping our behaviour and response to goal setting, recognising the importance of creating an environment conducive to these biological needs and the profound impact it can have on our success and outcomes. 

So, if your first month of '2024 is my year to succeed' isn't flowing with the ease and grace you anticipated, perhaps this conversation will offer up valuable insights!

With so many things to learn in life, it's kind of interesting to me to realise that learning HOW to actually LEARN is also a thing.

It's a thing that Barbara Oakley has devoted much of her learning to and so I burrow into her brilliant mind in this episode to pull out some knowledge and science for myself (and you). There's so much more I want to learn and I'm excited at the prospect of better understanding the process, which in itself fascinates me.

I fire some questions at Barbara such as 'why did I sign up to your course two weeks ago and not finish it?' (like many others I have).

How do we better focus our ADHD tendencies?

Can we focus if we are not innately interested in the content?

She is a mind weapon!  Enjoy :)

It's no secret that nationally and globally, there's a pressing need to advance men's mental health. Enter Dr. Zac Seidler, a Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, Global Director of Men’s Health Research at Movember, Senior Research Fellow with Orygen at the University of Melbourne, and a leading expert in men's mental health.

In this episode, I delve into Dr. Seidler's wealth of knowledge to explore how we—as individuals, as a nation, and on a global scale—are striving to better understand men, masculinity, male violence, shame, and the surrounding cultural dynamics. Dr. Seidler offers profound insights and valuable education on these critical issues.

Strap yourself in, I've got a live one here! You're going to love this weapon Tess Cesnik (unless you're a bit precious around the odd f-bomb).

Former fellow Aussie who packed her bags, put on her big girl pants and plonked herself in the UK and called it home. At 12 years old Tess performed a lift that is to this day held as a junior world record (not by Tess as no numb-nut thought to put her into competition). However it highlights how stupidly strong Tess is, along with her numerous powerlifting accomplishments.

We shoot the breeze about life, lifting and laughing and I discovered that if I were to live in the UK and be seeking a coach, I'd be knocking on Tess's door as her coaching philosophy is right up my alley!

The funny thing about coaching is that when we seek it, we believe the coach has the answers. However, the more I coached (and was coached) the more I realised that the answers were mine, not theirs (if they're a good coach) and that the answers were already inside me, waiting to be realised. A good coach just creates a space, a perspective, they can draw you out of your bubble of bullsh^t. 

When I coach others, I feel like I learn and evolve at a rapid pace... and for me I've experienced this in boxing and in mindset and behaviour coaching. 

So this... this is an insight to my thoughts around this.

Bill Bennett is an Australian writer, producer and director of feature films and documentaries. In a career spanning more than thirty years, he’s made sixteen feature films, four dramatized documentaries and five feature length documentaries. His feature films have won numerous awards, both in his home country of Australia, and internationally. In Australia, Bill has won Australian Film Institute Awards and Australian Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Writer.

In Bill's early television work he won two Logies – Australia’s Emmy – for Television Reporter of the Year, and Most Outstanding Documentary.

All these accolades are AMAZING however what I really wanted to talk to Bill about was his experience with 'intuition' which is the subject of his most recent film which came about as a result of Bill's near death experience narrowly escaped due to... you guessed it, intuition! 

We talk about what intuition is and how we experience and tap into it and we also talk about fear and it's relationship to intuition. 

Fascinating topics!

Dr. Robb Kelly is an addiction recovery expert, who's expertise come from both an academic perspective but also very much an experiential perspective. Owning up to the depths of Dr. Robb Kelly's alcohol addiction, he reflects openly and honestly on some pretty confronting truths around just how rock-bottom he found himself. 

Homelessness, theft and the perpetrator of some pretty serious domestic violence against his wife, it sure sounds like a hell of a lot to face and overcome. Dr. Robb Kelly experienced an awakening that's almost unexplainable in parts, yet through the ability to face up to his actions he has not only turned the page and written a whole new book (literally and metaphorically) but he now runs his own successful addiction recovery centre to guide others through the process.

Is being skeptical really a negative trait? Bobby and I talk endlessly about mindset, beliefs, perceptions and things that influence our behaviour and thus, our lives. This week we're looking at the role of skepticism and the benefits (especially in today's world of ever-present information) of having the correct dose of skepticism around anything we're learning or taking on board. 

It goes without saying, you should listen to our opinions and discussion on this topic with your own level of healthy skepticism :)

Becca Braccialle has only quite recently been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome.

Despite the common misconception, Becca doesn't stroll down the street shouting profanities at people..  However, her tics do speak their own mind at their will.   When I first came across Becca through social media I was fascinated and intrigued by some of the videos she shares, Tourette's Karaoke being one of my favourites.

And like all things, my curiosity around what it's like for someone living with this unique condition meant that she was going to have to come and have a chat with me behind the RWTP mics.

Thanks Becca for coming on and sharing your experience.  If you'd like to check her out see the links below.

Buckle up, this woman is a weapon of a human and you're going to love her.

Judith has worn zebra-print shoes into a courtroom, represented transsexuals, bikers, alleged murderers and rapists, and raised four children on her own. Once a battered wife who struggled to feed her family, she is now one of Western Australia’s best known criminal lawyers, an expert in forensic science, an internationally known jury researcher and a successful author.

Strength and vulnerability are two of my favourite traits and Judith has these in spades.

How's your relationship with your body? If there was a dialogue between you and it (oh by the way there is, you just may not be conscious of it) what does it say? 

I think it's time we tune into this, start to understand what's really going on and start listening to the intelligence and wisdom that our body communicates to us moment to moment. We wouldn't say mean things to a puppy if it felt pain, got chubby or came down with an illness, would we? So why is it ok that we treat our own bodies with such disdain?

At first it whispers, we ignore it. Then it shouts, we curse it. Then it breaks down, we shame it. No more. I'm calling it. It's time to regroup, reframe, own up and reignite a healthy relationship with the vehicle we were gifted to carry us through this life and engage us in physical experiences and activities. 

I hope this episode hits you in the heart and sees you stand in front of a mirror and say 'thanks' (and maybe 'sorry') to that brilliant biological Ferrari of yours.

And let me tell you, this episode was a first for me - I had my very first Auslan-interpreted conversation, and I was like a kid in a candy shop! Rebecca’s story blew me away. She’s profoundly deaf, but that hasn’t stopped her from smashing through glass ceilings. She’s the first deaf CEO of her organization in 140 years and she's also a lawyer to the Supreme Court of Victoria using Auslan. 

We talked about everything from her experiences growing up in a deaf household, to leading a national organisation, to the ways technology is helping (and sometimes falling short) when it comes to deaf inclusion. I even learned that one in six Aussies is actually affected by hearing loss.

Rebecca’s got such a calm, yet powerful presence, and she’s been breaking barriers in education, sports, law - you name it.. I adore her! Her resilience and the way she’s used adversity as fuel to become a leader and an advocate for the deaf community is such a legendary achievement.

Plus, huge thanks to Mark Quinn, the Auslan interpreter. This conversation was one of my favourites!

Matty's back and we're talking all things meat pies and eating our feelings this week. Matty Lansdown is a scientist and nutritionist who's spent over a decade working in health and diving deep into all things food, bodies and minds. 

We talk about emotional eating, the effects of humans living in the wrong positions on the globe (for what our genetics were equipped for) and how to deal with resistance from the people around us when we're trying to put our best nutritional foot forward and change our eating habits. 

Another cracking conversation!

Imagine riding a motorcycle at a breathtaking speed of 270 kph. Now, picture doing it with your eyes closed, unable to see a thing! That’s the reality for Ben Felton, who couldn’t see a thing even before he even got on the bike. Teaming up with Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix legend Kevin Magee - who has an impressive 36 Grand Prix races under his belt and is the winner of the 1988 Spanish Grand Prix - Ben set out to become the world's fastest blind man on a motorcycle. And in true legendary fashion, they achieved this remarkable feat in March 2018.

Today, I’m chatting with these incredible lads about their personal and shared journeys. From Kevin’s brain surgeries to Ben being told at 15 that he was going blind and there was nothing he could do about it, their stories are nothing short of inspiring.

This is an epic conversation that breaks down barriers, redefines what’s truly possible, and puts the ‘ability’ back into disability.

I came across Fritzi Horstman when I watched Dr Gabor Mate's recently released film The Wisdom Of Trauma.  Wow, enough said. If you ask Fritzi she'll tell you 'it all started with a book and a prison'.  The book was The Body Keeps The Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and the prison, well that changed everything. Fritzi is founder of the Compassion Prison Project, an organization dedicated to bringing compassion, childhood trauma awareness and creative inspiration to all the men and women living behind bars.  When I spoke to Fritzi in this episode, I felt like I was speaking to someone who is about to change the world. You're going to love what she is doing in the world, but even more so you are going to love her openness to step vulnerably into her own experiences with me (and you) throughout this touching conversations. This episode is pretty special.

Food addiction... it's a thing. But we can't quit it cold turkey, we need that sh*t to stay alive.  Is it only sugar that feeds our addiction?  How do can we modify our addictive behaviour? Is my Lindt chocolate consumption killing me? 

Dr. Nicole Avena is a research neuroscientist and a pioneer in the field of food addiction. Her seminal research work jump-started a new field of exploration in medicine and nutrition. On top of the area of food addiction Dr Nicole is an expert in diet during pregnancy and baby, toddler and childhood nutrition.

If you (like me) are raising your hand when it comes to mild addictive tendencies around food then this episode might just float your boat!

Being thoughtful, productive, and constantly striving for excellence is admirable, but at what cost? The problem arises when our natural tendency to develop habits and routines morphs into a pattern of always putting everyone and everything else first. In doing so, we often sideline ourselves, our most crucial ally. While 'selfishness' rarely receives applause, a certain kind of well-intentioned selfishness is not just a refreshing approach for maintaining high performance and happiness, it's absolutely essential. Hell, I'm still grappling with this balance at 40... How about you?

In our chat, LeBusque and I dig into this idea. We also delve into building confidence, maintaining integrity, and learning to accept that 'you belong in that room (so #%$@ off imposter syndrome). If, like me, you've been chained to the grindstone, letting comparisons, corrode your confidence, and you're ready for a reality interrogation, then step into our office. This conversation is for you!

Some of you might relate somewhat to Graeme's story...  He went from seemingly successful in all things business and life, to 'existing' for 5 years on what we call the brink, going toe to toe with the demons of depression.

In his earlier career he worked in senior leadership positions with Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and AT Kearney and then in the year 2000 Graeme went through a 5 year episode of depression that his psychiatrist described as the worst he had ever treated.

He emerged from this crisis with a different view about how we can increase our resilience, mood, and performance. He is described by the Australian Financial Review as a “workplace resilience expert”.

He is the author of 4 books, including the internationally acclaimed BACK FROM THE BRINK. Graeme also helped to start R U OK? in 2009, and is an active Board Director.

This episode is raw, touching and damn special.  Because again, I reached out to someone in my own network and asked if they would share some of their life with me.... on air, of course.   This story was bigger than what I already knew of them. Listening to it again as I edited,  made me SO excited to share it and SO humbled that they trusted to share their story with me.

Gee whizz, talk about perspective... You may just have a new one after this episode!

I let a few extra f-bombs fly in the end of this one, because as always when we 'switch off' at the end, all the good stuff poured out... but on THIS occasion I was still recording.. #BOOM  So the walls were down and I got to capture the more casual (and on my end at least, more bogan) banter.

Strap yourself in for a dose of... Hardship turned inspiration & resilience.

Today I'm joined by the brilliant fitness and women’s health expert Amanda Thebe, who herself went from barely surviving menopause to thriving, by making specific changes to her diet, exercise, and approach to mental health.

Amanda is refreshingly candid and pulls no punches as she cuts through the thicket of information (and misinformation) about menopause. We talk about the various types of menopause (medical menopause, natural menopause, early menopause) and about how to recognise, prepare for and alleviate the symptoms along the way. 

Most importantly Amanda highlights the reminder that there is a light at the end of what can seem like a very long, very dark tunnel for a number of women going through this period of their lives (pardon the pun).

Enjoy!

JJ Flizanes is one of those humans who I simply love having the opportunity to draw wisdom and insight from. She's an Empowerment Strategist who works with conscious, spiritual truth seekers who want to remove emotional blocks to success, helping people identify sabotaging patterns and transmute struggle into joy... Sounds bloody good to me!

I'm getting down to business in today's chat to discover her thoughts around the hard-hitting questions, like 'Hey JJ, what is LOVE?' (yep, time to figure out the big ones). Fate vs free will, consciousness vs awareness, how we self-sabotage and hey, how do we help people (or ourselves) stuck in a victim mentality?

If you're curious around any of this, come on and tune in!

It's 2022 and a fair percentage of humans are doing what humans do in the the first weeks of the year... Setting goals, going over the coulda, woulda, shoulda of their fitness goals and making a pledge to change and get it right.

Given that I thought it's a perfect time to drag our resident Exercise Physiologist back behind the mic and iron out some of the kinks for us all. I do love a just-do-the-work, no bullshit approach when it comes to our health... there's far too much glitter and fibs out there dipping into our pockets with little RIO for our efforts.

Happy Sunday... but no Bobby today! This episode I'm just mulling over some thoughts on how we get through life's (minor) tough moments, inconveniences and bumps in the road. As many of us do, this week I had a big, exhausting week that knocked me for six and left me feeling mighty depleted. But alas, I had commitments I had made and in the middle of the mayhem I thought I'd reflect on the experience of making it work even when we feel like it wont. 'Rolling with the punches' just like the name of my damn show says to.

It's just a short and sweet episode, plenty of rambling about kittens but hopefully it might reinforce a little lesson or two that you find helpful.

Enjoy!

John McDougall, MD, is a physician, speaker and best-selling author who teaches the importance of a whole food, starch-based diet in order to halt, reverse and heal chronic disease. 

Doting grandfather, John McDougall started his career in medicine as a GP getting a well-rounded understanding of how to keep people well and healthy. Though he seemed to be falling short of his own expectations when it came to chronic disease, which lead him to dive deep into what is now known as The McDougall Program, a leading medical program that heals chronic illness through professional medical care, world-class education, and ongoing support for people transitioning to a starch-based lifestyle.

He's a fire-cracker full of insight, experience and knowledge, I hope you enjoy the episode.

Is dissociation actually a superpower that's been given a bad rap?

Why does trauma make some memories so vivid, yet lock others away in a seemingly inaccessible vault?

Can how we view our story determine whether we experience post-traumatic growth vs post-traumatic stress disorder?

Did you know it takes as little as a 10-minute traumatic experience at a very young age to permanently change brain biology? Meaning those babies turn into adults whose brains function very differently when it comes to processing stress and trauma.

So many incredibly important questions, insight and perspectives and I'm still pinching myself to say that I got to delve into this conversation with the holy grail when it comes to the research around the impact of childhood abuse, neglect and trauma and the developmental effect it has on the brain, Dr. Bruce Perry. Over the last thirty years, Dr. Perry has been an active teacher, clinician and researcher in children’s mental health and the neurosciences holding a variety of academic positions. His work on the impact of abuse, neglect and trauma on the developing brain has impacted clinical practice, programs and policy across the world.

Dr. Perry and Oprah Winfrey's recently released book 'What Happened To You' has had over 1 million sales and is one that I've read several times myself. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy after listening to this ep. 

Enjoy!

****ing look out!  The old Cook-powered cogs have been turning in this inquisitive mind of mine again and churning out some rando thoughts, ideas and questions. 

Like, does my stuff matter when I get the story I tell myself about my stuff right?

Why does my sense of 'satisfaction' or 'happiness' or perhaps even my 'sense of self' swing wildly in opposing directions at times despite the actual reality of my circumstances or experiences vastly remaining much the same?

Does the right attitude make the right circumstances and outcomes fall into place?

Would I even care if those circumstances 'fell into place' once my attitude was right and I thus achieved a sense of satisfaction and happiness anyway?

Do I believe these questions can even be answered? No, I don't actually...  Because reality is just my perception of how things are. So, these answers I seek would (in my opinion) in the end just be a decision that I make for me based on my own interpretation of my own situation.. of which it is impossible for me to be objective about. 

Crikey! These #SelfieSaturdays are taking me on quite the bloody ride!

Ohmegoodness... I've done it again.

Peter Crone is my guest today and I know I’m not alone in being somewhat of a Peter Crone fan. However, by the end of this podcast you’re going to have learned a new term.. That is the term – to have been 'Croned'.

This is the term used for one who sits down with Peter to record a podcast and somehow drags out all of their deepest, darkest issues. Much like the Dr Bill Saunders episode 168 I thought we may as well roll with it and you guys can walk by my side on my little therapeutic journey of healing a few childhood wounds.

My intention was to meander through some ideas and Peter's perspective around self-sabotage, yet old mate had other ideas and lured me into unpacking some of the bullshit that is still floating around my belief system around connection, relationships, abandonment and of course, shame.

I hope that some of the insights Peter offered me can be of use to some of you guys too.
