It's a full circle moment on Crappy to Happy as Tiff Hall returns to join Cass behind the mic. This time, not as a cohost but as guest, to reflect on the last few years of challenges: including bouncing forward post babies, business diversification and a changing relationship to her body.If you've not met Tiff before she's one of Australia's most trusted health and fitness experts. She's a personal trainer, author, journalist and best known for her television appearances on Gladiators, and The Biggest Loser Australia.
In this conversation you can expect to hear:

• the regrets Tiff has from her days of her 'smash and bash' approach to fitness
• the pressure she felt to 'bounce back' to her pre-baby body
• her struggles of being a female founder in a predominately male dominated industry
• how she has become more realistic and gentle with her expectations of herself in motherhood

Check out Tiff's fabulous online fitness and wellness program: TXO. You can find it here. Use the code TANYA99 to get full access to TXO for just $99 for a full year access. That's where you will also find her fabulous supplements and active wear. Check out on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. And you can listen to her new podcast, Bounce Forward, in all the usual places.

Before starting her executive coaching company for CEO's and Founders, 'Reset', Liz Tran spent a decade in tech, most recently as the only female executive at a top venture capital firm. For most of her career, Liz Tran was sure that if people knew about her spiritual practices, they would never respect her as a business person.

She worked in a world where numbers and spreadsheets were everything, so how could she admit that she believed in scientifically indefensible forces like the Tarot or feng shui or Reiki?Liz is the host of the Reset with Liz Tran podcast and her new book, 'The Karma of Success' has just been released. And in this episode you can expect to hear:

• How suffering doesn't equal success and how accessing ideas that flow easily through you can lead to better results
• How to care for the three treasures of the body: physical body, energy, and intuition
• Why some Founders succeed past the seed stage and others don't

If you'd like to learn more about Liz, check out her website, or her personal instagram here.
The Reset instagram can be found here.
Listen and subscribe to Liz's podcast, Reset with Liz Tran here.
And, if you're in the UK or US you can get yourself a paperback version of Liz's new book 'The Karma of Success' here.

Around 85% of women will become a mother and most agree that pregnancy and parenthood are experiences that profoundly change us physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. Sadly though, mothers, minds and brains are mostly absent from popular pregnancy books and social media posts unless of course there is a discussion about what can go terribly wrong: baby blues, postnatal depression and of course the dreaded baby brain.Today, Dr. Sarah joins Cass to chat about the upside of pregnancy and parenting on your brain. And research is very clear... Having a baby improves a mother's memory. It makes her smarter, more empathetic, intuitive, and socially savvy. 
Dr. Sarah McKay is an Oxford University educated neuroscientist. She is one of Australia's most well-known brain science commentators and authors. She wrote The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, and recently she has turned her attention to baby brain. Her latest book is called Baby Brain, the Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds for the Better.
In this episode we explore:

• the amazing neurological shifts that happen when we care for babies
• how mental load and emotional labor of motherhood can impact attention and memory abilities
• the importance of considering women's health in medical research and the surge of interest in the neurobiology of pregnancy and menopause. 

You can get yourself a copy of Dr Sarah McKay's books here. Follow her on instagram here.

These days it seems like everyone is a Narcissist. The term 'narcissism' is a bit of a buzzword that is used to describe anyone who comes across as a little self absorbed, or 'full of themselves', but is that true? Is everyone a narcissist? And what is the distinction between a narcissist and the rest of us?In this episode, Cass breaks down:

• the DSM criteria for a diagnosis of Narcissism and how it is outdated
• the different presentations of Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism (or overt and covert narcissism)
• when a personality trait becomes a personality disorder
• how to spot a Grandiose or Vulnerable Narcissist in your life and what do do about it

If you're interested in this topic, check out this episode with W. Keith Campbell here.

Not all of us have experienced huge childhood trauma. We’ve not been neglected, or physically, emotionally, or sexually abused in our formative years, and even today, there may not be anything inherently wrong with our life. You likely have a roof over your heads, food in your belly, an incoming coming in; for which you feel like you should be grateful for... Yet there’s still a sense of not being entirely happy, feeling empty or anxious in some ways, and not feeling enough.If this is you, and even if it’s not, you are going to love today’s guest, Dr Meg Arroll. Meg is a Chartered psychologist in the UK, scientist and author of Tiny Traumas and in this episode they explore: 

• what is the difference between 'big T' and 'little T' trauma?
• examples of what a 'Tiny T' trauma can look like
• the cumulative effects of 'Tiny T' trauma and how they impact health outcomes
• the Triple A model and how it can help us with emotional eating

As promised, this week Cass gives us a little history lessons in modern psychology and the evolution of therapy over the last 30-40 years. We've certainly come a long way since the days of reward or punishment. But what are the modern approaches and how has therapy evolved throughout recent decades?Cass explains what Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), are and how these approaches fit within modern advances in neuroscience and nervous system regulation. She also explores the role of mindfulness and meditation, and the role of somatic therapies (like EFT, and EMDR), breathwork and yoga.
