It’s always wonderful to catch up with an old friend, which is exactly what happens in today’s episode.  Today’s guest is Zali Nash, author of “Enough Already!  How to Lose Weight Once and For All and Reclaim Your Life”. Susie and Zali worked together at World Vision in the early 2000’s and even travelled over to see some projects in Kenya together.  In all their years of marriage, Luke has heard plenty of stories, but never actually met her.  Despite not meeting, Luke brings a change of perspective to Zali on that trip and we hear about how her life since children inspired her book, which is a perfect New Year read.

We also discuss Susie’s flawed strategy in teaching her children about being fiscally responsible.

Our guest today was the golden girl of the pool at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, having already dominated in the pool at the previous Commonwealth Games.  With an early memory of nearly drowning, her life circumstances in early life made her an unlikely candidate for swimming success.  She fought the odds and rose to the top in her sport in an era where she was not allowed to financially benefit from her sport whilst competing. 

Life after the pool has been a tumultuous journey and now, over 30 years later, a simple incident in a restaurant prevents her from swimming at all.  Hear Tracey’s incredible vulnerability as she shares the highs of her career and the lows of her personal life in this episode.

It's an episode of challenges of the senses. Firstly, the tastebuds.  "Paleo" is a popular form of eating for some and highly criticised by others.  Though he doesn't like it being called a "fad diet", since it's been around since men have walked the earth, our guest demonstrates the health benefits of getting back to basics with how we eat. Author of "The Paleo Diet" and founder of thepaleodiet.com, Dr Loren Cordain is our guest in this episode.  

Secondly, it's a test of sight.  Can you find the panda?  We test out Luke's skills because, well, he's pretty proud of himself with this latest internet fad.

The word 'bully' is used way more commonly today than when Michael Connell was a boy but bullying existed all the same. Michael describes the impacts of bullying, the severity of what he experienced, and how he managed to cope.  As a stand up comedian now Michael Connell has even experienced apologies from former bullies after his shows.  He shares about his experiences of bullying, how he coped, his advice for others and how having a girlfriend is impacting his comedy.
The humble brag is also discussed in today’s show.  Celebrities seem to do this on social media often, but is it as bad as it appears?
