In todays episode I have Darren Maroney and Greg Leitch Back on show

This would make Darren third episode.

Episode 1

Episode 3

Episode 7

And Greg’s second.

Episode 8

Today Darren takes the interview chair as Greg and I share our stories about depression.

The things that have worked.

How bad things got.

What we do now to manage it.

Plus so much more.

It's called the Black Dog Episode because we wanted to keep the conversation going about depression and hopes people not only ask “Are you ok?” but also ask “What can I do to help you or what do you need from me right now”

Let’s get into it.

Today’s episode is a little different due to being called away for a family emergency so I wanted to get something up quickly.

This is an audio clip of a Facebook Live I did when Theo was born, If you would like to watch the video instead, head over to the blog and check it out.

But it’s all about willpower and how we use it and more importantly, how you can recharge your willpower battery to show up and do all the things you NEED to do as a busy parent.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Today’s Doggie, Cheryl and I talk about running.

In fact it’s an episode that was hugely popular when it first came out.

So if you love running, want to love running or thinking of dabbling in a bit of pavement pounding.

I highly recommend listening to this show…

Enjoy

Today’s episode is another from the archive with Doggie and I talking about overreaching.

Setting yourself up for the best success and gaining massive momentum.

Knowing that momentum and consistency is key for long term success, this episode will have some gold nuggets for you to be able to keep showing up no matter what life throws at you.

In today’s episode I bring another one from the archives.

This is episode one of the original CJ Rubric podcast with Doggie and Cheryl

Over the next 10mins or so we chat about the STRESS CUP.

I write about this in my daily emails quite often and it’s something that has been a powerful realisation for all my clients and whoever I teach it too.

Let’s get into it.

In today’s episode, I catch up with Olivia Aughton.

I know Liv through coaching and she is also good friends with Cat.

Liv has gone through an amazing transformation and also juggled having a 1-2 year old bub, coaching an A grade netball side, doing F45 5 days a week and also staring in a local production of Chicago. While also working her day job full time.

The reason why I think this interview is cool is because Liv mentions over and over again that building habits, skills and being super organised was the only way she can do all the stuff she is doing.

Plus the focused time with your partner and kids could well be the biggest take away from it all.

That’s enough from me….let’s get into Liv’s story and the amazing results she achieved along the way.

In today’s episode, I bring back an episode from the old CJ Rubric Podcast archives

In it, I and Shannon and Cheryl from Lonedog MPE fame talk about the common phrase people say

“I need to get fit before I start training”

We chat about some experiences we have had, why some people would be struggling to get started and how to overcome the initial roadblocks to getting you moving closer to the best version of yourself.

It’s a nice short one today, something you can do and take action on straight away….

In today’s episode I catch up with my amazing sister Sonya Forrest

Sonya is a freelancer digital marketer, project manager and graphic designer who is self employed and mainly works from home.

She works with small online businesses, entrepreneurs and public figures who are looking to grow their profile in the digital media landscape.

In this episode we chat about:

• How she transitioned from the corporate world to the work from home world.

• How she juggled getting married and having a honeymoon while ramping up her online business.

• How she structures her day to the most productive she can be while still getting her Move – Eat – Re-energise in…

• How she uses checklists and tasks to make sure she gets everything done that she needs to and create real freedom…mental freedom

• How she created an afternoon routine to ‘switch’ off from the day and how busy parents can do the same.

• We discuss Sonya’s Hashimotos disease and how it has changed the way she trains, eats, works, and manages her stress.

• How Sonya and I are opposites in the way we self-regulate our training and how both are super successful.

• The one thing you can do every day to create ‘freedom’ in your life and in your brain to show up as the best version of you…

Today’s interview is a little different.

The legend that is Sallee Carter has taken up the interviewer role and I am on the hot seat!

We chat about how when I was a kid, I was my happiest only when being active and how I forgot this in my early 20’s

Which lead to me becoming an Alcoholic that racked up crazy amounts of debt, lost a house and eventually led me to a phycologist the planted the seed about becoming a PT.

We also go into the struggles I have had personally with addiction to pre workouts supplements, hard and intense training, being burned by a business partner and much more…

It’s Sallee’s and my hope that this podcast episode give you some insight into how the CJ Rubric came to be and although we couldn’t cover everything

This is a very raw and transparent insight into my past, present and what my hopes are for the future.

Let’s get into it.
