First up, a bit of a warning on this one. This episode deals with the loss of a child. There's tears, there's (surprisingly) a lot of laughs - and there's actually a positive message out of the whole thing. It's a beautiful episode - but I wanted to give you a heads-up, so it didn't come out of the blue and trigger something for you. 🤗

When the Podvan rolled up to the Cancer Council's annual Relay for Life, I didn't know who I'd meet there. I couldn't have imagined I’d sit down with Lou and Rob, the proud parents of a champion - who I'd actually met a few years ago.

Their son, Spencer, was a 10 year old entrepreneur that launched "Spins Bins," a wheelie bin cleaning empire.

In the episode, Lou and Rob share their story about finding laughter and light in the darkest of times, what keeps them going, (one minute at a time) and the incredible community that has rallied around them.

Please leave a comment and rate the podcast if you enjoy the episode - it really does help!

"I don't feel comfortable asking people for money."

This is a bit of a different one... it's a podcast within a podcast! My business coach (Marcus Kroek) asked me to go on his Business Unlocked podcast, to talk about my journey from employee to business owner.

We chat about everything from how I learned to define my own version of success (it's actually not about the money) to why I needed to stop working 24/7.

If you're in business yourself, you might get some helpful stuff from this chat. If you're not, I hope you'll just enjoy a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset shifts I've had to make along the way.

Oh man, if you haven't heard this story - you're in for a treat!! (And it's super short and sweet!)

Julie had a great idea: let's bring back our old radio segment, Thankful Thursday! Simple, right? WRONG.

What if someone listens on a Saturday? Or starts on a Thursday but finishes on a Monday?! The panic was real, but the jingle I came up with to solve this ridiculous, self-inflicted problem is even better.

Remember, if you'd like to hear the whole episode it came from, just search for Episode 47 of The Podvan Podcast!

NEW EPISODES every MONDAY

I had the absolute pleasure of having a last-minute sit-down with the brilliant Jen, who runs the Central Coast 'Walk It Off' ladies group. What started as a chat about mental health quickly went in soooo many incredible and unexpected directions.

Jen opens up about how she lost 44 kilos, and the huge mental and emotional journey that comes with it. We also get into her life as a female carpenter, why some men find her independence 'intimidating', and how being raised by an incredible single mum shaped the woman she is today.

This is an AWESOME chat! Actually - if you enjoy it, please leave a comment on the episode! 🤗

Kofi and Talula jumped in the Podvan about a year ago in Long Jetty, while they were here backpacking around Australia. In this Quick Fix, you'll hear how Kofi dropped out of uni and started a "Solo Travel Vlog" from scratch - to the point where he now has over 100,000 followers on his socials and travels the world for a job!

If you enjoy this Quick Fix, you can just scroll back through to episode 49 and you can hear the whole chat!

I really hope Julie doesn't read the title of this one... But, I mean - it's actually what's coming up in this episode!!

We talk about some of the things I brought back from Thailand (including a strange rash 😳) and Julie sings a VERY strange song. (Please let me know if you've ever heard it before!!!)

It's a good episode full of nonsense and laughs. Enjoy!

About a year ago, I rolled up to the Triple M carpark in Gosford to have a chat with Maz (one half the brekky team there) - and then the other half of the show barged in... 😂 Enjoy!

If you want to hear the whole episode - it's number 46!!

For my 200th episode, I wanted to introduce my Podvan family... to my actual family! It's my Mum and Dad!

So, in this one, we talk about the time I was at my absolute lowest, and they drove 10 hours from Melbourne for a surprise hug I didn't even know I needed. We also finally get the story about why I went to a psychiatrist when I was three years old (what?!), and we find out what they really thought about this "Podcast from inside a caravan" idea when they first heard it. Mum's response is HILARIOUS!!!

And to you, if you're reading this, thank you. 🤗 I mean, for reading this for starters - because I don't even know if anyone does... But also for your support - and for being part of this beautiful Podvan family.

Here's to the next 200! 🎉

"If you hadn't done what you did... would you be alive right now?" 

"No."

That’s how the chat started with the incredible Jon and Nicky, and their story only gets more unbelievable from there. It's a journey that spans decades, through multiple cancer diagnoses, unbelievable heartbreak, and a mental health crisis that brought Nicky to a breaking point where she was ready to end it all.

We also talk about the crazy parallels between Jon losing his job and my own story of being let go from radio, and the simple (but controversial) lifestyle change they made that left Nicky’s doctor absolutely stunned, uttering words she had never heard in her entire life: "It's gone."

This is my longest ever episode. Hope you've got some time cleared in the schedule! I LOVED this chat - and I know you will too!

If you do enjoy it - please share it around with your friends and loved ones. I'd love for this story to hit the number of people it deserves to!
