Podvan Podcast with Rabbit

I’ve been trying to track this man down for over twenty years.

When I was fifteen, a kind gesture changed the trajectory of my entire life. In this episode, I finally get to make the phone call I’ve been rehearsing in my head for two decades to the man who started it all. I have NEVER spoken to him - until now.

We get into the "sliding doors" moments that define a career (including a drummer who left what became an iconic Aussie band), and a health update that honestly left me speechless.

I am SO STOKED with how this played out!!!

It's a conversation about the ripple effect of kindness and why you should never wait to say thank you.

A massive thanks and welcome to Brian Hilton Wyong for jumping on board and backing the Podvan! They're sponsoring the weekly Quick Fix episodes and helping us keep on rolling down the road!

Oh, and the Podvan is getting towed around by some pretty schmikko vehicles, too! (Currently, it's the Kia Tasman. Look it up - it's awesome!)

In this episode, we're going back to when I had a whole bunch of Scouts join me for a chat at their 100th Anniversary Celebrations. (It's the most prepared anything has ever been in the Podvan). If you enjoy it and would like to hear the full episode that it comes from, just look up episode 66!

Is your body trying to tell you something while you're ignoring the signals?

I sat down with Maureen from the Cosmic Scavenger Hunt podcast for a chat that started with a crazy "small world" moment involving my hometown in New Zealand and ended up deep in the "spaceship closet." 👀

We explore her incredible transition from a 16-year corporate career to leading a soul-led business, and look into why your body rate might be spiking even when you think you're relaxed. Maureen shares the exact tool she used to stop people-pleasing and how she finally learned to trust her own internal compass.

If you've ever felt like you're just following a playbook that just doesn't fit, this conversation might be the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.

Today's Quick Fix episode is a throwback to when Tiana was 14 and Jordan was 19. (They're 32 and 63 now). This is a genuine look into behind the scenes of our family – and what our usual dinner conversation sounds like! 😆

Have yourself an awesome day! 🤗

I haven't seen Coops in 26 years and the first thing she does is bring up the time I got her kids banned from daycare! 😂

My old radio co-host from the mid 1700s was driving through the Central Coast - so she jumped into the Podvan for an overdue therapy session. We got to relive the absolute chaos of our time in Cairns back in 1999/2000. We chat about the time we faked a fight on air that caused a flood of FAXES to the station, a disastrous Brian Adams interview, and the most mortifying moment of my career. (Total accident - but sooooo bad)

Plus, Coops is now living the van life dream, so we chat about how to pull the pin on work without running out of cash.

A quick fix episode is a bit of a look back to a standout bit from an episode from around a year ago. This one takes us back to episode 61 with a few snippets from the Podvan entry into the Australian Podcast Awards!

There's some ripper stuff in here. From the tourist who didn't recognise the celebrity she was sitting right next to – to the time something was growling and clawing its way out of a long drop toilet!

A lot of laughs in this one! Enjoy :)

It's New Year's Day, we're at The Skillion at Terrigal, and despite being dressed for summer, we are absolutely freezing our butts off!

In this episode, Jules and I look at our "Word For The Year", Julie shares a brilliant analogy about rugby players and recovery - and it makes me realise that my work "jar" is completely broken.

About a year ago, I got my mechanic (Vince from All Pro Automotive) to jump in for a chat about what he thinks are the most reliable vehicles, what the Central Coast was like when he started his business over 30 years ago, and the kinds of things he's found in people's cars! 😳

It's a real fun chat and, as always with a quick fix, if you'd like to hear the full episode that this bit comes from, you can just scroll on back to episode number 62!

Have an awesome day!

I’ve decided to stop sitting on the fence.

As we head into the New Year, I’ve been thinking a lot about choosing my word (or "phrase to live by") for 2026. After months of having this one particular thing that I've been too scared to commit to, in the space of a phone call I move from 0 to 100!

I've locked in a decision that puts me completely out of my comfort zone - on soooo many levels!

In the episode, we talk about the psychology of taking these leaps, and why "waiting for the right time" is the worst thing to do.

I’m nervous, I’m technically committed, and now there's absolutely no going back! 😱

This one is about facing your nerves and finding out what happens when you finally stop thinking and start doing.

It's the last episode before Christmas and we are sitting in the car park at the Doylo...

If you're listening to this between 7 and 9am on the Monday it comes out - we're LIVE on Coast FM right now!! If not... Carry on...

In this one, I pitch Julie my genius business idea for our upcoming tour - which involves a GoFundMe page. We also chat about why her face is currently haunting drivers on the Central Coast, and Jules shares a beautiful, different way to look at work-life balance.
