Roll With The Punches

Being around negative people can have quite an impact on us and in a lot of cases it can be good advice to give them a wide berth for the sake of our own energy or peace of mind. But what if this person is someone you deeply care about and don't necessarily want to steer clear of? Can we positively influence them? If we can, should we? Is our intention for them or for us? How can we co-exist with negative people without impacting on our own mental health and wellbeing? Bobby and I share some ideas around this topic, I hope you find it useful!

So I did a weird thing. Ok it's probably not that weird, but it was for me. Turns out I loved it though... I usually do when I scoot right out of my comfort zone and do un-Tiff-like things!

Michaela Boehm joined us on the show in episode 520 talking about sex, love and embodiment and it was a ripper of an episode. Afterwards she invited me to attend her workshop when she came to Australia in early March, so I did. It's fair to say that calling it 'Awakening The Pleasure Body' was enough to have me mildly concerned about what 'activities' we would be doing for the day. I guess you'll have to tune in and listen to find out what happened next.

It's not often one might utter a sentence containing both 'professional chocolate dealer' and '20 years of binge-eating and Bulimia' in reference to the same person. But hey, today that's precisely what I'm doing. 

Recently Shari Aubrey single-handedly transformed my relationship with chocolate forever at her Fiamma chocolate and cocktail pairing event. I'm a self-confessed chocoholic so she was speaking my language from the get-go, though within what felt like moments of meeting, Shari cracked the door open to shed some light on her history around debilitatingly disordered eating and a few of her assorted life chapters. So here we are meandering through some of those experiences and exploring some of the potential hows and whys behind circumstances and outcomes along the way. 

We've all got a story, sometimes several, and it's one of my greatest loves to indulge in conversations like this one with Shari, what a blessing she's open to letting you guys take a seat in the RWTP lounge and listen in.

Get ready, because we have the 'Swiss army knife of humans, Gary Wilson back for some more entertaining conversation! He was our first guest on the show, and I vividly remember the excitement I felt in June 2020 as I sat down with him to record the first of many episodes. We joked back then that he would return for episode 500 (while mocking our own sarcasm), but lo and behold, we are now on episode 549, and Gary is once again gracing us with his presence.

For those who need a quick reminder, Gary is a former member of Victoria Police's Special Operations Group, bomb squad, and a bodyguard for various celebrities, including Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, and the royal family. He is also known by many names, such as '007,' 'Flipper,' 'Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up,' and 'Simon the likable.' Not only is he a formidable human with an impressive set of skills and stories, but he also has an infectious personality that can light up a room and make people laugh within seconds (although he occasionally gets me in trouble in workshops like a mischievous school kid).

In this episode, we'll hear more tales from Gary about how he navigates his colorful life, manages himself and his mind, and keeps himself going. Additionally, I've asked him the question that's been on everybody's lips: "Hey Flipper, how on earth did you manage to snag yourself a Victoria's Secret model to marry?" It's another fantastic story that I can't wait to share with you!

Staying positive in a negative world can be challenging, but it is essential for our mental and emotional well-being. One effective approach is to focus on gratitude and cultivate a positive mindset, however Bobby and I raise the question around if and at what point positivity can actually have a negative impact on resilience? What is the impact of our expectations? And, how acceptance of circumstances plays a part in our self-management along the way. 

There are all sorts of tools and strategies such as mindfulness, positive self-talk, and surrounding yourself with good humans. By adopting these, we can learn what works for US individually when it comes to navigating the negativity in the world while maintaining a positive outlook on life.

The concept that how you do one thing is how you do everything has always landed with me. Perhaps that's why I gained so much insight, self-awareness, and the ability to grow and evolve from the metaphorical mirror that the boxing ring held up to my face. Similarly reinforced by my experience with podcasting. These two arenas provided me with a platform for self-improvement and encouraged me to examine my own thinking, beliefs, and behavior.

Have you identified your own self-development 'playground' and learned how to leverage it? I'm super passionate about this as it has proven to be simply invaluable in my own life. Here are a few thoughts and ideas that I have on the subject.

It all started at 12 years old. From Anorexia, as each mental health diagnosis got snubbed out and replaced with another, right through to Bipolar 1, Sarah Fay was strapped in to ride a 2.5 decade mental health rollercoaster as she grappled with understanding the labels, wrestled with suicidality and navigated life from a very narrow lens that never once offered any hope of ‘recovery’.  Sarah is now an award-winning author, creative writing teacher and keynote speaker who is living proof that healing from mental illness is available to everyone.

We explore the pros and cons of mental health terms and labels and share ideas on how our relationship with our stories and circumstances can greatly affect our mental health. It’s fair to say I immediately dubbed Sarah as my newest podcast bestie and could have kept talking with her for hours. I hope you enjoy this conversation and Sarah’s perspectives as much as I did.

LeBusque is back and he's luring me into the metaphorical boxing ring with him! Ok I'm kidding, he's not really... but in true Mark LeBusque form he's nudging a few of my buttons over here (I wholeheartedly welcome) to test how rigid or perhaps bullshitty my stories might be (possibly... but possibly not). Cos that's what great friends who really want to see you grow do. 

We talk about how humans are a bag of meat full of stories (Marks definition, and I'm stealing it) and how the language we use is absolutely crucial to be aware of. 

Mark has a sneaking suspicion that there's some sort of 'evolution of Tiff Cook' happening... that's pretty bloody exciting, I hope he's right!

JJ Flizanes is one of those humans who I simply love having the opportunity to draw wisdom and insight from. She's an Empowerment Strategist who works with conscious, spiritual truth seekers who want to remove emotional blocks to success, helping people identify sabotaging patterns and transmute struggle into joy... Sounds bloody good to me!

I'm getting down to business in today's chat to discover her thoughts around the hard-hitting questions, like 'Hey JJ, what is LOVE?' (yep, time to figure out the big ones). Fate vs free will, consciousness vs awareness, how we self-sabotage and hey, how do we help people (or ourselves) stuck in a victim mentality?

If you're curious around any of this, come on and tune in!
