Roll With The Punches

Ah 2023 is off and racing full steam already… So this week Bobby and I are talking about rather than ‘goal setting’, the idea around ‘story boarding’ the year. We are asking ourselves (and you) questions such as ‘what’s missing in my life?’ and how much should we be stepping out momentarily and perhaps considering how radically we clean the slate that is our current life situation to break the limitations of perhaps things we have just cruised through life expecting.

Another thing worth reviewing are our friendships and relationships… I’m curious about the nature of love and how we connect with the people around us. Family, friends, colleagues, partners. When should we let go and walk away from friendships and relationships? And anyway, how the hell does the whole dynamic of two people having two completely different life experiences and interpretations of reality mesh together and create a relationship that can last through the individual and collective evolution that is life and humanness? Big questions to kick off the year!

I've spent my whole life grappling with bouts of insomnia. I know I'm not the only one who can lay atop their pillow feeling beyond exhausted yet wired and wide awake until the early hours of the morning. 

After decades of trial & error, research and learning I'm finding what works and what doesn't in my world, and I've had some recent wins lately. I thought I'd share then with you and maybe you can catch a few quality z's yourself this year!

Rob Mills is no stranger to putting on a show. From Australian Idol and The Singing Bee to Dancing With The Stars, Celebrity Apprentice and 5 years on Neighbours, to name a few... Australia just can't get enough of Millsy sprawled across our TV screens. 

In the world of musical theatre Millsy has starred in Grease, Hairspray, Legally Blonde, Wicked and lo and behold not only did he play Sam in Ghost, but Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar... Talk about big shoes to fill. 

Sticking with the theme of putting on a show (the name of his recently released book on manhood, mates and mental health) we talk about all things stepping on stage vs the performance we tend to fall into putting on in our everyday lives. The versions of blokeyness and what it's like for blokes in today's world to navigate what it means to be a man, where to find role models and how can we continue to open up the conversations with and for men to better connect and create social change towards better mental health and better communities.

Here we go, two epic worlds collide as we speak to Pat and Jas. Both former special ops personnel, discharged due to injuries and come together to bounce off one another over their love for (and obsession with) training assistance and attack dogs.

When we think of assistance dogs, most of us think of guide dogs. I was beyond fascinated to hear about how mental health assistance dogs are trained and very much fascinated by hearing about 'bite dogs' which is Pat's area of expertise as he trains military and police canines. 

If you LOVE dogs (of course you do) and you LOVE supporting military and first responder wellbeing (of course you do) then you'll love this episode. I sure did, thanks to The Code 9 Foundation for the opportunity!

Our girl Lisa Saygun is back and third time's a charm as we finally have the conversation I had assumed we were having on our first episode (before Lisa's incredible life story unfolded in front of our eyes). 

If you're a woman thinking about trying your hand at body building then I can tell you now, Lisa Saygun is the coach you want in your corner, and this is exactly what we are talking about today. All things body transformation and what Lisa refers to as 'the extreme sport' of body building. I love that and yes, it is an extreme sport. From amateur to pro body building, what judges are looking for and how to manage the intricate science of getting a body to do precisely what it needs to do on the very day it needs to do it (made even more challenging given the female hormonal cycle). 

Did I mention that Lisa has a history of being hospitalised for anorexia? We don't shy away from discussing the ebbs and flows of navigating what Lisa chose as a career amidst managing her eating disorder and finding a happy, healthy operating system along the way. Enjoy!

This episode was Bobby and I crawling across the finish line for 2022 recordings! Let’s be honest, there’s no one I’d rather be closing off the mic with for the year. Bobby rocked up with a gnarly haircut which kicked of the conversation around owning our appearing and how to navigate edgey looks and styles in the corporate and business environment. I definitely got the trophy on the worlds worst haircut, I’d use it for the cover image for this episode but have barely come out from the experience unscathed I’d like to very much let sleeping dogs lie on that front!!

In this episode I'm sharing with you 4 life (and business) hacks I'm implementing this year to improve my life and my operating system. Simple, yet much needed tweaks that will (and already are) paying compounding dividends when it comes to my performance, results and lo and behold, my happiness!

I'm talking about some boundaries with mobile phone use that directly affects my sleep and cognitive performance. My time and task management, very relevant for anyone who also runs their own business, works from home or juggles a number of hats (much like myself). Planning time off/away in advance, as my theory around the absolute need to step out of our life & environment to gain perspective and reassess is great but absolutely useless as theory only. And a business hack around how to allocate budget for business growth/management as a one-lady small business operation. 

Hopefully you can steal some of these hacks or the inspiration to throw some of your own in the mix.

I never get sick of speaking to first responders and emergency service workers. They were some of the humans I was most curious to learn about when I started the show and my passion and empathy for what lay beneath their journeys is as strong today as it ever was. This conversation with Keith Hanks is every bit as raw and vulnerable as they come as we speak about the generations of first responders in Keith's family and the knowledge of the trauma that sat silently beneath the surface, driving Keith to serve 21 years in the fire service before retiring due to complex PTSD. 

The persona, the anger and the family friction Keith experienced is not something of an unusual nature for many first responders, yet many are yet to experience the luxury of speaking up and getting the chance to better their relationships with themselves and their loved ones. 

Thanks Keith, you're ace!

Matt Raekelboom (what an awesome name by the way) is an ADHD influencer who boasts one hell of a following across Instagram and TikTok with just shy of 400k followers. Matt is a thought leader and ADHD life transformation expert who shares tools and strategies to help others through their 'Journey to ADHD'. 

Matt was diagnosed ADHD as a kid and bumbled his way through understanding (or perhaps misunderstanding) his brain amidst the manipulation provided by medication and substance abuse. Since then, Matt woke up one day, walked out on his relationship and (thus his current toxic operating system) and applied his hyperfocus to deeply understanding the brains functioning and what ADHD typically means for people who experience it. Matt is now medication-free and providing a hell of a lot of assistance to others out there walking a similar path to him. 

Super fun and super informative chat!

Matty Lansdown is back, shooting the sh*t. Literally! Ok, not literally 'shooting' it... but talking it indeed. I don't know about you, but I never knew of this infamous Bristol Stool Chart that is somewhat of a universal leaderboard for how brilliant our poop is performing in life. Apparently, there's a lot to learn about our overall health by having a quick squizz before we flush our mighty Bristol participant away. On that note, I had a few questions for Matty to clarify around gut health, fermented foods and creating happy, thriving colonies of bacteria inside these biological Ferraris we cruise around in. Fascinating sh*t. (ok, enough puns already).

We also unpack 2022 and what Matty refers to the hangover that it left many of us with. We talk about the disconnection and lack of human contact. The role of sport and activities that gave us a sense of belonging and community that just couldn't be replicated amidst that lockdown zoom life we adapted to!

Always a great chat with Matty!
