Roll With The Punches

The much loved Bobby Cappuccio, RWTP undisputed favourite is BACK. And don’t you worry, I have missed him every bit as much as you guys.

We talk on this episode about subconscious bias and thing subtle things in life that give us privilege over others. How often do we compare ourselves to others without taking into account those things that give them or vice versa us, a natural advantage.

As you know, Bobby has an incredible perspective on the human experience which always makes for an insightful conversation.

Enjoy!

Join me for another dive into Buddhist philolophies yet again with Gen Kelsang Dornying from the Kadampa Meditation Centre in Melbourne.

Gen Dornying one of my favourite teachers and I cannot tell you how grateful I am that he joins me to share his wisdom and ideas around life and the human experience. Gen Dornying first rolled in for a chat with us in episode 67 so if you haven’t heard that one then head over after this and lend an ear. 

Today we wrap our minds around the idea of our beliefs, navigating trauma, exploring unpleasant feelings and in a nutshell as the title suggests, how to transform our lives through teachings of Buddhist philosophies. 

I hope you love this every bit as much as I did.

Absolutely pumped to bring ya'll this episode on psychedelic medicine with Dr Alana Roy.

She brings to the table the story of her own Ayahuasca experience, a last straw when the chips were down and it was the flip of a coin between a trip to the psych ward or a trip to Peru to visit a Shaman. Alana chose the latter and thus catapulted herself head first into healing, evolving and wrapping her professional arms around psychedelic medicine for her own practice.

Alana shares not only this experience with us but her story of (all too common) childhood and adolescent trauma brought about by sexual abuse and violence. Along with her work in some pretty intense areas of social work and counseling.

Mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, drinking tobacco (which is toxic to ingest, might I add) it's all covered in this episode!

A brilliant conversation and I cannot wait for you guys to hear, I know it's going to be a hit and I can't wait to see psychedelic medicine progress for trauma survivors.

Brains matter. According to Dr Kim Gorgens who joins me today to unpack all matters of brain health, damage, recovery & function.

As a competitive boxer, occasional insomniac and teenage binge drinker along with a handful of other black marks against healthy brain development along the way I dare say Dr Kim Gorgens left me rethinking (with watch functional cells I have left) some of the experiences I have had in life.

As a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist Doc Gorgens has spent years researching, speaking and teaching around the area’s of youth sport concussion, neurorehabilitation, brain injuries and the criminal justice system, to name a few. In this podcast we talk lot about what we should be aware of when it comes to contact sport, childhood trauma, exercise and brain health – I LOVED this conversation, wouldn’t have minded having it a good 3 decades ago though.

Enjoy!

1 in 3 women experience sexual abuse, that's what Dr. Donna Lyon told me in this conversation. (congrats on the shiny new PhD Doc)

Donna and I met recently and in some ways we both felt at times like we were sitting in front of a mirror. Hearing our story relayed to us as someone else told it as their own, in a way. So very similar, so very different.

Two women who had been the 1 in 3. Two women who had suppressed it beyond awareness and acknowledgement until the seam holding it all in ruptured and no longer could it remain hidden.

Dr. Donna Lyon is an academic, a writer, a producer, a survivor and for many of us, a conduit for healing from childhood trauma. 

Left / Write // Hook is her workshop, her book and her documentary.  It is the amalgamation of creative writing and boxing for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The book is made up of the pieces of writing to prompts from the brave and beautiful participants. Participants who opened their hearts and their mouths to speak up (for the very first time). Free to share their stories and their feelings without censorship and without judgement, so they can loosen their grip on the guilt, shame and disgust and move into some healing, hope and happiness.

Donna's story is one of extreme trauma. We do not discuss explicit details, though Donna shares her feelings and consequential experiences with complete vulnerability and honesty and for 1 in 3, naturally this may be triggering. If this is you, please reach out for whatever means of support is right for you.

Doc, thank you for this conversation and for all that you stand for. You matter.

She’s dominated multiple sports and represented Australia on the world stage in 3 of them, breaking barriers, breaking records, breaking so called medical truths.

She’s survived suicidal times and reincarnated herself into the Cindy-Rella fairytale she dreamed to be.

If you watch Wentworth you’d have seen her in the crew with vibrant red hair, half a shaved head and a skin canvas full of art. And when you listen to her here you’ll wonder how that could be the same person.

Cindy and I came face to face as training buddies in my very first boxing event and it has been an incredible journey to watch her over the last 10 years…

Karate, Ironman, Kettlebells. Is there anything this girl can't do?!?

537 days of ICE-olation… meaning David Knoff recently returned from quite the adventure living in Antarctica for well, as it turned out, a hell of a lot longer than anticipated.

From ice-olation to isolation David has faced uncertainty and adversity in conditions that would send literal chills down most of our spines. No stranger to conflict zones with his background in the Australian Amy, David was the station leader of the Australian Antarctic Program. 

Stick around to hear about life as many of us sure don’t know it... 1m Emperor Penguins, driving on ice, 5 years of toilet paper and of course, returning to a world that sure wasn't how he left it 537 days before.

Enjoy!

Jason Nelson is a bit of a weapon and we got along like a house on fire! A Royal Navy Veteran and former UK and WA Police Officer, Jason lives with PTSD, Depression and Anxiety.  He is a suicide attempt survivor, a father to a suicide attempt survivor and he is a childhood sexual abuse survivor. Dubbing his current life ‘iJason 2.0 Resilience Reboot’, Jason reached into the old therapy bucket and pulled out an array of conventional therapies and treatments along with creative outlets such as poetry and art. He is a fellow boxing coach and an open book… two things I greatly admire. Thanks Jason for vulnerability in sharing this with us.

We love a story of… I didn’t think I could, but then I did don’t we.

Well that’s how miss Alexandra Andre ended up striding across the Iron Man finish line.

Fueled by a little Dutch courage and cheeky ego, Alexandra Andre took the bait on committing to a marathon one night out. Not the type of caper you'd assume might see someone actually finish a race... let alone go on to finish an Iron Man too! A story of finding a purpose bigger than one's self. A story of listening to and low and behold, even speaking to one's own body. A story of doing what was once thought impossible, this is an epic conversation that offers so many gold nuggets along the way.

If running a marathon or completing an Iron Man (heck, maybe your Iron Man is a couch to 5km) but if it's on your seems-impossible-but-I-wish-could list then THIS is the episode for you.  Oh, and if having a child in a non-conventional way as a single mother is also on your seems-impossible-but-I-wish-could list then THIS is definitely the episode for you.
