Straight To The Sauce

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend and are getting through the day nicely!

In this week's episode I wanted to re-visit past conversations where I have talked about daily journaling and how that has an impact in my life.

I have written 3 or 4 times so far this year and last week I finally added journaling back into my daily routine and can already for the positive change it has had on my mental health.

I highly recommend giving it a go and if you have any questions on how to get started, my DM's are always open to anyone and everyone.

Cheers,

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are all having a nice morning and had a nice weekend as well! We had Gather Round here in Adelaide and wow, what an event! Such an awesome vibe and I honestly think that it's the best sporting event in the country. If you're tossing up whether you should come to Gather Round in 2025, just do it. You won't be disappointed!

On to today's episode, I've been reading a wonderful book recently called The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle.

This is an excellent read if you're a sports coach or a leader in your work. It touches on how to create a sense of belonging for those you coach or lead and has real world examples as it delves into organisations such as the San Antonio Spurs, Google and Pixar

I highly recommend this book if you're wanting to improve as a coach or leader. I'll drop the link to where you can purchase.

If you give it read, would love to hear your thoughts and some of the key takeaways that you found. So drop me a message if you read it!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Had a week off from Extra Sauce last week, but I'm back!

I hope you all had a nice Easter long weekend and went crazy on the choccies yesterday. I certainly did!

In this weeks episode, I chat about the support of a great mate as well a new side project that I have setup over the weekend.

Xav Wagner Photography is a new page I have started as an extra outlet to express myself. I've enjoyed learning about photography this past 10 or so months and have decided to start sharing some of my snaps with you all.

So if you would like to follow my learning journey, feel free to give me a follow and see what I'm getting up to!

Also, if you have a hobby or something you would like to try... just fucken give it a go. Cast aside the fear of failure or fear of judgement from people who have never tried anything in their lives, and fucken give something new a go!

I'm tired. Exhausted. Mentally, I've been struggling these past few weeks.

And after some self-reflection over the past 48-hours, I've decided to take a break.

I'll still produce the weekly episodes of Extra Sauce but for the next 6 weeks, I'll take a break from the guest episodes.

I'll be back better than ever in 6 weeks with a new guest episode on Thursday, 2 May.

So until then, be sure to check in on your mates and loved ones and take it easy.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend and are having a great start to your week.

In this weeks episode of Extra Sauce, which was another one done on the road, I chat about how it's good to set lofty goals but it is also really important to be proud of the fact you keep showing up.

It's not possible to be at your best every day, so don't get down on yourself when you have an off day and instead, celebrate all the small wins you achieved and the fact you showed up.

Keep showing up. Celebrate the small wins and that big win will naturally come your way sooner than you think.

Have a great week!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you've been having a fun and safe long weekend and been able to escape the heat!!

In this episode, I just wanted to share some information about the Tyson Bale Memorial Match which is being played this coming Saturday, 16 March 2024 in country Victoria.

I know of Tyson's story through my partner and also through Jack Symes who was a guest on the pod just after xmas last year. Jack of course works for Mindfull Aus and they worked with the Bale family to create the Tyson Bale Memorial Fund, and the match is played annually to aid in raising money for this fund.

So please, tune into this episode and learn more about the fund and what it has been created for and throw your support behind this cause. I've put all the links below as well!

And please check in on your mates and loved ones, start having those meaningful conversations.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Guest episode number 19 is here and it's one I've been trying to get done since September last year, so I'm pumped to have finally sat down with Daniel Kwaterski for this episode!

Daniel is just your typical aussie guy that is from the country. He was always the life of the party. Having a good time, making everyone laugh and always smiling.

However, that was all a mask.

Underneath that, Daniel was struggling with significant mental health battles and it got to a point where he thought he could no longer be on this earth. If weren't for the words of a friend which led him to seeking professional health, Daniel's story may have gone untold.

Since working through his personal struggles, Daniel has been a shining light in the community, helping to raise awareness for mental health and also raising close to $20k for Mindfull Aus in 2023. Daniel did this by completing the Pichi Richi Marathon, and then continuing to run an extra 58km's to crack the 100km mark!

Daniel is a seriously good human who has been through some extremely challenging times and he is someone we should all look to for inspiration.

Please listen to this chat, share it around to spread awareness and let's all start opening up to each other and having meaningful conversations.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Good Morning and happy Monday! Hope you all had a nice weekend and a productive week last week.

I tell ya what, I am battling to get up in the mornings at the moment. This change in sunrise has me cooked. I was in a good routine for a few weeks there and now I can't get out of bed before 6am.

If anyone out there has any advice on how to wake from their morning slumber at the moment, slide into my DM's!!

Enjoy this week's quick yarn, recorded on my drive to work using my wireless mic's. Slowly figuring out the audio quality with these, always great fun learning this craft!

Have an awesome week and I'll catchya on Thursday with a new guest episode!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a nice weekend and are having a nice start to your week so far.

For this week's episode of Extra Sauce, I took the show on the road and headed into PEAQ Performance in Port Adelaide with my boi Jed Banwell.

Just a quick disclaimer, first time using my wireless mics to record an episode, so don't shoot me for the audio quality but I just wanted to try something different this week!

Jed and I jumped in the ice bath at PEAQ which is a wonderful way to look after your body and kickstart your week.

I highly recommend giving something like this a go, I feel bloody unreal at the moment!

Also, I am doing a little giveaway this week which I mention at the backend of this episode. So have a listen for that and get involved, do something challenging and have an awesome week!

Cheers,

Sauce xx
