Straight To The Sauce

Really excited to sit down and chat with young gun, Logan Evans, for Episode 11 of the pod.

Logan has just completed Year 12 at SEDA College SA and will hopefully have his dream of becoming an AFL footballer become a reality in the coming days at the 2023 National Draft.

A talented footballer for Norwood FC in the SANFL, Logan has faced plenty of challenges in life but this has shaped him into the kind, caring, humble and hardworking young man he is today.

I'm really proud of Logan's eagerness to come on the pod and chat about life and footy, so please, have a listen and throw your support behind this impressive young man as we wish him all the best next week in the draft and for the future!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to power through another week.

No better way to start your week than listening to Extra Sauce and this week I speak about the importance of having really strong values in life. I touch on the things I value most and how it has really got me in a great place mentally.

Definitely suggest everyone doing a value audit to kind of see where they're at with life and help get some clarity and set you on a path for success.

There's a great website I mention, MindTools, to help you figure out your values. I've popped the link below for everyone to check out.

Ans hey, I've got something new I have in the works! Something I'm super keen for and I'll hopefully have some more news for you in the coming weeks. So stay tuned to socials and Extra Sauce!!

Have a wicked week everyone!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Excited to bring you episode number 10, feels like a bit of a mini milestone making it to 10 guest episodes. I'll certainly bloody take it!

Another great guest for the pod, Christiaan Meyer is a wonderful person who spends the majority of his time contributing positively to the lives of others, whether that be through his role as a mentor at Generation Youth or as the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the premiership winning Under 18's at South Adelaide FC. He is just so passionate about helping others improve themselves each day which is an amazing quality!

He is a remarkable young person with plenty of advice and wisdom, so this is a great episode for anyone out there needing some positivity and inspiration for life.

So enjoy this ep, have wonderful rest of the week and be sure to take up the challenge I set for everyone at the end of the episode.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

I've really put myself in it here! I've set myself a huge personal goal for 2024 and I can't hide from it now.

After chatting with a few close mates who love to get on the foot falcons, I've decided to challenge myself massively, so have a listen and find out what that challenge will be. And if you're keen, join me for the ride!

I hope you all have a great, take care of yourself and I'll hopefully have a guest epsiode for you all this Thursday.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Hey everyone, apologies for another late episode of Extra Sauce and apologies also for my croaky voice in this one!

Recently some amazing mates of mine, Lloyd, Butch and Tyson, wanted to catch up for breakfast and check in with me after I had a hectic week.

Really grateful for them reaching out and supporting me, and this catchup prompted me to use this week episode of Extra Sauce to discuss some strategies on how to start the conversation around mental health.

So please, have a listen, share the episode and hopefully this can help you, and others, start a open and honest conversation with a mate or loved one.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Episode 9 is here and in this one I sat down with my great mate, Bailey Turner, who is a young lad who has grown up in the country, a dual citizen of the Eyre Peninsula and the Yorke Peninsula.

In this chat there are plenty of laughs but Bailey also openly speaks about the passing of a loved one through suicide and how that has had an impact on his mental health.

Coming from a rural area where the mantra, especially for males, is usually “I’ll be right” and “just get on with the job”, Bailey casts that stigma aside as he gets extremely raw in this chat and talks about his experience of when he tried to seek professional help.

This was one of the toughest chats I’ve had in my life, Bailey showed so much vulnerability and rawness. I only hope I handled the moment with respect and made him feel comfortable.

And if you need any help or support, then be sure to reach out to your support network or the relevant support hotlines in Australia such as Lifeline and Beyond Blue. I've listed their numbers below in case you need them.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Excess screen time can be extremely detrimental to our mental and physical health. We are the most connected society in history but at the same time, we are the most disconnected as well.

This week I have wasted so much time scrolling on TikTok, Insta and Twitter. It's so easy to just put the feet up on the couch and think "ah just 10 minutes on TikTok won't hurt"... next thing ya know it's been two hours, ya eyes are cooked and you're watching videos about how to survive in the jungle with nothing but a toothpick and a sponge.

So if you regularly find yourself glued to your phone or laptop, then have a listen to hear some little tips that I try to implement to reduce my screen time and work to improve my overall health and wellbeing.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

In this weeks episode of Extra Sauce, I chat about a little strategy I implement in order to manage stressful situations and moments.

After a recent flight to Melbourne where things got a bit too bumpy, I reverted too some simple breath work to help calm me down and get me through the turbulence!

And the breathing technique I mention, picked up recently from Dyl Buckley's Book Honest Chat, may not work for everyone but is absolutely worth trying out. It certainly helped me this past week!

Have a great week guys and I'll be back next week with Extra Sauce and another guest episode!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Wow, what a fantastic guest I have for episode 8! Monique Moukachar has been a massive driving force behind the pod with her amazing graphics and artwork through her business, Inked Eclipse, that has made the show look absolutely wonderful.

Monique is someone I have been lucky to know for the past few years and I was so proud of her when she asked to sit down to record this ep during Dyslexia Awareness Week.

She talks in depth about her life and how she faced the challenges of living with dyslexia and how it made her school life difficult and how those struggles carry through into her work life today.

Really impressed with Monique showing such vulnerability with this, so please make sure you have a listen to this one and be sure to share with your loved ones!

Apologies for the late drop of Extra Sauce this week but I was absolutely buggered after a busy weekend!

This week I talk about how I keep my mental health in check by setting some weekly goals. I discuss how this helps me with keeping physically and mentally stimulated and offer some suggestions on how you can get started with something similar.

This won't work for everyone but is definitely worth giving a crack for a couple of weeks. Worst case scenario is you'll be able to look back and see that you've accomplished some great things and feel good about yourself, and that's a win!

If you have any great little strategies that you implement in your life to help with your mental health, then reach out and let me know and I can share them to the listeners in future episodes.

Cheers,

Sauce xx
