In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Resource Podcast, host Becky Felstead sits down with Vicky Pellowe, founder of The FIFO Family Project, to unpack the hidden emotional reality of FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) family life. 

Vicky shares her personal journey through FIFO work, parenting, post-natal depression, migration, and surviving stage-four cancer, and how these experiences led her to create a national support network for FIFO families. Together, Becky and Vicky explore the unspoken struggles of partners at home, the pressure on relationships, isolation, mental health challenges, and the devastating gaps in support when tragedy strikes.

This episode also dives into:

• The emotional toll of FIFO on children and partners
• Why connection matters more than communication
• Post-natal depression in FIFO families
• Relationship resentment, burnout, and survival
• Why “money alone” is never enough
• The importance of community, support systems, and prevention
  
  

This is an essential listen for anyone living the FIFO lifestyle — or supporting someone who is.

Becky used to believe helping everyone else meant she was a good person.
Turns out, her “selfless” martyrdom was the exact thing drowning her in $50,000 of debt.

In this raw solo episode of the Resource Podcast, Becky gets real about:

• Growing up being told “it’s rude to talk about money”
• Why high-earning miners still live paycheck-to-paycheck
• The one piece of advice that helped her pay off 50 grand in just ONE year
• How she went from ignoring spreadsheets to checking her money weekly
• The mindset shift from “money is evil” to “money is empowering”
• Why we’re never taught basic budgeting in school (and what she’s doing about it)
• The exact moment she dropped her pride, got a job, and put her own oxygen mask on first

If you’ve ever felt trapped by money, ashamed of your bank balance, or like you’re paddling like crazy just to stay afloat—this episode is your wake-up call.

Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more money coming in.
You need more power over the money you already have.

At 20, Rose became a stepmum. At 21, she was pregnant. At 6 weeks postpartum, she showed the world her nappy-wearing, milk-leaking, “gross” body — and changed lives.

• Growing up “big mouth” in a traditional family
• Sharing her assault story → 600 women breaking silence in her DMs
• Postpartum lows, perimenopause libido crashes, and fighting in front of the kids
• Why “trauma made me funnier, not stronger”
• Teaching consent, periods, and self-worth to daughters 4, 6, 14 & 17

In this deeply raw solo episode, Becky Felstead courageously opens up about the three pregnancies that changed her life forever—two she chose to terminate because she didn’t feel “good enough” to be a mother, and one devastating ectopic pregnancy that forced her to face years of grief, shame, and societal pressure.

At 39, Becky reflects on how rushing to meet timelines, fearing judgment, and tying her worth to being in a relationship led her to choices she now sees through the lens of healing. She shares the turning points that finally helped her release guilt, stop caring what others think, and trust that the right love—and motherhood—will come when she’s truly ready.

This isn’t just a story about loss. It’s a powerful conversation about self-worth, radical responsibility, and why there’s truly no rush to hit society’s milestones.

If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or terrified of being judged—this episode is your permission slip to slow down, choose yourself, and trust your timing.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses childhood abuse and suicide ideation. Please listen with care.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to Lifeline (13 11 14 in Australia) or local crisis support.

In this deeply moving conversation, Becky sits down with JP, a FIFO worker and father, who opens up about surviving childhood abuse, losing his father, and facing his darkest moments as an adult.

At just 14, JP walked out of his family home after years of emotional and physical abuse. Years later, battling depression and suicidal thoughts, he found hope in unexpected places — through the love of his wife, his kids, and a group of men who weren’t afraid to say, “Love you, bro.”

Together, Becky and JP unpack:

• How childhood trauma shaped his adult life and relationships
• The silent battles men face with mental health
• What it really takes to break generational patterns
• How community and vulnerability can literally save lives

This episode is a reminder that opening up doesn’t make you weak — it makes you human.

When resilience becomes survival, what does it cost you?

At eleven, Aaron Rigg lost his best mate.
Years later, he lost his business when his partner was arrested.
He buried himself in work, success, and silence — until it all caught up with him.

In this raw episode of The Resource Podcast, host Becky Felstead sits down with Aaron, founder of Untapped Resources, to strip back the polished version of success and explore what really happens when life unravels.

They dive into:
 💬 Grief, shame, and burnout
 💬 Leadership, fatherhood, and control
 💬 The pressure men feel to “just push through”
 💬 The quiet moments that changed everything

This isn’t just about resilience — it’s about what happens when you stop running from yourself, and how one man turned every breakdown into a blueprint for growth.

What if menopause is a super power?! 

Grace Malloy speaks the truth that most women only whisper behind closed doors: the silent chaos of perimenopause, the quiet rage that builds when no one explains what’s happening, and the freedom that comes when you stop apologising for who you are. 

04:22; "I thought I was losing my mind. Turns out it was perimenopause."
 10:45 "I'm a super hero even when your hormones are a mess."
 18:30"If we taught women what to expect, they’d stop thinking they’re broken."
 26:12 "Menopause made me bolder. Sharper. Louder. I’m not sorry for it."
 31:44 "The ticking clock. The shame. The silence. Enough."

Whether you're in it, approaching it, or love someone going through it,  this episode will crack something open.

Menopause isn’t a breakdown.It’s an uprising.

What if the stories you tell yourself about love, conflict, and connection are the very things holding you back?

In this episode, James “Fish” Gill gets real about the messy truths we avoid and shows how leaning into them can transform the way you love, lead, and live. You’ll be challenged to:

• Rethink whether your relationships are genuine partnerships or just “contracts of convenience”
• Ask if you’re more loyal to your pain than to the people you care about
• Notice how easily we slip into victim and villain roles without realising
• Spot when “boundaries” or “healing language” are actually used as weapons
• Understand why conflict isn’t the end of connection but the price of admission to it

Everyone walked in with a different story.
Childhood stuff. Relationship breakdowns. Addictions. Secrets.

But as they started to speak, one thing became clear, the weight felt the same.

What you’ll hear in this episode isn’t people trying to fix each other.
It’s people being honest about what they’ve been carrying some for the first time. 

And that honesty?

That’s where things start to shift.

Most people try to fix things by adding more.
More pressure. More pretending. More performance.

This live event was the opposite.

It was an undoing. 
 Of roles.
 Of shame.
 Of needing to “have it all together.”

And if you're ready for something real, you’ll hear yourself in every story.
