  • Episode 59 - Daniel Vincent

    Daniel is a former Australian Army soldier who dedicated 16 years to service and now champions veterans' successful transition into civilian life, notably as the Chair of Trojan's Trek and Director of Operations at Go2 Health. Our conversation explores his profound personal journey, starting from intense early deployments and sustaining a severe spinal injury that forced him to change his military path.

    Daniel's story is one of resilience and self-discovery, from fighting to stay in the Army and reinventing his career, to confronting dramatic life events that led him to a crucial moment of self-reflection.

    This chat goes to all sorts of places, from retracing history on the demanding Kokoda Track trek—which was a huge success, raising more than $100,000 for Trojan's Trek —to diving into a topic Rosie's long wanted to explore: micro-dosing and psilocybin.

    Daniel openly shares his powerful five-part psychedelic journey, detailing how it brought him a deeper connection with his family and ultimately helped him achieve an 'ego death'.

    This episode is packed with deep connections, lightbulb moments, and the beautiful philosophy that while "life has to be lived forward," we "only understand it in reverse". You'll gain both wisdom and inspiration from his amazing story!

  • Episode 57 - Hayley Boswell

    This episode of Triumph Beyond Trauma explores the inspiring work of Hayley Boswell, founder of Defence Kidz — a movement that has reached over 17,000 children from defence and veteran families across Australia. Hayley shares the personal experience that sparked her first book, the milestones in advocating for defence kids in schools, and the importance of helping children feel seen, understood, and supported.

    We also dive into the emotional realities of growing up in a defence or veteran family — the challenges of deployment, constant change, and separation — and how storytelling can help kids process and connect. From building community to influencing policy, Hayley's journey is a powerful reminder of how one idea, born from lived experience, can create meaningful change for thousands.

  • Episode 56 - Narelle Mason

    This week on Triumph Beyond Trauma, we're featuring Narelle Mason — a Level 2 registered counsellor, former South Australian Police Officer, Royal Australian Air Force veteran, and co-founder of Frontline Mental Health with Matt Newlands.

    With over 15 years of frontline service, Narelle knows the impact high-pressure roles can have on mental health, identity, and family life. After her own medical discharge, she faced the reality of rebuilding life outside of uniform while raising a child with significant needs and supporting a partner still serving.

    That journey now drives her passion for helping first responders and veterans spot the early signs of struggle, build resilience, and create healthier ways to cope.

    In this episode, Narelle shares how she and Matt are shaking things up through programs like Stress, Resilience & Functioning and the Struggle Well initiative (partnered with Boulder Crest Foundation) — designed to do more than just tick boxes, but to create real cultural change. She also opens up about her personal goals, the work she's doing on emotional growth, and why this mission means so much to her.

    Ever had something tiny — like a broken TV cable — feel like the thing that completely breaks you? In this solo episode, Rosie shares a personal story from her solo parenting days, the moment she realised stress and burnout were taking over, and how yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness became her lifeline. This isn't about replacing therapy or medication, but about adding tools that help you feel human again. Plus, a calming 2-minute reset you can try right now.

  • Episode 53 - Melissa Smith

    This week Rosie chats with long-time mate and former Police Officer Mel Smith, who opens up about the rollercoaster ride that followed her PTSD diagnosis in 2021.

    From life in the force starting at just 18, raising three kids while juggling the demands of frontline work, to navigating multiple hospital stays and the emotional chaos of identity loss — Mel shares it all.

    She talks about what it's really like to leave a career that shaped your entire adult life, the messy middle of healing, and how her podcast Mad Mel's Mic became both a lifeline and a way to help others feel less alone. We cover parenting while broken, hospital admissions, the reality of weight gain and mental illness, and why radical honesty is the most powerful tool in recovery.

    Mel doesn't sugarcoat a thing — and that's exactly why this episode hits so hard. It's one for every woman who's ever felt like she was falling apart, every former first responder trying to find their footing, and anyone needing the reminder that healing doesn't have to be polished to be powerful.

    ⚠️ Language warning & capacity note: This episode includes strong language and vulnerable themes. Please take care while listening.

  • Episode 52 - Jess Wilson

    I'm honored to chat with Jess Wilson—a nutritionist, speaker, and a powerful voice for healing through holistic health. Jess courageously shares her deeply personal journey of being repeatedly dismissed by the medical system while watching her two sons suffer from chronic illness.

    Her story is one of resilience, fierce love, and unwavering faith in her own intuition. Through years of struggle, Jess discovered how food became not just nourishment, but a lifeline—a way to heal her family's body and soul when nothing else seemed to work.

    Together, we gently explore:

    • The profound connection between trauma, stress, and gut health

    • How food can become a compassionate daily act of self-care and empowerment

    • Simple, realistic nutrition guidance tailored for first responders and shift workers facing unique challenges

    • Honest truths about protein, fiber, hormones, and navigating the complexities of perimenopause

    • What it truly means to take radical responsibility for your own healing, even when the path feels overwhelming

    If you're on your own healing journey, caring for someone who is, or longing to reconnect with your body and inner wisdom, this conversation is filled with heartfelt insights, gentle encouragement, and real hope.

  • Episode 51 - Paul Milne

    Rosie speaks with former NT Police Sergeant, mental health advocate, and author Paul Milne to talk about trauma, recovery, and the healing power of connection.

    Paul shares openly about the years he spent policing in remote Indigenous communities, the toll it took on his mental health, and the moment it all came crashing down.

    He talks candidly about his experience with PTSD, the lack of support after leaving the job, and the stigma that surrounds psychological injury—especially for men in uniform. But this episode is also full of hope. Paul shares the many tools he's explored in his recovery—journaling, breathwork, yoga, EMDR, surfing, cold water immersion, and more—and how he came to believe that healing is possible, even after hitting rock bottom.

    Now the Chair of Lived Experience Australia, a Beyond Blue ambassador, and the author of The Urgent Connection, Paul is using his voice to advocate for change and help others feel less alone.
