Hey pal! Welcome back to I’ve Got Your Back the podcast.

🎉 Two years. 34 episodes. Over 2,000 downloads across 8 countries. 🎉

What a journey it’s been.

We’re celebrating a big milestone on the pod – and to mark the occasion, I thought it was time to flip the script and put me in the hot seat for once! For this special anniversary episode, I was interviewed by the amazing @megmcleanuk – my dear friend and host of the She Can Podcast. If you don’t already know her, go check her out. She’s a total gem.

It was also my first time recording in a professional studio (can you believe it?!). Huge thanks to Mark Edwards at @flatwhitemusic for making us feel so welcome, relaxed, and completely at ease.

In this episode, Meg and I dive into:

• How the idea for the podcast first sparked (on a bus in Sydney, of all places!)
• My very wobbly beginnings, the nerves, the handwritten scripts, and that iconic first “hey pal”
• What “I’ve Got Your Back” really stands for
• How intuition has shaped this podcast (and my life) — and what happens when we finally slow down enough to listen
• The incredible guests who’ve joined me along the way — from friends and mentors to strangers who became soul connections
• The South Africa trip that changed everything and sparked some of my favourite episodes yet
• Dreams for the future — from monetising the pod to giving back to grassroots communities doing powerful work

We also talk about fear — the kind that shows up when you're about to do something brave. We explore what it really means to take a first step (even a tiny one), the importance of asking for help, and the magic that unfolds when you just keep showing up.

This space was always about something bigger than downloads or charts. It’s about creating a place where you feel seen, safe, and encouraged to take that leap — whatever it looks like for you.

It’s for the ones who are figuring it out. For those standing at the edge of something new. For anyone who’s ever wondered, can I really do this? I promise, you can. And I’ve got your back while you do.

Whether you’ve been here since episode one, or this is your first listen — thank you. Truly. You make this all worthwhile.
