We Are Winging It

This week on Winging It we talk about ADHD, music, and the chaos of figuring yourself out. Chris opens up about how his ADHD medication unlocked his creativity and led to what he calls the best song he’s ever written. Lisa shares her experience of starting antidepressants, why it first made her feel like a failure, and how she’s learning to give herself a break.

It’s real, funny, emotional, and everything you’d expect from us.

Chris and Lisa are back with another very real, very chaotic episode of Winging It. This week, they talk about the dark side of reality TV after a contestant from Married at First Sight received death threats, and how online hate can spiral out of control. Lisa opens up about a rough mental health day, Chris talks about rejection in relationships, and somehow they still end up laughing about the time Lisa tried to put the kettle in the fridge.

It is honest, funny, emotional, and exactly what Winging It is all about – real life, real talk, and a lot of coffee.

Nicole Dyer is 18, creative, kind, and living with Tourette’s Syndrome — but that’s only part of her story. In this raw and refreshingly honest episode, I sit down with Nicole and her brilliantly blunt mum Jodie to talk about life beyond the tics.

We cover everything: what a tic attack really feels like, the misconceptions they face daily, how social media has been both a lifeline and a battleground, and why Nicole refuses to let Tourette’s define her.

From airport security scares to unwanted prayers, whistling birds to online hate, this episode is packed with laughs, jaw-drops, brutal truths, and a powerful bond between mum and daughter. Jodie’s sarcasm is razor-sharp, Nicole’s openness is inspiring, and their relationship is something really special.

If you’ve ever misunderstood Tourette’s — or want to know what true resilience looks like — this one’s for you.

Trigger warning: Includes honest discussions around mental health, self-harm, and bullying.

How I De-Red Pilled My Own Son

The Peer Project Podcast

When Rachel Parker’s 11-year-old son told her “women are gold diggers,” she knew something was wrong.

In this powerful episode, Rachel opens up about how the internet — and the algorithm — exposed her son to red pill ideology, and how she slowly, gently, and bravely brought him back.

We talk about:

•Red pill content and the damage it causes

•What parents need to know about the algorithm

•Raising emotionally safe boys

•How connection, not control, changes everything

This is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone who cares about the next generation of boys.
