Michelle Lee is EXTRAORDINARY. She's an everyday life-enthusiast who's achieved remarkable feats in ocean rowing, being the first Australian woman to solo row any ocean. In her chat with me today she shares her experiences rowing across the Atlantic in 2018, a challenging 68-day voyage, followed by the even crazier solo row across the Pacific Ocean in 2022, a quick trip that took a mere 240 days... No assistance whatsoever, encounters with sharks, and a plethora of challenges, like running out of chocolate WAY too soon which sure isn't a selling point in my books!

As a fitness enthusiast but, as Michelle describes herself, not a natural born athlete it's her mindset, philosophies and attitude that landed with me most in this chat. I absolutely loved this chat as we riffed on embracing challenges, managing fear and anxiety, and the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone.

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.
Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.

Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:

What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?

We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.

We’re built to break.
And we become dangerous by design.
Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.

240 Days Alone at Sea | Michelle Lee - 768

This chat started with plenty of laughs before we even hit record, but it quickly turned into one of those conversations that reminds you what real friendship actually looks like. Mike and I unpacked why making genuine friendships as adults is so bloody hard, how easy it is to let relationships drift without ever saying what we're really thinking, and why communication matters far more than most of us realise.

We also wandered into some really honest territory around belonging, gratitude, giving feedback, accepting praise (something I clearly still struggle with), and the stories we tell ourselves about success and failure. Mike shared one of the most powerful lessons from losing his legs and how embracing, rather than hiding, what happened changed the way he saw himself forever.

It's a conversation about friendship, identity, resilience, and the courage to tell the people in your life that they matter. Plus, plenty of completely unnecessary tangents, sarcasm, and evidence that some of the best conversations happen when there's absolutely no plan.

Finding Your People as a Grown Up | Mike Rolls - 1028

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/aef8baea-0d6a-4cd4-b7be-b4750034fff1/transcript

This ep started with Craig giving an unsolicited TED Talk on fibre, psyllium husk and bowel movements... and somehow ended with us talking about grief, emotional avoidance, ageing parents, self-awareness and what it actually means to process life's hard stuff.

It's perhaps one of the most honest chats I've had in a while as I shared some of the things I've been wrestling with lately... losing a client to suicide, watching people age, and the weird gap between understanding what's happening intellectually and actually feeling it emotionally. Harps, (fortunately for me) had plenty to say about grief, fear, empathy, self-regulation and the difference between knowing something and actually living it.

It's a conversation about being human. About not always getting it right. About carrying things we don't fully understand yet. And about trying to show up well when life feels messy, complicated and a little bit uncomfortable.

Also, if you're struggling to poo, Harps has some advice for that too.

Emotional Constipation | Harps & Cook - 1027

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/ad02b3e6-ed0c-4b91-86e4-b46c00338a0d/transcript

In this episode I sat down with the bloody brilliant Holly Bailey, founder of Play Like A Girl, and honestly, this one felt like watching a mate realise she’s not just building a 'thing' anymore. She’s building (and built) a movement.

We talked about her recent corporate golf day event, the surreal moment of seeing her work reflected back through other people’s pride, and the weirdness of sitting inside something enormous while still feeling like the little human behind the curtain trying to keep the wheels on.

Holly shared where Play Like A Girl really began, from her own moment in netball when a coach basically held up a mirror and showed her she had been limiting herself, to the years of workshops, networking, advisory boards, scholarship models, commercial conversations, self-doubt, learning curves, and “do it before you’re ready” moments that turned a passion project into a national community.

We got into sport, leadership, identity, confidence, women backing themselves, and the bigger idea that sport is not just about medals, winning, or being the best little weapon on the field. It’s about belonging. Confidence. Resilience. Connection. Learning who the hell you are.

And how... "Girls who play sport become women who lead." BOOOM!

Bloody ripper of a chat with a woman I am VERY proud to call a mate.
