We all wouldn't mind being a bit more resilient, especially given the last couple of years we have just endured.  Today I'm speaking to Nick Farr, former Victorian Police Officer and current resilience builder and adventurist. 

This episode is a co-share from The Code 9 Foundation podcast of which I've recently been given the pleasure of hosting so if you love these episodes that speak to current and former first responders then head over there and give them some love too.

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.

EP271 Building Resilience | Nick Farr

Bloody hell… this one smacked me right in the chops.

Stephen Jenkinson (my favourite guest, just quietly) is back on the show and this conversation was nothing like the others… and somehow also exactly like the others. We talked about Parkinson’s, terror, identity, regret, suffering, joy, and what happens when the bloke who helps people understand death and life gets blindsided by his own brutal reality.

There were moments in this chat where I genuinely forgot to breathe. Stephen spoke about the collapse of certainty, the illusion of control, the strange grief of losing parts of yourself while still being alive… and whether we’re actually supposed to remain the same person forever.

We got into regret, awe, suffering, old wounds, childhood survival, dancing with trembling hands, and the active pursuit of joy. Not happiness. Not comfort... Joy.

This isn’t a neat conversation with tidy answers. It’s raw, confronting, beautiful, deeply human… and as it always is with Stephen, it's honestly one of the most important chats I’ve had.

Enjoy, legends.

Life, Fragility, and the Illusion of Control | Stephen Jenkinson - 1017

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/dd8aabd0-3c44-495e-ad15-b447001c7b7a/transcript

Meet Maryellen MacDonald, she's joining me in this ep and we're talkin' about talkin'. Turns out talking isn’t just about getting words out… it sharpens how we think, helps us regulate emotions, and even slows cognitive decline. 

We got into why talking is actually hard work (even if it doesn’t feel like it), why Gen Z are low-key avoiding it, and why retirees might be losing more than just social connection when conversations drop off.

You might leave this ep feeling inclined to start naming your emotions. Not just feel them, not just react to them… actually put words to them. As simple as it sounds, generally most of us humans are pretty average at that, and learning to do so makes all the difference. 

Also… we covered journaling, self-talk, conversations with strangers that turn into something weirdly meaningful… all of it matters more than we think.

Moral of the story… stop just consuming. Start talking. Even if it’s just to yourself.

You’re Not Overthinking, You’re Under-Talking | Maryellen MacDonald - 1016

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/8bf1c845-5a9c-4bf9-b6ca-b43a005456df/transcript

A little over a year ago I sat down at my mum’s kitchen table with my Pop, Frank Cook, and recorded what would become one of the most special conversations I’ve ever had. At the time he was 101 years old... sharp as a tack, funny as hell, still telling stories and cracking jokes like a bloke half his age.

And now, after saying goodbye to him at 102 just this year, this episode is even more special... so here I am sharing it again.

Pop was born in 1924. He grew up on a farm in Tasmania when people still travelled by horse and cart, when school was too far away for many kids to attend, and long before television ever reached Australia. His father carried shrapnel in his leg from WWI, WWII broke out when Pop was just 15, and life was built on hard work, community, resilience, and character.

This is a chat with a legend of a man who made it to 102 without ever becoming bitter. A bloke who proudly said he’d made “thousands of friends and not a single enemy.” A husband, father, grandfather, sportsman, farmer, and one of the most rock-solid humans I’ve ever known.

Instead of saying "I'm sorry to lose him", I'm going to say "let's celebrate a long, happy, healthy life lived like the perfect fairytale right to his last moments. Honestly... if there’s a better way to leave this world than peacefully surrounded by family after 102 years of love & laughter... I ain't sure what it is.

I feel incredibly bloody proud to call him my Pop.

I hope ya'll love listening to his stories as much as I do.
