Karen Faith is an ethnographer, a people researcher and an empathy trainer who's recent TED Talk captured my attention, so of course I reeled her in for a chat. I guess I should have expected just how deep I might go in conversation with an empathy trainer, and that we certainly did. The idea of empathy being teachable was a fascinating enough topic in itself, yet we talk about self-awareness in relationships and having good emotional hygiene (that's a new term for me and I love it). 

As we discussed Karen's powerful TED Talk, How to talk to the worst parts of yourself, we opened the door on Karen's experience with sexual violence and how she (and I) have processed and thus chosen to be wise over being wounded from such experiences. This is yet another great chat that I hope you enjoy!

Choosing To Be Wounded Or Wise | Karen Faith - 540

In this ep, I’m joined by the one and only Mark LeBusque, a leader in leadership (pun intended), and the guy who gets to the heart of what makes us tick as humans. We dive into some big stuff (as we always do) like the stories we tell ourselves, the circumstances we think define us, and what happens when those two worlds collide.

Fresh from my recent transformational experience in India (yep, still unpacking that mountain-top magic), I couldn’t wait to pick Mark’s brain about the tricky dance between our internal narratives and external realities. Spoiler alert: there’s no one-size-fits-all band-aid for the wounds we carry. But we do have the power to write (and rewrite) our own stories.

It's typical to go into deep unchartered waters when LeBusque is on the show, but it's more typical that Mark is peeling back the layers of Tiff to see what's lurking beneath the surface. This week, we're switching seats and I'm taking the wheel on this. 

We get into why saying 'sorry' might be a sneaky survival tactic (and how to stop over-apologising)... The cognitive immune system: what it is, why it sabotages us, and how to keep it in check... Adaptive vs. forced change, and why forcing it never works... Mark’s honest reflections on burnout, balance, and the sneaky ways life knocks on your door with lessons you don’t want to learn... How gratitude, even for the hard stuff like shame, can set us free.

This is a no-filter chat about what it really means to roll with life’s punches (pun absolutely intended), and why the work we do on ourselves never really stops. Whether you’re navigating your own mountain, or just figuring out how to survive Monday, you’re going to want to tune in.

Life throws punches, but few have weathered as many as Mick Hall. From a harrowing quest through addiction, homelessness, and hitting rock bottom to 24 years of sobriety and becoming a boxing champion, Mick's story is nothing short of extraordinary. Mick shares a brutally honest account of his life... the raw pain, grit, and ultimately, the triumph that defined his path. Diving into the depths of addiction, exploring its roots, the relentless fight for recovery, and the concept of 'surrendering to win.'

Mick’s experiences are the epitome of resilience, courage, and self-discovery... lessons forged through facing his darkest moments head-on. From his first steps into a boxing ring at 44 to battling demons in and outside the squared circle, Mick's journey is as inspiring as it is humbling.

Addiction, Redemption, and Surrendering to Win | Mick Hall - 860

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/1f649d66-3352-4a45-a38e-b22500356712/transcript

Check out Moorea Friedman... a 16-year-old who is just wise beyond her years. If you’ve ever thought, 'what was I doing at 16?' brace yourselves, because if you're anything like me, you're answer might not sound anything like Mooreas.

We dive right into what it’s like growing up today, with the unique pressures of social media and all the intense comparison that comes with it. She opens up about dealing with an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression, all while juggling high school and a podcast of her own. Her show, Balancing Act: Life and Struggles of a Teenage Girl, is about creating a real, unfiltered space for teens dealing with mental health, and she’s bringing such a mature perspective to the table. I love how she talks about perfectionism and the need to be 'enough' in a world that’s constantly telling you otherwise. It’s inspiring, raw, and refreshingly honest.

Mariah shares stories about her own journey and how she’s learning to navigate all the pressures around her. There’s something so relatable in her words - it reminds me of my own journey through boxing, chasing perfection, and learning to be okay with imperfection. We talk about those tricky moments of self-reflection, identity, and how to redefine resilience when life throws you a punch (or a few). This conversation isn’t just for the younger crowd; it’s a powerful reminder to us all that being vulnerable and embracing our struggles is where real strength comes from.

So if you’re ready for a dose of teenage wisdom that might just make you rethink a few things, this episode is for you.
