The 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster stole the lives of 21 young people, including 14 Australians.  Tiffany Johnson survived..  albeit with life-long injuries. She needed to put in the hard yards to move through survivors' guilt, PTSD and yet Tiffany dug deep within herself to find the incredible grit, determination and resilience required to bring her to becoming the incredible, inspiring and fulfilled person she is today.  In todays' chat Tiff vividly recounts the moments the disaster hit, she does so with such vulnerability, clarity and emotion that you too will feel you have lived through those moments.

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.

EP18 The Swiss Canyoning Disaster Survivor | Tiffany Johnson

G’day legends, this one’s me, solo, slightly caffeinated, and fresh off a boxing session so my brain is basically still shadowboxing like a boss. I'm eager to riff on some sneaky crap that keeps punching us humans in the face and causing us to spin our wheels... Like the idea that 'success' doesn’t delete fear, self-doubt, discomfort, or imposter syndrome. We keep telling ourselves this story that once we get good enough, experienced enough, and legit enough, those feelings will pack their bags and move to Perth. Well pals, they sure do not. They renovate and they bring friends.

Basically, this ep is ya verbal permission slip to stop waiting for confidence to rock up before you move. Aaaaand it’s probably not enroute whilst you're standing still... so, off you go!

Crap That (Sadly) Doesn’t Disappear When We 'Succeed' | Tiff Cook - 995

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/37c373b2-f3db-4800-bfe8-b3fb00473a3e/transcript

I loved this one! Elaine Lin Hering is all about silence. Not the peaceful, meditative kind. The learned kind... The kind where you know exactly what you want to say… and then don’t.

We talked about why 'just speak up' is crap advice, why some of us are post-processors who realise what we think three days later, and how hinting is not the same as being clear. Apparently 'Are you hungry?' is a yes or no question. Who knew.

It’s not about saying it perfectly or getting the response you want. It’s about choice. Am I choosing to stay silent, or is silence choosing me?

And yes, we absolutely unpacked my internal rage spiral over rice... That I don’t even like. Because it’s never about the rice.

If you’ve ever swallowed something that mattered, told yourself a story instead of having the conversation, or realised three days later what you wish you’d said… this one will land.

Unlearning Silence | Elaine Lin Hering - 994

I sat down with Andrew 'Atto' Atkinson, nearly 29 years in Victoria Police and a lifetime of stories that sound like a Netflix series but come with very real scars. We talked about the covert surveillance work that had him breaking into houses, planting listening devices, tracking cars, heart racing, sometimes while the occupants were still home. High risk. High reward. Calculated, but never casual.

Then we moved into the part people do not see.

Atto was deployed as a UN peacekeeper in East Timor and Iraq. He was stabbed in East Timor and that moment set off a chain reaction. Lifelong medical complications. PTSD. Cancer. Chemo. A brain tumour diagnosis. Joint replacements. And years of complete denial because back then you just did not talk about your mental health. You punched on.

Work was his purpose, his tribe, his happy place. It was also the thing he hid behind. Leaving the job meant losing belonging, losing self, losing structure. And that loss can be brutal.

We talked about self-blame, about the 'bucket filling up' until it overflows, about how healing really began when he stopped pretending he was fine. And yesssss, we talked about Sophie, his service dog funded through DVA, trained to detect seizures five minutes before they hit. Absolute superstar.
