What happens when you become the first Australian with MS to summit Mount Everest, but the biggest mountain you've had to climb has absolutely nothing to do with Everest?

I had an absolute cracker of a conversation with Jen Willis, who at 55, and living with multiple sclerosis, has done something pretty extraordinary. But as it turns out, getting to the top of the world's highest mountain was the easy part, really...

When missing oxygen, disappearing Sherpa's and unfortunate naps collide at 8,000 metres, Jen describes it as a pretty high-altitude f*ck-up. But beneath the tale of Everest, she had bigger mountains to climb... and ones I reckon we can all relate to.

Roll With The Punches is where we step into the ring and go toe to toe with the hard sh*t life throws our way.

Hosted by former boxing champ turned strength coach and speaker Tiff Cook, RWTP brings you big conversations with world-class guests about psychology, relationships, trauma, the brain, and the patterns that can make a bloody mess of our lives.

If you're curious about human behaviour, keen to challenge the stories you tell yourself, and want to understand why the hell you do what you do, you're in the right place. Tune in. Tiff's in your corner.

The goal? To question what you've always believed, understand yourself a little better, and turn those aha moments into actual change.

Because knowing better and doing better are two very different things.

And let's be honest... life's gonna keep throwing punches. We may as well learn how to roll with them.

High Altitude F*ck-Ups | Jen Willis - 1064

How many times have you not been getting the results you want and your immediate response is to do MORE? More training, more cardio, more sessions, more effort... Well, what if that's actually the lazy option?

In this solo ep, I'm having a hell of a rant about why doing more isn't always the answer, particularly when it comes to strength training for women over 40.

We get into why so many of us go back to doing the things that worked in our twenties and thirties, without stopping to consider that our bodies, lives and capacity have changed. I talk about training intensity, recovery, nutrition, stress, cardio and why sometimes two bloody hard sets will do more for you than five half-arsed ones.

The bigger conversation here is about getting honest, asking better questions and figuring out what's actually missing before throwing another workout at the problem.

Because more isn't necessarily better. And if your last rep looks like your first, we might have a little problem.

Sometimes doing more is just the lazy option in fancy dress.

Do less. Do it properly.

When Doing More Is Just Lazy Thinking | Tiff Cook - 1063

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/4f466ed5-da7c-473e-a1dd-b4f30081f16a/transcript

What happens when you break into a federal facility to retrieve your own helmet, then have to convince the bloke who runs an airline that you're not a complete liability? Well, of course our Scotty Douglas has a story for that. 

Yep, old mate's back, and as usual, we've managed to cover a ridiculous amount of ground. There's a cracker of a story involving federal police, a potentially ruined career and a $283 bottle of scotch that may or may not have helped save his arse. Seriously, you couldn't make this sh*t up if you tried...

But underneath the stories and the lols, we also got back into the whole 'hard things' conversation, why getting comfortable with being uncomfortable matters, and why the hard thing that helps you grow isn't necessarily the one you're already good at. 

Oh, and Scotty, we're still waiting for book number three. Get cracking, kid.

The Federal Offence & a Bottle of Whiskey | Scotty Douglas - 1062

Why do we sometimes push people away before they even get the chance to hurt us? And how much of what we call our personality is actually a bunch of survival strategies we picked up as kids?

I had an absolute cracker of a conversation with psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas, who just happens to be the author of Come Closer, about childhood wounds, adult relationships and the stuff we carry into our grown-up lives without even realising it.

If you're a sucker to exploring the protective patterns we develop, the stories we tell ourselves to justify our behaviours, and things like Tiff Cook's emotional avoidance, abandonment issues and other dysfunctional adaptations she's had to overcome so far (or still has a way to go with) then buckle up for the ride and hit play on this bad boy...
