Say a spritely hello to the cat amongst the medical pigeons, Professor Ian Harris. A lively presence in his field, Ian is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery who was inclined to tuck the scalpel in the back of the drawer and instead pose what is proving to be a pertinent question: 'Do these surgeries offer more than just a placebo effect to one's recovery?'

Knee arthroscopies, back fusions and cardiac stenting are amongst the common procedures in question with the Prof, yet in our chat, Ian sheds light not just on the lack of evidence around their efficacy, but also highlights the potential risks and adverse consequences. Sure, the placebo effect may have its merits, but is it justifiable against the recovery time, expense and discomfort associated with these invasive surgeries?

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.

Surgery, The Ultimate Placebo | Professor Ian Harris - 679

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.

Do It BEFORE You're Ready | Holly Bailey - 1026

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/0446e474-f90b-4722-8a3e-b464007e3bd2/transcript

In this episode I sit down with Professor Linda Byrne, clinical neuropsychologist and Dean of the Cairnmillar Institute, to unpack what’s going on in the world of psychology, neuropsychology, mental health care, and the messy intersection of labels, titles, coaches, influencers, algorithms, and self-diagnosis floating around out there.

We get into the difference between psychologists, neuropsychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, and coaches, which is handy because, let’s be honest, the mental health world can feel like a word salad with a Medicare rebate attached at times, aye.

Linda also explains the proposed changes to psychology training in Australia and why she’s worried that trying to pump out more psychologists faster might actually backfire. More access sounds great, obviously, but not if we end up lowering training standards, losing experienced providers, or still failing to get psychologists into the rural and regional areas where they’re desperately needed.

Then we wander, as I do, into ADHD, neurodiversity, social media diagnosis, algorithmic nonsense, learned helplessness, labels, identity, and whether a diagnosis becomes wings for freedom or an anchor that keeps us stuck.

It’s a really thoughtful, nuanced chat about reform, responsibility, self-awareness, and the importance of not outsourcing our entire sense of self to a reel that says “five signs you’re definitely ADHD.” Bloody algorithms, mate. Always stirring the pot.

More Mental Health Support, Less Training? Australia’s Risky Trade-Off | Linda Byrne - 1025

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/e6a05f3a-84ce-4054-9c80-b464007df36f/transcript

In this solo riff I’m unpacking the wonderfully chaotic, occasionally brilliant, sometimes slightly questionable world of ideas. You know, the ones that arrive like a lightning bolt and suddenly I’m building a program, launching a thing, reimagining my whole life and wondering if everyone else is watching going, “Here she bloody goes again.”

But this one is really about knowing yourself. Knowing when an idea has legs, when it needs to be parked, when quitting is actually wisdom, and when the fear of how something looks from the outside is getting in the way of what’s true for you.

I talk about creativity, consistency, business, Ten Rounds With Tiff, the new strength coaching idea I’m building, and why sometimes the thing you stopped doing wasn’t a failure at all. It was just part of the weird little puzzle that comes back later and fits somewhere you couldn’t see yet.

It’s a chat about saying yes quickly, saying no quickly, letting things evolve, and not white-knuckling your way through something just to prove you’re gritty.

Because life’s not a straight line, thank fark. It’s a strange little treasure hunt, and sometimes the thing you think you quit is actually still working quietly in the background.
