What happens when the stories we’re raised on become the shackles we need to break?

Today's guest, Dima Ghawi was born in Turkey, raised in Jordan, and is now living in the US... Her journey is one of defiance, resilience, and rebirth. From escaping an abusive marriage to shattering generational expectations (and quite literally, the metaphorical vase she was taught to be), Dima shares how she found freedom, purpose, and identity on the other side of survival.

We talked about the silent weight of shame, the power of questioning inherited norms, and what it really means to take the pen and rewrite your own story. Whether you’ve ever felt like a misfit, carried the invisible scars of conformity, or questioned who you truly are beneath the roles you've played… this one’s for you.

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.
