Mel Knuckey jumped on to share a hell of a story. Tasmanian mum of two. Community worker. Sleepless for weeks. Misdiagnosed. Admitted. ECT to survive. And the part that lit both of us up... no one checked perimenopause until a therapist suggested it. Mel gets raw about the psych ward, the guilt, the rebuild with her kids, and the power of HRT to pull her back to herself. This one is about self-advocacy, stigma, and why we need our blokes, our GPs, and our mates across what perimenopause actually looks like. It’s heavy, hopeful, and practical. Mouthguard in.

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.

Perimenopause Misdiagnosed: From Psych Ward to HRT | Mel Knuckey - 946

Part two with Dr. Carrie Jones and yet again, this one hit the mark. We talked about the part of perimenopause no one prepares you for, the motivation drop, the mood shifts, the weight gain that shows up even when you 'haven’t changed anything,' and the identity wobble that makes you question your own operating system.

Carrie broke down what’s actually happening under the hood. Hormones influencing energy, fat loss, recovery, brain chemistry, sleep, joints, even why frozen shoulder seems to love menopausal women. We unpacked intermittent fasting, why so many women burn out chasing male health advice, and how stress, underfueling, and overtraining quietly wreck us in midlife.

We also got practical. HRT, testosterone, longevity, labs to ask for, iron being criminally overlooked, and why you’re not broken or weak for struggling. This episode is equal parts science, permission, and a reminder that your body isn’t failing you, it’s asking you to play by new rules.

Reverse Puberty: The Perimenopause Reckoning | Dr. Carrie Jones - 979

Seven years ago Jay Stevens was in a helicopter that plummeted from the sky at Uluru. He fell out of the sky from about 120 metres, shattered his body, ended up with a spinal cord injury, and spent months in hospital and rehab. And instead of making peace with 'that’s it,' he went full mad scientist on his own recovery, obsessively training, visualising, rebuilding pathways, and stacking tiny process wins until he took his first steps FOUR years later.

We talk chosen suffering, the hard we pick vs the hard that picks us, and why comfort is the sneaky little thief of progress. We get into the emotional side too, the grief he buried, the PTSD, EMDR, and how he learned to talk himself through the worst memories. This is one of those chats that makes you sit up and go, 'Yeah righto… I’ve been negotiating with myself a bit too much.'

Chosen Suffering | Jay Stevens - 978

After Bruce recently joined me for another ah-mazing chat, I thought ya'll might appreciate a throwback to our first conversation on the show... So, here ya go... Enjoy!

Is dissociation actually a superpower that's been given a bad rap?

Why does trauma make some memories so vivid, yet lock others away in a seemingly inaccessible vault?

Can how we view our story determine whether we experience post-traumatic growth vs post-traumatic stress disorder?

Did you know it takes as little as a 10-minute traumatic experience at a very young age to permanently change brain biology? Meaning those babies turn into adults whose brains function very differently when it comes to processing stress and trauma.

So many incredibly important questions, insight and perspectives and I'm still pinching myself to say that I got to delve into this conversation with the holy grail when it comes to the research around the impact of childhood abuse, neglect and trauma and the developmental effect it has on the brain, Dr. Bruce Perry. Over the last thirty years, Dr. Perry has been an active teacher, clinician and researcher in children’s mental health and the neurosciences holding a variety of academic positions. His work on the impact of abuse, neglect and trauma on the developing brain has impacted clinical practice, programs and policy across the world.

Dr. Perry and Oprah Winfrey's recently released book 'What Happened To You' has had over 1 million sales and is one that I've read several times myself. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy after listening to this ep. 

Enjoy!
