You Don’t Need a Knockout to Do Damage | Professor Al Pearce - 1006

Well, as an athlete (especially a boxer) this one sure hits a bit close to home… and I don’t just mean physically. I sat down with Professor Alan Pearce and we got right into the stuff most athletes don’t really want to look at too closely. Concussion, CTE, brain health, and what actually happens …

You’re Part of the Mess | Mark LeBusque - 1005

I might start calling him 'No-Bullsh*t LeBusque'... Mark's back for a chat and we went straight into the messy middle of self-awareness. Where you realise you’re actually part of the problem. You know, the moment where you sit there reading your own behaviour back at yourself and go… “well, sh*t.” …

Meet The Policy Pig | Salli Cohen - 1004

I went in thinking we’d have a cheeky yarn about policy (yep, a very un-Tiff-like topic, I know)… and instead got my brain flipped inside out. Salli (The Policy Pig... and what a cracking title that is) dragged policy out of the dusty, boring corner we all shove it in… and made it personal. Like, …

"Don't Tell Me I Can't" | Mick Marshall - 1003

Sometimes within seconds of 'meeting' someone on the show I realise I'm going to have an absolute ball for the next hour or so... Mick Marshall sure was one of those humans! This bloke fell 120 metres inside a wind turbine, had his legs absolutely wrecked, got rescued by mates who’d barely trained…

'The Noise Was Too Loud' | Leah Ashton - 1002

Ohmigoodness, this one got me. I sat down with the absolute legend that is Leah Ashton, founder of Hand in Hand Ballarat, and what started as a chat about her incredible foundation (and a laugh about my inevitable wardrobe malfunctions and high-heel dramas at the recent gala ball we met at) turned …

Sh*t Magnets, Red Flags & The Call You Never Want - Scott Douglas - 1001

This one started as a bit of a yarn about paramedics and ended up punching me in the guts a lil' bit. We got into the day-to-day of the job. The pager going off, the adrenaline, the fact that what most of us would call chaos… just becomes a Tuesday for these guys. Scotty’s one of those humans who …

'Because it Makes Me Happy' | Daviana Memont - 1000

Episode 1000… and somehow I landed it with one of the most honest, straight-shooting, no bullsh*t humans I’ve come across in the gender transition space. Daviana sure doesn’t tiptoe or dress things up to make people comfortable. She says what she thinks, stands in facts over feelings, and lets it l…

Bad Dates, Big Laughs, and Beginner Energy | Jordana Borensztajn - 999

Buckle up for this absolute firecracker of a guest... I stumbled across Jordana recently when she presented at an event I was attending and it was instant wannabe bestie vibes for me! She's one of those humans who aren't afraid to dive into new (and somewhat terrifying) adventures, like learning a…

Integrity vs Algorithms (You Don't Have to Be a D*ck) | Tiff Cook - 998

I jumped on the mic after a morning doom scroll that left a bad taste in my mouth (as they often can). Two smart, credible humans I follow and generally value their content... One publicly and shamelessly tearing the other apart. But this is not the exception these days, it's sadly becoming the rul…

Fawn... When 'Nice' is a Trauma Response | Ingrid Clayton, PhD - 997

Ahhh we all know the big three. 'Fight, flight, freeze'... The trauma response greatest hits. But nobody warned us about their sneaky little sibling, 'fawn'. That quiet shape-shifting, chronic people-pleasing “yeah I’m fine” while your insides are setting off silent alarm bells. In this ep I sat d…
