In this episode, I chat with these two chatty souls Samantha King and Jess Curtis from the I Hear You podcast about navigating emotions, relationships, and self-awareness in both personal and professional life. We kick off by exploring how we process conversations differently - whether we're in them or reflecting afterward - and the insights that come from each.

From importance of speaking our feelings out loud, balancing being present with later reflection, and how honesty with ourselves and others is key. I share lessons I've taken from my own relationships and experience of how open conversations, especially around resentment, have been transformative. Samantha and Jess also talk about purpose, self-compassion, and the challenge of living up to societal expectations.

It’s a cracker of a conversation about relationships, self-awareness, and finding balance in the chaos that is life.

If you think lifting heavy weights is just for bodybuilders and powerlifters, it’s time to smash that myth. Today, I’m rolling up my sleeves to chat with Dr. Mandy Hagstrom, a powerhouse in the world of strength training, research, and elite-level athleticism. She’s here to talk about why all women (yep, ALL of us) need to embrace the barbell and stop playing it safe with the light dumbbells.

Mandy shares her journey from Olympic weightlifting to becoming a national champion powerlifter, balancing elite sport with the demands of academia, and why lifting heavy has a direct line to improving quality of life - even for cancer survivors.

We dig deep into everything from the myths that hold women back in the gym, to how strength training can boost not just physical health but mental resilience, too. Oh, and did I mention we’re talking about running marathons, dealing with burnout, and how sometimes science just needs to evolve? Trust me, you’re going to walk away from this episode ready to lift heavy, push your limits, and rethink everything you thought you knew about strength.

Negotiation... it’s a skill we all need, but let’s be real, most of us aren’t born with it. That’s why today, we’ve brought back our go-to expert, Nicole Davidson, to dive into the fine art of negotiation, conflict resolution, and managing the tricky balance of egos and emotions.

In this ep, Nicole and I get down to the juicy stuff: the psychology behind negotiation, why your emotions (and theirs) can make or break a deal, and how knowing when to walk away might be your best move.

My interest was piqued with her newest service - think of her as Judge Judy for small business disputes - giving a low-cost solution to avoid the courtroom while still getting things done. We even delve into the rise of AI in negotiations (ummmm yep, you might be negotiating with a bot and not even know it!).

Whether you’re dealing with a business partner, negotiating a deal, or just trying to navigate daily conversations, Nicole’s insights will leave you thinking differently about the power of curiosity, listening, and asking the right questions.

Ding, ding, ding! Round 2 with Dr. Donna Lyon, and this conversation is packed with power, vulnerability, and raw truth. Donna's back on the show, and boy oh boy has she achieved some amazing things since episode 220 when we first spoke. 

We dive deep into her groundbreaking documentary Left, Right Hook, where Donna takes us behind the scenes of this raw and impactful film. A project that isn't just about boxing; it's about healing, empowerment, and giving voice to survivors of child sexual abuse. The film has made waves, including winning the Audience Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Donna talks about the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the deep discomfort of seeing herself on screen, capturing moments of vulnerability that continue to shift her perspective.

Tears? Yep. I cried right throughout the film - a beautiful, heart-wrenching kind of cry that reminded me just how powerful storytelling and connection are. We unpack the therapeutic side of boxing, how stepping into the ring is about more than just the punches, and what it means to have agency in the healing process.

Tune in as we talk trauma, boundaries, vulnerability, and the incredible power of giving voice to your pain. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's been knocked down and is ready to stand back up stronger.
