Lauren Mackenzie spent the vast majority of her life battling a severe eating disorder. From the age of 5 she recalls becoming body conscious and from the age of 9 developing an eating disorder. By Lauren's teenage years she was admitted to a facility where she unwillingly resided for 3 years, under the notion that she was being wrongly admitted and did not actually have a disorder at all. Lauren's weight at her height of 5'3" got down to a shocking 31kg. 

Now managing a healthy weight and relationship with food Lauren is also armed with a relatively new diagnosis of autism, enlightening her as to some of her nuances around food, taste and texture and helping her develop self-awareness and self-understanding.

Today she shares her story with me in the hope that she'll be a resource for others who can relate to her experience.

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.
