When it comes to Aussie female fighters, Taylah Gentzen is one I'm backing all the way. We go way back to our early amateur days, and today we’re chatting all things resilience, empowerment, and vulnerability. Taylah opens up about her journey from the boxing ring to becoming a mum, sharing the highs and lows, including a gut-wrenching loss that nearly made her walk away from the sport. But instead, she’s found that sweet spot between strength and vulnerability. We dig into how boxing has transformed her, the mental toughness it takes to step in the ring, and why feeling your emotions matters just as much as throwing punches.

Taylah also shares her journey into motherhood with her fiancée, Lana, as they navigated the IVF process, choosing a donor, and the beautiful chaos of raising their little girl, Stevie. I absolutely love this conversation—Taylah is a total legend.

Get ready to jump on the Swifty train!

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.

Dr. Stacy Sims is the absolute G.O.A.T. when it comes to women’s health and fitness. In this chat (that I'm SUPER excited about) we burrow down into the differences between how men and women respond to things like intermittent fasting and intense training. Spoiler alert: 'women aren’t just small men', and what works for the fellas can actually wreak havoc on our systems! Dr. Sims breaks it all down, from why we should focus on strength training (especially as we get older), and how to go about it to the key supplements we should be taking.

She also dishes out solid advice on managing energy and fueling our bodies the right way to avoid LEA (low energy availability) and burnout - trust me, the stats on LEA are mind-blowing. If you’re tired of sifting through all the confusion and BS out there, and ready to get into the nitty-gritty of optimising health, performance, and resilience for women, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

Oh yeah, and for my fellow sisters who (like me) are dipping toes into that peri-menopausal chaos, don't worry I've thrown some questions in around that too!

Go give Dr. Sims a follow if you’re not already, her content is pure gold.

Female Training & Why Women Aren’t Small Men | Dr. Stacy Sims - 847

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/235823db-9059-42c6-bfba-b1e7005fdf80/transcript

After a good hearty chat with Michael O'Brien about finding life-long love the old school way with a personals ad in the newspaper (we never quite know where a conversation might start or finish on this show hey) we get into talking about life.

The only thing scarier than almost dying can surely be the thought of only almost living, right? When I speak to people like Michael who have been landed with a pretty heavy hit from life and almost had theirs taken in the process, it leaves me wondering how many of us are only ‘almost living’ our whole lives. Living with worry, anxiety and fear around things that perhaps don’t really matter. Michael and I unpack how a near-fatal cycling accident shifted his entire perspective on life, work, and chasing that ever-elusive 'happiness.' He takes us through his journey from corporate hustle and grind to a life grounded in mindfulness, gratitude, and living fully in each moment. We also dig into his post-accident recovery, both physically and mentally, and how he found peace and purpose through small, daily practices like his life-changing ‘Pause, Breathe, Reflect’ method. From redefining success to embracing life's imperfections, Michael’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes you’ve got to get knocked down to rise stronger than ever.

Whether you’re a workaholic, a cyclist, or just someone who needs to slow the hell down, this conversation is for you (and certainly me).
