When oncology nurse and mum of three, Lauren Rayner, found a lump on her neck, she never imagined it would flip her world upside down. Diagnosed with a rare and aggressive stage 4 neuroendocrine carcinoma, she was given 14 months to live - but Lauren wasn’t having it.

In this raw and powerful chat, she shares what it’s like being both the nurse and the patient, why she calls Australia’s health system “the Hunger Games of cancer,” and how she ended up in Germany fighting for her life with treatments that aren’t even available here.

Today, her scans show no evidence of disease. This one’s about hope, advocacy, and the fight to stay alive in a bullsh*t system that doesn’t make it easy.

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.
