It took Penny Moodie a whopping 23 years to get a diagnosis for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Over two decades riding a mental health rollercoaster of intrusive thoughts and the mental or physical compulsions that follow. The stigma and misconceptions surrounding OCD make this type of delayed diagnosis all too common. 

'I'm so OCD' seems at times to be a pretty familiar off-hand remark from every second person who likes to throw the label on their little quirks and habits without too much thought, however this is the first in-depth conversation I've had on the show regarding obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it raised a lot of questions around how we can differentiate between anxiety on this type of clinical disorder. 

Penny used her experience to dive deep and write her book The Joy Thief (yep, I flogged the title for this episode too) where she speaks to other OCD sufferers, as well as some of the world's leading OCD doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists to put together a resource to help close the potential 23-year gap on sufferers getting some solid help.

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.
