Unfortunately, Harriet Barnsley knows firsthand what it's like to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. At just 21 years old, while waiting at a bus stop, she and her best friend were struck by two racing, intoxicated drivers. A month later, Harriet emerged from a coma, living a twisted version of the film '50 First Dates' as her short-term memory remained blank, and each morning, Harriet had to relearn what had transpired. As her cognitive abilities gradually returned, she then had to come to terms as she received the devastating news that her best friend had lost her life in the accident.

In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Harriet sheds light on the physical, psychological, and emotional rollercoaster that followed her accident. At times, she shares her experiences and coping strategies in ways she hasn't before, offering a glimpse into the trauma's lasting impact on her mental health.

A gentle trigger warning: we briefly discuss topics like suicidal ideation and mental health. Harriet's openness about these issues is not only courageous but, as she mentions, also a source of healing. Harriet's physical fitness prior to the accident played a crucial role in her promising recovery, making her a true inspiration.

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.
