Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with writer, speaker and former lifestyle journalist Elle Halliwell to share one of the most powerful health journeys I’ve ever heard.

Elle built a successful career reporting for some of Australia’s biggest publications including Vogue Australia, Marie Claire and The Australian. But in 2016, her life changed forever.

In the space of just 48 hours, Elle was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and then discovered she was pregnant with her first child.

In this conversation we explore:
• Elle’s childhood and early career in radio and journalism
• The stress and anxiety she experienced in her 20s while building her career
• The moment she discovered she had leukaemia
• Finding out she was pregnant just two days after her diagnosis
• Navigating cancer treatment while carrying her baby
• How she managed her mental health during such an uncertain time
• The role organisations like the Leukaemia Foundation play in supporting families facing blood cancer
• Living with blood cancer and stepping into motherhood with a completely new perspective on life

Elle’s story is one of resilience, courage and finding purpose through life’s most unexpected challenges.

In this episode of Good Humans, I sit down with meditation teacher and author Rochelle Fox to dive into her new book Magnetic and what it really means to become magnetic to your dreams.

Rochelle shares her personal journey, from struggling with anxiety and self-doubt to building a global meditation movement that has impacted millions. We unpack how meditation is not about escaping your life, but about becoming more present, more powerful, and more aligned with who you truly are.

We speak about:
The real reason so many people struggle to meditate
How to become a better meditator without needing to be perfect
The science behind consistency and rewiring your identity
What it means to be “magnetic” and how energy influences opportunity
How to align your thoughts, habits and emotions with the life you want
Practical tools from her book Magnetic you can start using today

Rochelle explains that magnetism is not about chasing or forcing outcomes. It is about becoming the version of you who naturally attracts the opportunities, relationships and experiences that align with your highest self.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that meditation is not about sitting still for hours. It is about training your mind, regulating your nervous system and choosing who you want to become, one day at a time.

If you have ever struggled to stay consistent with meditation, or if you want to feel more aligned and intentional in the way you live, this episode will give you practical tools and a fresh perspective.

As always, if this episode resonates, share it with someone you care about and tag us so we can see your biggest takeaway.

In this episode I’m joined by Newcastle surfer Josh Levey, who set himself a challenge that sounds almost impossible… surf 7,000 waves in one month.
But this wasn’t about records or attention.

It was about purpose.

Josh took on the challenge to raise money and awareness for Soul Hub, a local homelessness charity supporting people doing it tough in his community. By the end of the month he’d raised over $100,000 and inspired thousands of people along the way.

We talk about his upbringing and relationship with the ocean, the moment he realised he wanted to use surfing for something bigger than himself, and how a simple idea turned into a movement.

Josh also opens up about the reality behind the highlight reel. The exhaustion, injuries, mental battles, early mornings, cold water, and the discipline it took to keep showing up every single day. What stood out most was how purpose can carry you further than motivation ever will.

We finish by chatting about what the experience taught him about gratitude, perspective and community, and where he wants to take this impact next.

This is a conversation about using what you love to help others, pushing your limits for a meaningful reason, and how one person’s commitment can ripple through an entire community.

In this episode we cover:
• Why Josh decided to surf 7,000 waves in 30 days
• The link between purpose and mental resilience
• The toughest physical and mental moments of the challenge
• What he learned about homelessness through Soul Hub
• The power of community support and accountability
• What comes next after achieving something this big

If you’ve ever wondered how small daily actions can turn into real impact, you’ll love this one.
