Roll With The Punches

• Wonder Woman of the Streets: Haircuts, Heartbreak & Radical Humanity | Mel Alsemgeest - 970

  Mate… this conversation with Mel lit me up. She is a walking spark plug, a human espresso shot, the Energiser Bunny with better lipstick. I knew she had a big story but holy hell, sitting across from her and hearing the layers, the grit, the heartbreak, the humour, the joy… it hit different. We talked about growing up in chaos, carrying responsibilities no kid should ever carry, and somehow finding a way to build compassion instead of bitterness. We talked about addiction, foster care, cutting hair for people who literally have nothing, prison programs, walking the streets with zero fear and an ocean of heart. Mel shares stories that'll crack you open and stories that'll stitch you back together two minutes later. This one is humanity on full display. Messy. Beautiful. Wild. Real.Mel is our real life Wonder Woman who shows us who we could be if we actually saw each other.

• Energy, Friendships and Letting Go | Heidi Horne - 969

  Today I sat down with the absolute pocket rocket that is Heidi Horne and we went everywhere from kids having meltdowns to middle aged women building apps and writing books. Heidi is an author, speaker, coach and mum who has spent years teaching everyone from tiny humans to stressed out adults how to actually reset, not just talk about it. We talk about why kids are basically little mirrors for our own emotional tantrums, how easily they love, how quickly they connect, and how much we shut that down once we grow up and get 'sensible'. Heidi shares how she’s gone from tour guiding around the world to teaching meditation, building her One Minute Reset app, writing her second book and throwing herself into founder land at 50 with a bunch of cool tech kids. We jam on energy, friendships, shiny object syndrome, being 'addicted to busy', why boundaries are a spiritual practice, and what happens when you finally start backing yourself 100 percent instead of chasing crumbs. There is imposter syndrome, there is sport, there is hockey with teenage boys, there is a lot of laughing and a fair bit of truth. If you need practical ways to stress less, reset fast and find your childlike spark again, this one will land.

• Why You're Exhausted (and It’s Not What You Think) | Dr. Libby Weaver - 968

  Holy moly, this convo with Dr Libby lit me up like a kid on red cordial. Every time she’s on the show I swear my brain grows three sizes and suddenly wants to eat more iron. We covered everything from perimenopause mayhem to the way adrenaline hijacks our days, to why half of us are out here living like exhausted, over-stimulated, iron-deficient potatoes. And honestly, Libby is so bloody good at weaving science with soul (#SeeWhatIDidThere) that I find myself wanting to text every woman I know and go “hey babe, get your ferritin checked.” We talked about winter blues, our fried nervous systems, the addiction to being ‘fine,’ the privilege of being alive, and the tiny practices that actually change our chemistry. It was deep, honest, hilarious, and wildly grounding.If you want less chaos, more energy, a calmer brain and a reminder you’re not broken... this one’s a must-listen.

• A Life That Should Have Broken Him | Jason Blyth - 967

  Maaaate, I thought I was ready for this one. I really did. I’ve heard Jason speak. I know the shape of his story. But sitting down with him in this format was a completely different beast. If you think you've heard some rough rides on this show, this one takes it up a level... There’s something about the way he unpacks his life - the trauma, the chaos, the faith, the identity stuff - that just hits different when it’s not on a stage… just him, sitting across from you telling the truth exactly as he knows it. And mate, it lands. Hard. Every answer felt like it came from a deeper place than the question. There were moments where I could almost feel what he was about to say before he said it. This episode isn’t heavy for the sake of heavy. It’s powerful. It’s clarifying. It’s weirdly hopeful. And it reminded me why stories like Jason’s matter... not because they’re dramatic, but because they show what’s possible when someone decides their past doesn’t get to call the shots. Buckle up. Even if you think you know his story… you’re still not ready.

• Self-Compassion or Self-Sabotage? | Craig Harper - 966

  Ever wonder if you’re being too hard on yourself… or not hard enough? Welcome to the club. In this episode Harps and I throw ourselves into the old messy middle where self-improvement meets self-compassion. We call out the way we talk to ourselves and question when does the “you’ve got this” turn into delusion, and when 'being honest' becomes you verbally drop-kicking your own soul. Typical us... a lil' wisdom, a lil' chaos, a whole lot of laughs.
