- Throw on your seat belts lads and ladies, we are takin' a ride with Jaymie Paris... and she ain't one to sit around spinning her wheels.
Jaymie is one half of the husband-and-wife team behind Manifolds and Mullets Mechanical, a couple of country legends who are taking the automotive world by storm, calling out dodgy mechanics and proving that treating people with a bit of honesty and respect isn't actually that hard.
But little did I know when I invited this rambunctious car-lovin' lassie on the show, there's a hell of a lot more to Jaymie than cars, mullets and a healthy hatred of Ford Rangers.
We get into her experience as a woman in a seriously male-dominated industry, building a business from scratch, raising three kids and creating a social media following that's gone absolutely gangbusters.
And then the conversation takes a much deeper (and quite unexpected) turn.
Jaymie shares her experience with addiction, incarceration, attempting to take her own life and finding faith at a time when she genuinely thought she'd run out of road. We talk about rehabilitation, the revolving door of the prison system, generational disadvantage and why so many people are being released without the support or resources to build a different life.
Oh, and don't you worry we eventually get around to a few hearty lessons on the cars. There's some very strong opinions about EVs, European cars, Holden V8s and why you should NEVER take your car to a mechanic who won't show you photographic evidence of what they're telling you needs fixing.
Jaymie is funny, fiercely opinionated, wonderfully unfiltered and has one hell of an incredible story.
I bloody adored her... I reckon you will too!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - How much of what you think you know about nutrition is actually helping you, and how much is actually getting in your way?
I had a cracker of a conversation with naturopath and sports nutritionist Kira Sutherland about fueling our bodies, carb phobia, under-eating and why so many women over 40 keep doing more of the same when things stop working.
We got into protein, carbs, food quality, sleep, hormones and the importance of getting your nutrition timing right. I also share a few of my own nutritional lightbulb moments, including discovering just how spectacularly I'd been under-eating carbohydrates (wild, I know).
There's plenty of practical advice, a few beliefs worth challenging and a rather entertaining conversation about a lil' whipped cream.
A great reminder that sometimes the answer isn't doing more. It's understanding what our body actually needs.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - What happens when you become the first Australian with MS to summit Mount Everest, but the biggest mountain you've had to climb has absolutely nothing to do with Everest?
I had an absolute cracker of a conversation with Jen Willis, who at 55, and living with multiple sclerosis, has done something pretty extraordinary. But as it turns out, getting to the top of the world's highest mountain was the easy part, really...
When missing oxygen, disappearing Sherpa's and unfortunate naps collide at 8,000 metres, Jen describes it as a pretty high-altitude f*ck-up. But beneath the tale of Everest, she had bigger mountains to climb... and ones I reckon we can all relate to.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - How many times have you not been getting the results you want and your immediate response is to do MORE? More training, more cardio, more sessions, more effort... Well, what if that's actually the lazy option?
In this solo ep, I'm having a hell of a rant about why doing more isn't always the answer, particularly when it comes to strength training for women over 40.
We get into why so many of us go back to doing the things that worked in our twenties and thirties, without stopping to consider that our bodies, lives and capacity have changed. I talk about training intensity, recovery, nutrition, stress, cardio and why sometimes two bloody hard sets will do more for you than five half-arsed ones.
The bigger conversation here is about getting honest, asking better questions and figuring out what's actually missing before throwing another workout at the problem.
Because more isn't necessarily better. And if your last rep looks like your first, we might have a little problem.
Sometimes doing more is just the lazy option in fancy dress.
Do less. Do it properly.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - What happens when you break into a federal facility to retrieve your own helmet, then have to convince the bloke who runs an airline that you're not a complete liability? Well, of course our Scotty Douglas has a story for that.
Yep, old mate's back, and as usual, we've managed to cover a ridiculous amount of ground. There's a cracker of a story involving federal police, a potentially ruined career and a $283 bottle of scotch that may or may not have helped save his arse. Seriously, you couldn't make this sh*t up if you tried...
But underneath the stories and the lols, we also got back into the whole 'hard things' conversation, why getting comfortable with being uncomfortable matters, and why the hard thing that helps you grow isn't necessarily the one you're already good at.
Oh, and Scotty, we're still waiting for book number three. Get cracking, kid.
