Roll With The Punches

It bloody got me!  I'm rising from the Covid dust today and going solo to reminisce about some of my favourite guests and episodes over the last 12 months... Certainly not in order of preference because let's be honest, I have 279 favourite episodes as it stands today. If you haven't heard these ones already they just might spark your interest :)   EPISODE SPONSOR | TESTART FAMILY LAWYER...

It's 2022 and a fair percentage of humans are doing what humans do in the the first weeks of the year... Setting goals, going over the coulda, woulda, shoulda of their fitness goals and making a pledge to change and get it right. Given that I thought it's a perfect time to drag our resident Exercise Physiologist back behind the mic and iron out some of the kinks for us all. I do love a just-do-the...

Today's episode is stepping into the realm of a little true crime podcasting.  I bumped into John Killick via social media when he listened to a recent episode this year... Little did I know I had just started to banter with the he who pulled off Australia's most daring prison escape! In 1999 John's girlfriend Lucy casually hijacked a helicopter at gunpoint (as you do) and ducked over Silverw...

There's something somewhat sacred about horses. This conversation brought back many fond memories for myself as a teenager cantering through the gorgeous countryside in Tasmania, just me and my horse. Jane is a nurse turned psychotherapist with a plethora of therapeutic qualifications under her belt, one of which is equine therapy. She is the Director of Equine Assisted Therapy Australia and it's...

This week Bobby and I kick off with the idea of expanding on a recent social rant I went on titled F*ck Happiness...  Because, what even IS happiness? Do we know? Probably not I'm guessing, which makes it an elusive little devil to find on our quest for it hey... In true Tiff & Bobby form we meander around a myriad of ideas and thoughts around happiness, bliss balls, pet spiders, anxiety...

Will YOU do the work? This is a super short solo episode I thought might be worth throwing into audio format. It's a few thoughts I pondered recently and posted on my socials. From that I received some feedback that the message landed with a few people so I thought, perhaps it might land with a couple more and be the kick up the bum we are sometimes looking for in life... And worst case scenario i...

Get ready to laugh, get ready to cry, get ready to learn some urban dictionary terms you'll wish you never laid ears on!   Tracy Bartram is back and though we were eager to talk about her new podcast Laughaholics it took us most of the hour to even get there. From the unconditional love of our dogs, to dingleberries and looking for love... we kind of cover it all. Enjoy! I did :) EPISODE...

Can we live a high performance life AND maintain a happy family life too? Meet Sunny Lawrence. She is the incredible force behind our recent (and ah-mazing) guest James Lawrence, the toughest athlete on the planet who recently broke his own world record completing 101 ironman distance triathlons in 101 days. But what is life like for those closest to us when we are performing at such levels. Not o...

Hands up who likes a good dose of conflict in their lives? My guess is not too many hands get thrown into the air with that question...  Lawyers, you guys are excluded of course.  Nicole Davidson stepped out of the world of law and into the world of conflict negotiation and mediation to fill the many gaping holes between people living happily ever after in partnerships (commercial or oth...

We all wouldn't mind being a bit more resilient, especially given the last couple of years we have just endured.  Today I'm speaking to Nick Farr, former Victorian Police Officer and current resilience builder and adventurist.  This episode is a co-share from The Code 9 Foundation podcast of which I've recently been given the pleasure of hosting so if you love these episodes that speak t...

It was ironic that our podcast preamble consisted of Bobby explaining his new Feng Shui knowledge and the need to rearrange his studio to create an optimal environment for purpose and performance, as it loosely tied in with the topic I wanted to workshop with Bobby... How to rearrange our lives, our relationships and our self-made stories to create the optimal environment for us becoming the versi...

Well given it’s that time of year when many of us may be inevitably thinking ‘Oh, I really need to lose that extra kilo or two’ I’ve brought back the brilliant Dr Elizabeth Yurth from Boulder Longevity Institute to speak about fat loss from a scientific perspective. Dr Elizabeth blew our minds with her knowledge around regenerative medicine, peptides and epigenetic medicine...

This episode is a pretty casual turned deep and meaningful banter between Harps and I. It’s fair to say I wasn’t having the most amazing day when I logged on to record our planned episode, so we threw away the plan and decided to just go with it and see what rolled out… and you know my well enough by now to know that plenty rolled out. Enjoy!   EPISODE SPONSOR | MICHAEL BEN...

James Lawrence 'The Iron Cowboy' is known as the toughest man alive.  He is a two-time and soon to be three-time Guinness World Record holder.  James first complete 22 half iron distance tri...

This conversation got me somewhat fired up a number of times. The way humanity has evolved around offering support (or more often than not lack thereof) to homeless humans, foster children and people in need. Theresa Mitchell was a single mum who fled her own DV (domestic violence) experience and couldn't ignore those who needed help. Being told it was far too dangerous for a single mother to be g...

How to eat, move, sleep and do all the right stuff (for YOU) to nudge your physical, mental and emotional health in the right direction. Enjoy! EPISODE S...

RWTP’s favourite Cappuccio is back in the hot seat with me today. Ya'll know how much I love a banter with Bobby and I know I’m not alone cos you guys tell me you do too.  I've been quite the drama queen lately!  Nah seriously... I signed up for an improv workshop (and yep, that terrified me) and given that Bobby was the person to essentially introduce me to it I was eag...

Ben Pronk, Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) veteran who is now dangerously equipped with an MBA and a microphone as host of The Unforgiving 60 podcast joins me today to banter about all things 'mental deadlifts', mindset and resilience.

I’m beside myself over just how much I adore the guest you’re about to hear. Katarina Wittich (or Kato Wittich) appeared on episode 5 of Gwenyth Paltrow's Netflix Series Sex, Love and Goop…  She is a former film maker turned somatic therapy expert who refers to herself and a ‘student of human-ness’. The tools in Kato’s toolbox which I’d not previousl...

She's back! Karen Hurd speaks nutrition like no one on this planet. We heard from Hurd (see what I did there) in episode 210 when she told us in no uncertain terms what happens when sugar collides with our biology... Well she is back to speak of the absolute magic of beans and just how necessary and healing soluble fibre is to our toxic waste producing bodies so buckle up, you're going to want to...
