The Strong Life Project Podcast

The Strong Life Project Podcast is where I speak directly to people who are tired of just surviving and are ready to take responsibility for their life.

I draw on my background in policing, my own lived experience with PTSD, depression, and suicidal darkness, and decades of work in human behaviour and high performance. I've been to the edge. I know what breaks people. And I know what actually helps them rebuild. This podcast exists for one reason: to help you think more clearly, re...

EP 2572 It just takes a bit of effort 27.03.2023

We all have goals and dreams that we want to achieve, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming and impossible. We think that we need to make massive changes or take huge leaps to get there, but that's not always the case. Instead, I want to encourage you to focus on taking small steps towards your goals. It may not seem like much at first, but over time, these small efforts will add up and make a bi...

EP 2571 You must stand strong with difficult people 26.03.2023

I know from personal experience just how challenging it can be to stay strong and resilient in the face of people who push our buttons and test our limits. I have dealt with difficult individuals all through my life, as you probably have. In the moment, I have to dig deep and find the inner strength to remain calm and professional, even though I feel like I will lose my mind. The truth is we all e...

EP 2570 Don't do things you don't want to do 25.03.2023

Now, I know this might sound like common sense, but too often, we find ourselves doing things we don't want to do. Maybe it's because we feel obligated, or we don't want to disappoint someone, or we're afraid of what might happen if we say no. But here's the thing, when we do things we don't want to do, it drains our energy and takes away from the things we actually enjoy and care about. It can al...

EP 2569 Why don't they care??? 24.03.2023

We've all had moments where we've put our heart and soul into something, only to feel like no one else cares. Maybe it's a project at work that you've poured countless hours into, or maybe it's a relationship where you feel like you're the only one putting in any effort. But here's the thing, we can't control other people's actions or emotions. We can only control our own. Instead of focusing on w...

EP 2568 What will it cost you 23.03.2023

Too often, we focus on the short-term cost of something without considering the long-term consequences. We think about the immediate financial outlay or time commitment, but we don't think about the bigger picture. For example, let's say you want to start your own business. The short-term cost might be the money you need to invest, the time it takes to set everything up, and the potential risk of...

EP 2567 Why do people make excuses instead of apologise? 22.03.2023

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you've done something wrong, and instead of apologizing, you make excuses? Perhaps you've even caught yourself doing this repeatedly, but still, you can't seem to stop making excuses. Well, the truth is making excuses is a defence mechanism that many people use to protect themselves from the consequences of their actions. It's a way of avoiding res...

EP 2566 A single act can earn a reputation, credibility is earned everyday 21.03.2023

In this episode, we delve into the importance of reputation and credibility in building a strong life. As the saying goes, "A single act can earn a reputation, but credibility is earned every day."

EP 2565 How do you say NO to entitled people??? 20.03.2023

On this episode, we're tackling a topic that I know many of you struggle with - how to say NO to entitled people. We've all encountered entitled people in our lives - those folks who believe the world owes them something and act like they're above the rules.

"EP 2562 What is dumb shit???" 17.03.2023

What is dumb shit??? We all have moments of looking back and thinking, "Why did I do that?" or "That was a stupid decision." Those are the moments where we engaged in dumb shit. Dumb shit can come in many forms. It can be a bad decision that leads to negative consequences or a behaviour we know is harmful to ourselves or others.
