Roll With The Punches

In this solo riff I’m unpacking the wonderfully chaotic, occasionally brilliant, sometimes slightly questionable world of ideas. You know, the ones that arrive like a lightning bolt and suddenly I’m building a program, launching a thing, reimagining my whole life and wondering if everyone else is watching going, “Here she bloody goes again.”
But this one is really about knowing yourself. Knowing when an idea has legs, when it needs to be parked, when quitting is actually wisdom, and when the fear of how something looks from the outside is getting in the way of what’s true for you.
I talk about creativity, consistency, business, Ten Rounds With Tiff, the new strength coaching idea I’m building, and why sometimes the thing you stopped doing wasn’t a failure at all. It was just part of the weird little puzzle that comes back later and fits somewhere you couldn’t see yet.
It’s a chat about saying yes quickly, saying no quickly, letting things evolve, and not white-knuckling your way through something just to prove you’re gritty.
Because life’s not a straight line, thank fark. It’s a strange little treasure hunt, and sometimes the thing you think you quit is actually still working quietly in the background.

Jess Kelly is one of those humans who walks into a room, says hell yes before she’s fully qualified, figures it out on the fly, and somehow makes the rest of us feel a little braver for existing near her.
In this episode, we talk about business, risk, failure, family, starting again, and what happens when the thing you’ve poured everything into comes crashing down. Jess and her husband spent years building a prefab housing business with a huge vision, a tiny budget, and a whole lot of guts. Then, after years of pushing, pivoting, borrowing, sweating, hoping, and believing, they had to make the brutal call to put it into voluntary administration.
But this ain't no doom and gloom chat... Not even close.
Jess talks about owning the narrative, choosing family in the middle of the chaos, writing her way through the mess, and why everything is either good news or a good story if you’re willing to look at it through the right lens. We also get into imposter syndrome, shame, the weird freedom of having nothing left to lose, and why curiosity might just be the thing that keeps us moving when life goes full catastrophe mode.
Honestly, Jess is a bloody weapon. Funny, honest, optimistic without being fluffy, and wildly refreshing. This one is a big, warm, slightly chaotic permission slip to take the risk, tell the truth, and give the thing a crack before you’ve got the shiny website, the perfect plan, or any idea what the hell you’re doing.

Scott Anthony Douglas is back on the pod, and as always, his brain is doing 47 things at once while simultaneously making total sense of chaos, trust, travel, danger, discipline, trauma, intuition, and why sometimes you just have to climb on the bloody roof and ask questions later.
From paramedic work to mining, hospitality, motorcycles, skateboarding, oil rigs, Ireland, big-wave surfing, hitchhiking, sleeping in bushes, and somehow making friends with strangers in almost every corner of the planet... this chat went everywhere! But beneath all the epic and entertaining stories is something that fascinates me even more, which is Scott’s relationship with chaos, safety, trust, and that highly tuned internal radar that tells him when something is off before anyone else has even read the room.
So if you're up for a conversation about trusting your instincts, knowing yourself, staying pliable, and learning that sometimes the world is much kinder than we expect it to be. Unless your spidey senses say otherwise. In which case, off ya scoot 'n' see ya next time...

Dave Greenberg is one of those blokes who has done more wild sh*t before breakfast than most of us will do in a lifetime.
Born in New York, he knew at eight years old he wanted to be a fireman, saved his first life at thirteen doing CPR on a stranger in the street, then somehow ended up in New Zealand doing more than 4,000 missions on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Ya know, just easing into life gently.
This chat went everywhere, which is exactly how I like it. Rescue helicopters, farmers finding wildly inventive ways to injure themselves, jumping into the ocean from a hovering chopper, crisis training, mindset, adrenaline, identity, ageing, pressure, and why chick flicks were apparently Dave’s emotional pressure valve. Sure didn’t see that one coming, but here we are.
What I loved most about this conversation was the bit underneath all the good yarns. Dave talks about the difference between assumed readiness and observed behaviour, which is basically what we reckon we’ll do under pressure versus what we actually do when life says, 'Righto superstar, your turn.'

Winter punched me in the face this week, and it got me thinking about all the things that influence who we are, how we feel, and how we show up.
In this solo riff, I unpack the sneaky invisible shit steering the ship... from food, movement, recovery, stress, and hormones, through to the people we spend time with, the information we consume, and the environments we put ourselves in. I share why winter and perimenopause have forced me to get a lot more deliberate about my energy, why a yoga class reminded me how noisy life has become, and why cleaning up your social media feed might be one of the most underrated mental health strategies going around.
I also dive into tribe, belonging, accountability, novelty, and why sometimes the fastest way to change your mood, mindset, or momentum is simply to change what you're exposing yourself to.
Turns out, we might not control everything that influences us... but we can absolutely influence the things that influence us.
