Love Them So Well They Feel Safe To Leave | Jamie Stedman - 971 56:32

Play Pause

1d ago56:32

56:32

Jamie Stedman is back in the saddle and we waste zero time going deep. We pick up where we left off last time - shitty childhood, DV, nearly dying, Steve Irwin, all of it - and drop straight into the messy stuff that shapes how we love, parent and show up. Jamie and I talk about the difference between 'getting over it' and just 'getting through it,…

Wonder Woman of the Streets: Haircuts, Heartbreak & Radical Humanity | Mel Alsemgeest - 970 51:34

6d ago51:34

51:34

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 responsibil…

13d ago1:03:19

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 po…

A Life That Should Have Broken Him | Jason Blyth - 967 58:07

16d ago58:07

58:07

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 ch…

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 v…

23d ago1:02:48

1:02:48

Leon Purton strolled in for a chat in today's ep and we tumbled straight into that familiar territory you and I love... identity, leadership, masks, messy middles, self-belief, crucible moments, and why so many of us chase gold stars instead of growth. Leon unpacked how the Air Force shaped him, how a divorce cracked him open, how perfection cost h…

Cookies, Superheroes & Poorly Formed Poo - Dr. Dinesh Palipana - 964 55:22

27d ago55:22

55:22

This one starts with the world's best cookies and ends with an existential gut check, which feels just about right for Roll With The Punches. I'm chatting with Dr Dinesh Palipana, who just casually happens to be a doctor, researcher, advocate, Australian of the Year and absolute legend who is also living with a spinal cord injury after a car accide…

The Power of a Smile | Sally Pymer - 963 1:02:18

30d ago1:02:18

1:02:18

This one hit me right in the feels. Sally Pymer and I went full circle... from addiction and trauma to the power of one simple, radical act: smiling. What started as a keynote-writing journey turned into Sally birthing this contagious 'Smiles with Sally' movement that’s flooding social media (and the Bendigo Times) with genuine human connection. We…

Walk Your Talk Even When It’s Ugly | Harps & Tiff - 961 48:46

1M ago48:46

48:46

As my feet begin to hit the ground after last week's speaking event I landed in this very human chat on resilience, the kind you actually feel in your bones, with Harps. We opened with the usual chaos, long nails, zero filters, and shenanigans... and from there we went straight into the good stuff. We talked about walking your talk when life is mes…

Blind Spots & Big Waves | Matt Formston - 960 50:25

1M ago50:25

50:25

I sat down with Matt Formston and came away both humbled and absolutely wired. Matt’s story is next level... losing most of his sight as a kid, getting shoved into hard places, then using all of that grit to become a world class athlete, speaker, executive and dad. We talk about the ugly bits too... getting lost for a decade, raging at bullies, and…

Banksy, Undercover, and the Cost of Tough | Keith Banks - 957 59:52

2M ago59:52

59:52

I sat down with Keith Banks and, mate, what a ride. From joining the cops at 17 to going deep undercover in the 70s drug world, then tactical ops, corruption, grief, survivor guilt, and the long road out of PTSD. We got into the messy middle most people skip over… the drinking to sleep, the hypervigilance, the identity crash, and the moment a stran…

2M ago54:41

54:41

Kel’s back from Italy, jet lagged and pasta-happy, and we get into the real guts of confidence.

Keep Your Pants On: Comedy, Cats, and Keynotes | Bobby Cappuccio - 954 52:58

2M ago52:58

52:58

I think you know the gist by now...

Enjoy! SPONSORED BY TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: t…

Mark LeBusque dropped back in for an impromptu chat this week and we went straight to the guts of it. He’s had a massive year, hit burnout, and is here to say it out loud.

2M ago1:06:15

1:06:15

Dr Bruce Perry is back! Every time I chat with him, I end up walking away with my head spinning (in the best possible way). This time we’re unpacking why everyone feels so bloody fried right now... and well, how doom scrolling, violent content on our feeds, and the pressure to be 'resilient' 24/7 sure isn't helping. Bruce explains why our brains li…

Vale St Kilda PCYC... They're Closing Our Gym | Bobby Cappuccio - 950 49:54

3M ago49:54

49:54

My third place, the St Kilda PCYC, is closing its doors after more than 75 years, and it hit me harder than I expected. That gym wasn’t just a space to train, it was where strangers became mates, where effort felt like belonging, and where so many versions of me have walked in and out over the past decade and a half. Waking up to that news felt lik…

Do It For The Girls: Building The Next Gen of Athletes | Kylie Lynch - 949 50:47

God, Faith & Spirituality - Craig Harper - 947 1:06:53

3M ago1:06:53

1:06:53

We set out to talk deadlifts and gym bro nonsense… but before I knew it, we’d skipped the weights entirely and started lifting something way heavier - the big questions of faith, spirituality, and existence itself. What began as banter turned into a deeply honest dive into Harps’ innermost thoughts on God... from religious upbringings to strange un…

Perimenopause Misdiagnosed: From Psych Ward to HRT | Mel Knuckey - 946 42:36

42:36

Mel Knuckey jumped on to share a hell of a story. Tasmanian mum of two. Community worker. Sleepless for weeks. Misdiagnosed. Admitted. ECT to survive.

Surviving Bombs, Plane Crashes & Panic Attacks | Grant Dooley - 945 56:37

He’s worn Navy blues, translated in Chinese, raised kids under razor wire, carried survivor’s guilt, and poured it all into his…

54:25

Some weeks you’re just over yourself, right? That was me this week, and funnily enough that’s exactly what Kel and I ended up diving into. We talked about those little moments where you trip over your own mental shoelaces - anxiety flares, self-sabotage, second-guessing yourself - and how bloody human that is. We riffed on slowing down to speed up,…

4M ago1:04:02

1:04:02

Bloody hell, what a ride. Jamie Stedman grew up in the middle of violence, chaos, and a level of unpredictability no kid should ever have to navigate... yet somehow he walked out the other side with a marshmallow heart, a velvet sledgehammer delivery, and a mission to keep women and kids safe by helping men change. From a childhood of protecting si…

4M ago53:55

53:55

She’s back! And this time Kel and I are diving into all the big, scary, liberating stuff... like finding your voice, owning your truth, and saying 'no' without choking on it.

4M ago55:24

55:24

How to Not Die Tripping Over Your Dog at 70. That’s the real question, isn’t it? And it turns out the answer might involve schnauzers, slow martial arts, and brushing your teeth on one leg. What started as a casual chinwag about hot chocolate and the perils of Temu spiralled (delightfully) into a deep dive on Tai Chi, balance, aging well, and how t…
