  • Raising Emotionally Intelligent Kids in a Post-COVID, Digital World — Part 2 with Ros Nealon-Cook
    This is Part Two of a deeply important conversation with Ros Nealon-Cook, ex-psychologist and fearless advocate for children’s mental health. In this wide-ranging episode, we dive into the foundations of emotional wellbeing — the stuff that’s so basic we often overlook it: sleep, movement, nutrition, play, laughter, and connection. Ros unpacks how these simple daily habits build true resilience and mental strength in our kids. She then introduces a practical emotional education framework known as the Zones of Regulation, helping parents and children alike tune into emotions, triggers, and stress in a language that’s simple, non-judgmental, and actually works at home. We also explore how families can begin healing the hidden trauma and division left over from the COVID years — a conversation that’s long overdue — and why processing collective shame and grief is key to moving forward. Other topics include: - How to raise courageous, emotionally literate kids in an age of fear and censorship - Ways to engage doctors and medical professionals and rebuild trust without blame or bitterness - The technology tsunami shaping our kids’ brains — plus real, workable family tech contracts to help your kids self-regulate their screen-time - The confronting reality of pornography’s impact on adolescent boys — and a surprising take on how to best address it positively Ros brings both compassion and clarity to one of the biggest issues facing parents today. This episode finishes on a note of hope, creativity, and practical optimism for rebuilding our kids’ emotional worlds — and our society — from the inside out.

  • How to Build Wealth Without Losing Your Soul - Justin Pagotto
    We all know that in times like these, financial sovereignty isn’t just a luxury — it’s survival. In a world that’s proven how easily we can be controlled through dependency — jobs, debt, the system — being truly Uncoercible starts with taking back control of your finances. But if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found that most financial advisors don’t get it. They don’t see the bigger picture — the agendas, the manipulation, the risks ahead — and their advice often misses what really matters: your values, your purpose, your peace of mind. That’s why this week’s podcast is such a breath of fresh air. I sat down with Justin Pagotto from Jireh Financial, who is one of the few in the finance world who truly gets it. Justin combines practical financial wisdom with spiritual and emotional intelligence. He’s awake to what’s happening in the world, but he also knows that money is meant to serve your soul — not the other way around. In this episode, we dive deep into some of the global economic threats and how to prepare for them, plus explore some practical pathways to aligning your wealth plan with your values and life purpose. How debt = control. “The borrower is slave to the lender.” How to reduce coercion risk quickly. The bond market time-bomb. What a spike in bond yields could do to rates — and your mortgage. Gold & silver (the real stuff). Why central banks are hoarding, and how families can hold outside the system. Diversify like Solomon. “Spread your money to seven or eight” — the practical, modern version. 7 streams of income. Why relying on a single wage is the riskiest play in 2025. End self-sabotage. The five traps killing momentum: lack of vision, focus, discipline, execution, consistency — and how to beat them. True prosperity. The Hebrew meaning: peace, wholeness, and wellbeing in every area of life — not just a bigger bank balance. If you’ve ever felt alienated or disillusioned by the mainstream financial world — this conversation is for you. Justin's website and contact details: https://jirehfinancial.com.au/

  • From fear to freedom: A psychologist’s take on our kids
    In this powerful conversation, Adam Gibson sits down with Ros Nealon-Cook, the first Australian psychologist to publicly speak out against the COVID narrative back in 2020–21. Ros shares her personal story of losing her psychology registration for doing what every parent instinctively knows is right—speaking up to protect children from harm. Together, Adam and Ros unpack what really went on behind the fear campaigns, lockdowns and professional gag orders that silenced so many voices of reason. Drawing on decades of psychological insight, Ros explains how fear literally hijacks the human brain, shutting down critical thinking and driving good people to conform with the herd. She breaks down the mechanics of group psychology, attachment to authority, and how governments used behavioural “nudge units” to manipulate the public into compliance. Most powerfully, she reveals how this collective trauma has affected our children—the so-called “COVID kindies”—and why so many kids today are struggling to regulate their emotions, focus, and trust the world around them. Adam and Ros move the discussion toward healing—starting with psycho-education for parents and kids. From her simple “Red Beast / White Rabbit” model for teaching self-regulation, to the deeper work of raising emotionally whole boys and rebuilding community outside captured systems, this episode is full of practical tools and profound hope. It’s a must-listen for any parent determined to raise resilient, critically-thinking kids in a post-COVID world.

  • The Final Call: What the TGA Reversal Really Means—and What We Must Do Now
    To connect with our guest psychologist Lindsay Spencer-Mathews, go to https://greatchangemaker.com.au/ In this deeply reflective and emotionally charged episode, Adam Gibson reunites with psychologist and long-time ally Lindsay Spencer-Matthews to unpack a momentous but underreported shift: the TGA’s updated advice quietly walking back COVID vaccines for children under 18, stating that the risks now outweigh the benefitsFor those of us who fought, spoke out, and paid the price for questioning this agenda—this is the moment we’ve waited for. But it’s not the time for revenge. It’s the time to act strategically, compassionately, and effectively. We discuss: •The emotional toll of speaking truth during a time of mass delusion •Why doctors and pharmacists still don’t know the advice has changed •A practical final action: sending a respectful, curiosity-based letter to your GP or pharmacist •The psychology of belief, and how to truly reach people •Healing the dissident community and putting down the sword—for good   This is the full stop we’ve been craving. But we have to deliver it wisely. Letters, not rage. Curiosity, not confrontation. Heres how you can take action with us: Step 1: Download and Print the Attached Letters  Letter to Doctor  Letter to Pharmacist  They have been written by respected psychologist Lindsay Spencer-Matthews, and carefully worded to invite conversation, not conflict. Step 2: Mail It! (Yes, snail mail) Look up your local GP and/or pharmacist, then handwrite the envelope: Dr. [Name] Mark it "Private & Confidential" (this helps ensure it will get opened by the right person) Sign it in ink - no digital signatures. Remember, you are simply asking respectful questions about an official statement - so there is no risk of blowback on you. Step 3: Share the Mission   If every PWQ supporter sends one letter? That’s 30,000 doctors and pharmacists who will think twice before jabbing another child (or even an adult) If you send five, that’s 150,000.  And forward this to ask five friends to do the same? Considering there are only around 130,000 medical doctors and specialists in Australia, we’ll become a force that cannot be ignored.  And finally, if you are part of a freedom based community group, a social media circle, or even a school P&F committee member, please ask them to help you circulate this message.       7 Big Takeaways From This Episode 1.The TGA Has Quietly Reversed Course on COVID Vaccines for Kids The official advice now states the risks outweigh the benefits for those under 18—but few doctors and pharmacists even know this. 2.The Fight Isn’t Over Until Action is Taken Without public visibility, kids may still be getting these injections daily. This is our opportunity to stop it cold. 3.Letters Can Be More Powerful Than Protests A printed, respectfully worded, hand-signed letter sent directly to a doctor or pharmacist can bypass defensiveness and open real dialogue. 4.Anger is Understandable—But Not Effective This is the time for grace and strategy, not vengeance. Letting rage lead now may cost us the final victory. 5.Most Professionals Still Haven’t Processed Their Own Cognitive Dissonance Doctors were trained for compliance, not curiosity. The TGA’s reversal gives them an “off-ramp” from the narrative, but we must offer it gently. 6.This May Be the Moment to Finally Heal Many in the dissident community are experiencing battle fatigue. This campaign offers closure—and a bridge to the next chapter. 7.Your Voice Still Matters Whether it’s one letter or ten, your action could protect a child, shift a professional’s mindset, or close this dark chapter with dignity.
