Roll With The Punches

What happens when you become the first Australian with MS to summit Mount Everest, but the biggest mountain you've had to climb has absolutely nothing to do with Everest?
I had an absolute cracker of a conversation with Jen Willis, who at 55, and living with multiple sclerosis, has done something pretty extraordinary. But as it turns out, getting to the top of the world's highest mountain was the easy part, really...
When missing oxygen, disappearing Sherpa's and unfortunate naps collide at 8,000 metres, Jen describes it as a pretty high-altitude f*ck-up. But beneath the tale of Everest, she had bigger mountains to climb... and ones I reckon we can all relate to.

How many times have you not been getting the results you want and your immediate response is to do MORE? More training, more cardio, more sessions, more effort... Well, what if that's actually the lazy option?
In this solo ep, I'm having a hell of a rant about why doing more isn't always the answer, particularly when it comes to strength training for women over 40.
We get into why so many of us go back to doing the things that worked in our twenties and thirties, without stopping to consider that our bodies, lives and capacity have changed. I talk about training intensity, recovery, nutrition, stress, cardio and why sometimes two bloody hard sets will do more for you than five half-arsed ones.
The bigger conversation here is about getting honest, asking better questions and figuring out what's actually missing before throwing another workout at the problem.
Because more isn't necessarily better. And if your last rep looks like your first, we might have a little problem.
Sometimes doing more is just the lazy option in fancy dress.
Do less. Do it properly.

What happens when you break into a federal facility to retrieve your own helmet, then have to convince the bloke who runs an airline that you're not a complete liability? Well, of course our Scotty Douglas has a story for that.
Yep, old mate's back, and as usual, we've managed to cover a ridiculous amount of ground. There's a cracker of a story involving federal police, a potentially ruined career and a $283 bottle of scotch that may or may not have helped save his arse. Seriously, you couldn't make this sh*t up if you tried...
But underneath the stories and the lols, we also got back into the whole 'hard things' conversation, why getting comfortable with being uncomfortable matters, and why the hard thing that helps you grow isn't necessarily the one you're already good at.
Oh, and Scotty, we're still waiting for book number three. Get cracking, kid.

Why do we sometimes push people away before they even get the chance to hurt us? And how much of what we call our personality is actually a bunch of survival strategies we picked up as kids?
I had an absolute cracker of a conversation with psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas, who just happens to be the author of Come Closer, about childhood wounds, adult relationships and the stuff we carry into our grown-up lives without even realising it.
If you're a sucker to exploring the protective patterns we develop, the stories we tell ourselves to justify our behaviours, and things like Tiff Cook's emotional avoidance, abandonment issues and other dysfunctional adaptations she's had to overcome so far (or still has a way to go with) then buckle up for the ride and hit play on this bad boy...

Why do we keep getting in our own way, even when we bloody know better?
Beck King and I get stuck into the patterns, fears and stories that keep us repeating the same shit, why the problem isn't always the problem, and what it takes to actually make a change.
Beck shares some of her own journey through depression, anxiety and grief, and we talk about why knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things.
Because let's be honest, most of us don't need another book, podcast or course telling us what to do (except this one, obviously 😂). We need to figure out why we're not doing the bloody thing in the first place.
If you're sick of getting in your own way, this one's for you.
