Roll With The Punches

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human. Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing: What does it really take to get back up when life drops you? We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we

The Game, the Drugs, the Fallout | Rod Owen - 917

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/06/11

In this ep, I sat down with Rod Owen, and let me tell you, this chat doesn’t pull any punches. Rod’s a former AFL player who opens up in an incredibly raw and powerful way about the abuse he endured as a kid (and in athlete), the addiction that followed him for decades, and how he hit rock bottom and clawed his way back. We talked about his footy days, the drinking culture, the drugs, the attempt he made on his own life, and the long road to recovery... Rod’s now over six years

ChatGPT Lost It's Sh*t | Jem Fuller - 916

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/06/08

Jem's back and we're shooting the breeze about getting a lil' help from our AI friends... or not, in my case this week since ChatGPT had full-blown meltdown and lost its mind on me. We compare AI relationships to real-life ones, talk about manners in digital conversations, and even chat about giving our AI pals names (like 'Chatters'). Jem shares a gorgeous story about a random connection that led to having massive real-life impact... like hundreds of Indian kids getting their education funded kind

The Perfect Storm That Changed Everything | Donna...

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/06/04

We covered a lot of ground, and some of it went deep, so a heads-up that this episode does touch on mental health struggles. Donna shared her personal story of going from what looked like a successful, 'together' life to a sudden, overwhelming mental health crisis that nearly took her life. What’s wild is how fast it all happened... from a work conflict to suicidal thoughts in the span of just over a week. She talked about the shame, the silence, and the pressures that built up. But also, how

Blood, Sweat, and Olympic Glory | Caitlin Parker - 914

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/06/01

This one was a banger. I sat down with a new boxing bestie, Olympic bronze medalist Caitlin Parker, and we got into all the good stuff! From her humble start as a shy kid in Taekwondo to breaking barriers in boxing and becoming the first Aussie woman to medal in the sport at the Olympics. Caity is real, hilarious, and totally open about the grind, the pressure, the heartbreak, and the highs that come with elite-level sport. She dropped truth bombs about making weight, bouncing back from Tokyo,

Meaning, Misery & The Messy Middle | Bobby Cappuccio...

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/28

What starts as a blurry camera and a backwards 'ON AIR' sign (this stuff comes with the territory when working with the great man) quickly tumbles into the kind of deeply human, wildly philosophical rollercoaster that only Bobby Cappuccio can deliver. In this episode, we revisit Man’s Search for Meaning (a book that's shaped us both along the way) and unravel how context, timing, and perspective can change everything. We dive into the evolution of self-help (and how it often misses the mark),

The Mountains Called | Kerryn Vaughan - 912

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/25

My mate Kerryn Vaughan is back and fresh off a soul-stirring trip to Nepal, and wow, strap in because this convo goes everywhere. From being swept off her feet by the energy of the Himalayas to raw moments of anger and conflict that cracked her heart wide open. Kerryn shares the wild beauty of community homestays, being guided by Buddhist artists, sunrise blessings from solo monks, and the kind of encounters that shift your view of the world forever. But it's not all serene mountain tops and

Strength Ain't Built in Calm Waters | Tammy Van Wisse...

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/21

Well, strap in, team. Because this one’s an epic! Tammy van Wisse is not your average swimmer... unless your average swimmer has clocked over 65,000km in the water, swum the Bass Strait (yep, the ONLY human ever to do it), broken records in honour of childhood heroes, and oh yeah… has a day named after her in New Jersey. No biggie. But this chat wasn’t just about world records and wild ocean swims. We dove deep into the heart of endurance and what drives someone to keep going when

More Than Just Footy | Simon Madden - 910

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/18

This one was a bloody ripper. I sat down with the legendary Essendon ruckman, Simon Madden - business coach, speaker, and all-round top bloke, and as expected, we covered a hell of a lot more than just footy. We talked about aging without getting old, the art of staying relevant, and what it means to still be growing, pushing, and learning well into your sixties. We shared stories on failure, grit, and the sneaky little power of the word 'yet'. We unpacked identity, purpose after retirement, and why

For Simon, For the Ones Still Standing | Tracie Lund...

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/14

Well… this one punched me right in the heart. And honestly? It still hasn’t let go. Tracie Lund is someone I’ve crossed paths with before. She's nothing short of a powerhouse in her community, someone who speaks up, shows up, and gets sh*t done. But nothing could have prepared me for the conversation we had this time around. Just over one week after we recorded this episode and before bringing this to air, Tracie’s husband Simon passed away. Simon had dedicated 26 years to

What IS Courage? (Like Actually) | Professor Cynthia...

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/11

What IS courage? I’ve been getting increasingly curious... mainly because I talk about it a LOT. I talk about how, when I reflect on ‘young Tiff,’ shethought she was courageous for doing the things that scared other people (while artfully dodging the stuff that really scared her). Solid little facade, really. I talk about how the world seems to throw being fearless and being courageous into the same bucket, when really, they’re just second cousins who rarely show up at the

Betrayed by Australia’s Greatest Conman | Tracy Hall...

2025/05/07

Geez, I thought I'd met some bad eggs in the online dating world... Tracy Hall's experience sure takes the cake though. In 2016 she met Max Tavita online and for the next 18 months they built a seemingly solid relationship with great plans for the future. Until... she woke up one morning to a Crime Stoppers video of him being arrested. Turns out, Max Tavita wasn’t Max Tavita at all. His real name was Hamish McLaren (or Hamish Watson, or Hamish Maxwell pending which day you spoke to him) and he

Gangs, Grief, Heroin & Hope - Tim Haigh - 906

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/05/04

I sat down with Tim Haigh and walked through a life most people couldn’t even stomach watching in a movie. Born into violence, raised in poverty, consumed by addiction, and locked up by 17. Tim didn’t just survive the system, he walked straight through the fire and came out the other side swinging. From gangs to grief, heroin to hope, Tim’s story is gritty, raw, and sobering... literally and metaphorically. It’s about the cost of belonging, the hunger for identity, and the

Sneaky Stress Signals: The Subtle Art of Falling...

Dr. Cam McDonald is back in the hot seat and we’re rummaging around in his brilliant PH360 Precision Health brain and talking about those sneaky, silent stressors that pile up in the background of our lives and bodies without us even realising. As we know different environments and different stuff affects different people. Dr. Cam is sharing some gold on why stress isn’t just about work, deadlines or a screaming toddler. Sometimes it’s the bloody cold air, the clutter in your

Growing From the Hard Stuff | Richard Tedeschi - 904

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/04/27

Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Richard Tedeschi, he's the bloke who literally coined the termpost-traumatic growth, and ya'll know that's a massive part of what this show is all about! We’re pulling apart what resilience really means (and what it definitely doesn’t), why the ‘just do more hard things’ mantra can actually miss the point, and how sometimes what looks like strength is just unprocessed survival mode. We talk about why real growth usually kicks off when

Fence Sitters | Harps & Tiff - 903

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/04/23

Well, this was one of those chats that takes a wild ride... from blind boxing bouts to the blind spots in how we see ourselves and others. We talk about the power of presence, the problem with performative self-help, what real resilience actually is, and why so many of us wait for a crisis to start living with purpose. We go deep on all things from burnout to boundaries, and why sitting on the fence is underrated, and the importance of actually having hard conversations instead of just venting to

Misfit. Survivor. Leader. | Dima Ghawi - 902

2025/04/20

What happens when the stories we’re raised on become the shackles we need to break? Today's guest, Dima Ghawi was born in Turkey, raised in Jordan, and is now living in the US... Her journey is one of defiance, resilience, and rebirth. From escaping an abusive marriage to shattering generational expectations (and quite literally, the metaphorical vase she was taught to be), Dima shares how she found freedom, purpose, and identity on the other side of survival. We talked about the silent weight

The Flick on the Ear we All Need | Mark LeBusque - 901

Roll With The Punches ·

2025/04/18

I’ve been doing a lot of shifting lately. Structuring my time differently. Saying no to things that used to get a default yes. Creating space not just in my calendar, but in my head and heart for things that actually matter to me. In this episode, I sat down with my mate Mark LeBusque and we spoke about all of it. The constant recalibration. The resistance to slowing down. The trap of chasing what we think success should look like. The way we celebrate wins but never interrogate them. We

You Can't Burn Spirit: A Father's Horrific Act of...

Imagine this… You’re five years old, and the world is at your feet. You’re in the car with your eight-year-old bro, just picked up from childcare by your dad. But your dad has a plan. That plan involves two gas cylinders he’d strategically placed in the back seat earlier that day… and a cigarette. A horrific act of revenge. A father prepared to kill his two sons (and himself) to spite their mother. Not just to rob her of custody, but to take her children from her

Girls Making History | Tara Morrison - 899

2025/04/09

This ep I’m hanging out with 21-year-old pocket rocket and Aussie road racing prodigy Tara Morrison... and let me tell you, she ain't just riding motorcycles, she’s rewriting the books. Tara's the only female racer in all three national ASBK (Australian Super Bike Championship) classes, taking on the boys and carving up the track like an absolute legend. From her first time knee-down in her mum’s leathers to breaking records (and bones), this girl's grit is next level. We chat

2025/04/06

Evolutionary psychologist Bill von Hippel joins me in this ep to pull back the curtain on how our minds got wired, why our ancient instincts still run the show in today's modern world, and what that means for connection, courage, happiness, and that frustrating tug-of-war between who we are and who we think we should be. We talk about what resilience really is (and what it isn’t), how our desire to 'stand out' often leaves us disconnected, and the tricky balance between autonomy and belonging
