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

Bad Dates, Big Laughs, and Beginner Energy | Jordana...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/22

Buckle up for this absolute firecracker of a guest... I stumbled across Jordana recently when she presented at an event I was attending and it was instant wannabe bestie vibes for me! She's one of those humans who aren't afraid to dive into new (and somewhat terrifying) adventures, like learning a lil' abracadabra to become a magician and doing stand-up comedy. You know, the kind of stuff that makes getting in the boxing ring for a punch in the snoz seem like a walk in the park, if you ask me. We

Integrity vs Algorithms (You Don't Have to Be a D*ck)...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/18

I jumped on the mic after a morning doom scroll that left a bad taste in my mouth (as they often can). Two smart, credible humans I follow and generally value their content... One publicly and shamelessly tearing the other apart. But this is not the exception these days, it's sadly becoming the rule. Just today's standard algorithm bait dressed up as 'education.' And it got me thinking.We say we value integrity, kindness, critical thinking. Then we reward outrage, pile-ons, and public shaming

Fawn... When 'Nice' is a Trauma Response | Ingrid...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/15

Ahhh we all know the big three. 'Fight, flight, freeze'... The trauma response greatest hits. But nobody warned us about their sneaky little sibling, 'fawn'. That quiet shape-shifting, chronic people-pleasing “yeah I’m fine” while your insides are setting off silent alarm bells. In this ep I sat down with clinical psychologist Ingrid Clayton, and we got stuck right into it… The trauma response that hides in plain sight. Turns out that fawning is survival mode dressed up as

Adrenaline, Identity & Regret | Nick Morrison - 996

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/11

Maaaate.... Nick Morrison went from riding full-grown bulls at 12 years old to breaking his neck, breaking his back, racking up more than 50 concussions and eventually losing the ability to speak. Let that sink in. A stand-up comedian and keynote speaker who literally couldn’t talk. We went deep into identity. The cowboy up mentality. The addiction to adrenaline. The need to impress your peers. The regret that lingers when your career ends at 21 and you’re left asking who you were

Crap That (Sadly) Doesn’t Disappear When We 'Succeed'...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/08

G’day legends, this one’s me, solo, slightly caffeinated, and fresh off a boxing session so my brain is basically still shadowboxing like a boss. I'm eager to riff on some sneaky crap that keeps punching us humans in the face and causing us to spin our wheels... Like the idea that 'success' doesn’t delete fear, self-doubt, discomfort, or imposter syndrome. We keep telling ourselves this story that once we get good enough, experienced enough, and legit enough, those feelings will

Unlearning Silence | Elaine Lin Hering - 994

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/04

I loved this one! Elaine Lin Hering is all about silence. Not the peaceful, meditative kind. The learned kind... The kind where you know exactly what you want to say… and then don’t. We talked about why 'just speak up' is crap advice, why some of us are post-processors who realise what we think three days later, and how hinting is not the same as being clear. Apparently 'Are you hungry?' is a yes or no question. Who knew. It’s not about saying it perfectly or getting the response

When Work Breaks You | Andrew Atkinson - 993

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/03/01

I sat down with Andrew 'Atto' Atkinson, nearly 29 years in Victoria Police and a lifetime of stories that sound like a Netflix series but come with very real scars. We talked about the covert surveillance work that had him breaking into houses, planting listening devices, tracking cars, heart racing, sometimes while the occupants were still home. High risk. High reward. Calculated, but never casual. Then we moved into the part people do not see. Atto was deployed as a UN peacekeeper in East Timor

Chocolate Cake, CPR, & Running Toward Danger | Scott...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/25

I waited eight months to get Scotty Douglas strapped into the hot seat here at RWTP HQ, and doesn't he have some stories to tell! We went from Paris kitchens where he got dressed down by French chefs, to running a café with brown paper bag accounting and zero tax literacy, to cooking breakfast for the Dean who took a chance on him and changed the trajectory of his life. Scott’s story is a wild and rambunctious ride. Chef to advanced life support paramedic. Service industry to service

The Part Nobody Talks About After Cancer | Vickie...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/22

This conversation hit a little differently. Vicki Scott joined me to talk about slowing down, perspective, and what really changes when life punches you square in the face. After being diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer, Vicki found herself navigating not just treatment, surgery, and survival, but the unexpected emotional aftermath that nobody really prepares you for. We talked about the pressure we put on ourselves to achieve, prove, and keep pushing, even after something life altering. About

Family Estrangement, The Cutoff Culture & the Cost of...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/18

Tania Khazaal works in the family estrangement space, and she came in hot with a message a lot of people will hate at first… but probably need to hear. Is today’s therapy language and our feeds flooded with social media buzzwords creating the perfect permission slip to cut people off before we’ve actually learned how our nervous system works, how to communicate properly, or how to stop making everyone else the villain in our story? Tania shared her own story of cutting off her mum

Animal Behaviour 101: Dogs, Cats… and Us Idiots |...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/15

I booked this chat thinking I'd be talking to an animal behaviour expert. Turns out, I was basically signing up for a gentle but very accurate psychological assessment via my pets. Mark Vette and I talked dogs, cats, bonding, anxiety, routine, over-attachment, and why our animals know us better than most humans ever will. We went deep into why dogs feel like family, how cats absolutely train us without apology, and how so many behaviour “problems” are really mirrors we don’t always

Everest Is What Happens When You Don’t Quit | Alison...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/11

A hearty chat with Alison Bowen escalates quickly... I mean you can't escalate a whole lot more than the Mount Everest Summit, hey!? Quite an understated lass, Alison has been in the midst of her Seven Summits journey, which started not with Everest glory, but with joining a Rover group, doing weekend hikes, getting curious, and slowly chipping away at bigger and higher mountains over nearly two decades. What I loved most about this chat was how unromanticised it was. This wasn’t about chasing

Carrying What The Job Leaves Behind | Tony Pearce - 987

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/08

Righto, Tony Pearce is back. And yep, he’s still head down, tail up, doing wildly wholesome and mildly unhinged things in the name of mental health. We rewound to Tony’s Trek in 2023, when he looked at the brutal reality of mental injury and suicide risk in emergency services and basically went, nah, we can’t just keep talking about this and doing nothing. So he walked 1500km through fire-affected parts of northeast and east Victoria and raised serious money for early intervention

Same Wine, Different Brain | Harps & Tiff - 986

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/04

This one is basically me and Harps doing what we do best. Taking the piss, accidentally saying something deeply meaningful, then laughing so it doesn’t get too serious. We talked about goals, plans, and why ticking boxes doesn’t always fix how you feel. That weird moment where you get the thing you thought you wanted and realise it wasn’t the antidote. Identity, perceived value, and the stuff we chase without really checking the cost. Then we went down a rabbit hole on perception

When Research Triggers Your Own Trauma | Nicole...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/02/01

Nicole Liddell is doing her PhD on coercive control, specifically how technology gets used to keep the control going even after someone leaves. And honestly, the examples are equal parts terrifying and ridiculously sneaky. Bank transfers with threats in the reference line. Smart home systems taken over remotely. A bloody robovac being used like a creepy little spy cam on wheels. But the part that really landed was the human cost of researching this stuff when you’ve lived it. Nicole talks

The Day You Stop Being The Victim | Jason Blyth - 984

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/01/28

'Big Dog' Jason Blyth is BACK! An origin story so massive I didn't even attempt to cover it all in our first chat in episode 967... In our second chat (as we dart off in multiple directions along the way) we essentially came together to talk about Jason's biological father... what it was like seeking him out and meeting him, and the way trauma can shape identity like a shadow you didn’t ask for. We talk forgiveness and launch into the hero’s journey stuff, choice points, the dark cave,

Fired Up About Bushfires - Mick Harrington - 983

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/01/25

Mick Harrington is back, aka the Mower Man, and honestly I could listen to that bloke sing the phone book and still get emotional. But this time round we are getting fired up on all things bushfires... Funding. Public land management. The gap between decisions made in Spring Street and the reality on the ground when your town is literally on fire. Mick talked about communities being left vulnerable, old trucks, not enough fuel reduction, not enough basic roadside slashing, and the mental toll that

The Aftermath of Christian Patriarchy - Cait West - 982

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/01/21

Imagine what its like growing up in a religious cult... Cait managed to wriggle herself free from the Christian Patriarchy in her mid 20's... breaking free from a rigid belief system and an emotionally abusive father.. Cait was homeschooled, isolated, taught that obedience was love and silence was safety. No choices. No agency. No room for anger, desire, or even curiosity. We talked about courtship instead of dating, emotional purity instead of emotional literacy, and what it does to a person when

Worry, Control, Acceptance & Intuition | Andrea...

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/01/18

In this chat with Andrea Gullick gets right into the uncomfortable stuff. Loss, identity, control, and the stories we tell ourselves just to keep functioning. Andrea shared what it was like losing her husband suddenly, navigating a baby with cancer, and becoming a young widow while still trying to look like she was coping. We talked about the mask of being strong, how long you can wear it for, and what happens when it finally cracks. We dug into worry, intuition, anxiety, and the difference between

New Year, Same You, Now What | Harps & Tiff - 980

Roll With The Punches ·

2026/01/14

Alright, so this one is basically Harps and I coming in hot for 2026 like, hello fresh page, who dis. We riff hard on the weird psychology of dates, New Year’s resolutions, and why humans act like January 1 is some magical portal when it’s literally just a number on a calendar... not to mention the thing nobody wants to admit, that most people want the reward without the work, and we keep trying to find the outcome without the discomfort. Fresh year, real talk, and a reminder that you
