    She Moved 18 Times Before 18. Motherhood Finally Broke Her Open

    Libby Ward grew up in a turbulent home. Single mum, mental health disorders, 18 moves before she turned 18, a psychologically abusive stepfather on a remote farm, and a role she had held since she was eight years old: the person who made sure everyone else was okay. When she became a mother herself, she performed the life. Matching outfits. Holiday cards. Clean house. Home-cooked meals. Everything she had never had, given perfectly. And then the second child arrived and nothing would stop crying. The first moment she was honest with herself happened at midnight, in a driveway, in the Canadian winter, kneeling over a pile of gift-filled shoeboxes that had spilled from the back of her SUV. Looking at the shiny wrapping paper scattered across the ground, she thought: I am this shoebox. Beautiful on the outside. What is the point in having a pretty shoebox if what's inside is absolutely broken? She went to therapy. She tried to check the box on it and get back to spinning the plates. Three years later, on a chaotic morning with her three-year-old and five-year-old in the back of the car, a granola bar refused, boots and coats and a babysitter who had just cancelled — she hit the brakes and thirty-five years of suppressed rage came out of her body. She heard her own mother's voice coming out of her own mouth. She turned around and saw her children afraid of her. Then her son, who had speech delays and had been using sign language, handed her back his granola bar and signed one word: open. That was all he had wanted. Her to open it. This episode is about what it costs to perform a life instead of living it, and what it takes to stop.

    Drunk to Be Herself. Then Astrology | Kayli Halliwell

    Kayli Halliwell spent eleven years in Melbourne going out three times a week, using substance and alcohol to push through, and waiting until everyone else was drunk before she could say what she actually thought. On the outside it looked like freedom. On the inside she was depressed, disconnected, and kept asking herself the same question: is there something wrong with me? Then Melbourne went into the world's longest lockdown. With nothing to put the feelings down, astrology found her during a Saturn return she had not planned for. When she came back out to the world she had built, she genuinely could not go back. The confirmation came at a works party. She spent two hours in a toilet cubicle, high, writing to herself about how none of it was aligned anymore. She has been a hairdresser since she was sixteen. She is thirty-four. In three months she is pulling the plug, moving to Margaret River, and going all in on astrology with four months of savings. It just has to work. This episode covers the eleven-year cycle, the Saturn return, three years of forced loneliness, the inner child speaking when the big feelings come up, and what it actually costs to leave an identity you have held since you were a teenager. If this episode has brought something up for you, you are not alone. Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14. Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636.

    World Record. Couldn't Put On My Socks. — Mikael Avatar

    Mikael Avatar grew up in Sweden with cerebral palsy and decided at ten years old he was going to the Olympics. He trained every morning from four in the morning. He was coached by his own training group as a child — people aged seven to thirty-one who followed the books he was reading because he had no other guide. He trained for seventeen years. In August 1996 at the Atlanta Paralympics, with lightning having stopped the competition three times and 68,000 people still in the stadium, he broke the world record in the long jump. Carl Lewis had taken his ninth Olympic gold in the same pit two weeks earlier. Carl Lewis never held a world record in the long jump. A few years later, Mikael was getting famous. TV, newspapers, government speaking gigs for five thousand dollars. He was at the peak of his life and could not put on his socks. His hands cramped and shook in the cold. Nothing fixed it. A friend offered a house in Thailand. Five days later, pain free. He went back to Sweden. Three days later, the pain was back. He bought a one-way ticket. This episode is about the identity you build around achievement, what happens when your body refuses to keep running it, and why sometimes the bravest thing is to stop.

    She Was 4th to Fall Ill in That Role. Her Replacement Died.

    Kelly Swingler was passing out on train platforms. Falling from the top of escalators to the bottom. Getting up. Going to work. She never missed a day. She thought that was strength.   It was burnout. And it nearly killed her.   By the time she received two phone calls in 48 hours — the first telling her that the woman who replaced her in her corporate role had died alone in a hotel room; the second telling her she had been the fourth person in that HR director role to become seriously ill — Kelly had already built a business to help others avoid what she'd been through.   The problem: she'd burned out a second time doing it.   Kelly Swingler is a global burnout educator who has spent 12 years joining the dots on what burnout actually is, what it isn't, and why the standard definition misses most of it.   Topics: recognising burnout before it hospitalises you, why high performers are most at risk, the hidden signals most people explain away, and what genuine recovery actually looks like.   If this episode has brought something up for you, you are not alone.

    He Had a Police Check. 45 Blows. She Survived.

    Simone O'Brien was a single mother of three who chose a man from internet dating because he had a police check. She thought that meant safe.   Nine months later, he came to her door. What followed lasted ten minutes — 45 to 50 blows with a baseball bat.   Her skull is now titanium. Her right eye is a prosthetic. Her son Zach, ten years old, stood in the hospital corridor every day and vomited because he said that was not his mummy in there. Her children were called in twice to say goodbye.   She had a 3 to 5 percent chance of survival.   She ran the New York Marathon.   In this conversation, Simone tells the full story — the life before, the man who seemed safe, the night itself, the recovery that defied every prediction, and what she does now with the life she almost didn't keep.   One of the most remarkable conversations in this podcast's history.   If this episode has brought something up for you, you are not alone. 1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732 — 24/7 | Lifeline: 13 11 14 — 24/7   Follow the show for new episodes every week.   Also available on: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/feck-it-no-more/id1877751814 YouTube: www.youtube.com/@FeckItNoMore   If you've had a "feck it, no more" moment and want to share your story — or know someone who should — reach out to Glenn directly: glenn@spcsuccess.com

    Nobody Tells You This About Starting Over After 40

    Your logic brain says you’ve passed the point of no return, but that feeling in your gut says you still have time to add value and find freedom. Glenn Monaghan dives into the reality of starting over later in life and why the "midlife crisis" label is often just a cover for a long-overdue awakening. Glenn opens up about his own turning point, triggered by the death of a close friend and the realization that his high-stress career didn't align with his values. He explains why reaching your 40s or 50s provides a unique set of tools—experience, resilience, and often more financial stability—that younger versions of ourselves simply didn't have. This episode challenges the belief that you’re stuck in your current path and offers a direct way to figure out what you actually want by first identifying what you refuse to tolerate anymore. Key topics covered: Why starting over at 50 is a significant advantage. Using "anti-visions" to find your true career path. Overcoming the fear of looking stupid during a life change. The Roger Bannister effect: Why belief is the prerequisite for personal growth. Whether you are facing a rock bottom moment or just a stale career, it’s time to decide which voice you’re going to listen to. Follow the show for new episodes every week.

    This is Not My Life." Amanda’s Shift Into Construction

    The whole world shut down, and for the first time, Amanda had nowhere to hide from the truth: she didn't recognize her own life anymore. Working temp jobs and pushing paperwork, she hit a professional rock bottom where the unhappiness became impossible to ignore. Amanda joins Glenn to discuss her "feck it" turning point and her unexpected leap into the commercial construction industry. Despite having no background in the field and facing skepticism from her family, she moved from administrative assistant to project coordinator in a single year. She talks candidly about the intimidation of being the only woman on a panel of experts and why she now prefers "the slab" over a comfortable office job. Key topics include: The COVID-era realization that forced a total career pivot. Overcoming the "I’m just a girl" mindset to enter a male-dominated trade. How construction teaches you to think on your feet and trust your instincts. The reality of being young and female in an industry of 20-year veterans. Follow the show for new episodes every week.

    You're Not Stuck — You're Just Afraid of the Gap

    You’re standing in the gap between the life you’re living and the one you deserve, paralyzed by the unknown. It’s easy to judge people for staying in abusive relationships, dead-end jobs, or toxic cycles, but the reality is that comfort is a dangerous drug. In this conversation, I’m breaking down why we choose the familiar—even when it’s destroying us—and how to identify the "comfort trap" that keeps you from hitting your true turning point. We’re going to cover: The difference between the fear of failing and the fear of staying stuck. Why you don’t need a perfect plan to change your life—just the first step. The brutal truth about why you stay in situations that are holding you back. How to use your rock bottom as the foundation for real personal growth. You don't need all the answers to start moving forward. You just need to stop pretending that your current "comfort" isn't actually your biggest obstacle. It’s time to stop waiting for permission to change. Follow the show for new episodes every week.
