    Gambling Nearly Killed Her. Now She's Pushing Back.

    Kate Seselja had made a conscious decision to avoid drugs. She barely drank. She knew addiction ran in her family and had chosen to stay away from it. At 18, her boyfriend sat her down at a poker machine. She put $20 in and won. That win was the hook. Within a month she was putting her entire pay in on payday — it would last an hour. She lost $30,000 in a single month. For 15 years the machines had her. She had six children through it. She reached out for help repeatedly and was turned away every time. Nobody told her that gambling addiction makes you five times more likely to take your own life than any other addiction. Nobody told her the machine was designed to do exactly what it did to her. She was, in her own words, the perfect customer. Kate Seselja is now co-chair of GHLEE — Gambling Harm Lived Experience Experts — and founder of the Hope Project. She has over 12,000 signatures on the Loss Limits Not Lost Lives petition and is actively pushing for gambling reform at a federal level. She is done blaming herself. She is done letting the industry off the hook.

    The Addiction Did Damage. The Hiding Did More.

    Mark Kempster knew he had a gambling problem within two years. He hid it for another eight. His first bet was at 14, at the local TAB, surrounded by the sporting club culture where a beer and a punt after footy was just what you did. Then smartphones arrived. By 20 he had a dozen gambling apps and accounts with all of them. Across the next decade he lost at least $100,000. But the money wasn't the worst of it. The hiding was.  Lie upon lie upon lie, for eight years, to everyone he loved, because he feared that if anyone knew, they would decide he wasn't worth their time. Then came the day he outlaid every cent in his account. By the time he left the pub he didn't have a dollar to his name. In a car park, his legs went from under him, his nose started bleeding, and everything he'd been holding in for a decade came out.   His partner gave him one chance to prove himself. He took it. Mark now works with the Alliance for Gambling Reform as a lived experience advocate, and right now there's a bill in the Senate that could change Australia's gambling laws.   The petition is open to sign at ✍️ SIGN THE PETITION: Ban online gambling ads! - The Australia Institute   If this episode has brought something up for you, you are not alone.   Gambling Help Online: 1800 858 858 - 24/7   Lifeline: 13 11 14 - 24/7  Support to Quit Online Gambling: www.betstop.gov.au www.gamban.com Also, on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube - search Feck It, No More.   If you've had a "feck it, no more" moment - reach out: glenn@spcsuccess.com

    Willpower Doesn't Work. Here's What Actually Does.

    Here's the truth about willpower: it was never going to be enough. After 22, neuroscience says 90% of what you do runs on your subconscious mind. The habits you've built, good and bad, become automated programs your brain runs on repeat to save energy. And when you try to overpower those programs with willpower, you're fighting biology with a resource that runs out exactly when you're most stressed, most tired, and most likely to slip. This episode breaks down how the three-part habit loop works, why you can't actually delete a bad habit but you absolutely can hijack it, and the single most practical tool Glenn has used with clients to remove decision-making from the equation before the urge even arrives. Case studies from previous guests Kayli Halliwell (social anxiety and alcohol) and Enoch (gambling) show how the loop works in real life. Plus Glenn shares his own experience with an addictive personality and the single redirect that changed his trajectory. The practical tool is the If/Then framework. You'll be able to write yours out by the time this episode ends. If this episode has brought something up for you, please reach out. Lifeline: 13 11 14 (24/7). Gambling Help Online: 1800 858 858.

    Alcohol & Homelessness Recovery: The Question That Saved Him

    Jaron's mum told him recently that the first time he was homeless, he was nine months old. He was a street kid in Perth. He spent most of his life as an alcoholic — by his own account, drunk for the better part of two decades. At 37, he suffered a stroke. His family fell apart. He lost his job.And he found himself homeless again — as if twenty years had simply gone down the drain. He ended up at St Pat's in Fremantle, a supported lodging facility, where a persistent fellow resident eventually convinced him to take on a head lodger role. It was there — surrounded by AA meetings, Carl Jung audiobooks, and a meth dealer he eventually reported alone despite every street instinct telling him not to — that somethingshifted. Someone asked him a question nobody had ever asked before:"Sounds like you've been drunk half your life. Who do you want to be?" He had never thought about that.Jaron is now an advocate for lived experience in the homelessness sector, working to ensure people who have actually been on the streets inform the policies meant to help them. This conversation covers homelessness, alcoholism, stroke, sobriety, the shadow self, community, volunteering, and what it means to do the right thing when nobody is watching.If this episode has brought something up for you, you are not alone.

    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.
