    Piece by piece

    In this powerful and deeply moving episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I speak with Sheryl Hauk—author, retired music educator, survivor advocate, and an inspiring example of courage and resilience. Sheryl is the author of Piece by Piece: A Memoir of Survival, Resilience, and the Power of Creativity. Her book explores what it means to break the silence, reclaim your voice, and rebuild your life after childhood trauma. With remarkable honesty, dark humour, and deep compassion, Sheryl shares her journey of healing and the important roles that storytelling, music, and creativity have played in helping her make sense of her experiences. We discuss the courage required to speak your truth, the process of putting the pieces of your life back together, and how sharing our stories can create connection, inspire hope, and become a powerful catalyst for change. Sheryl’s story reminds us that while trauma may shape parts of our lives, it does not have to define who we are or what we can become. This is a courageous, heartfelt, and inspiring conversation about survival, resilience, creativity, advocacy, and the healing power of reclaiming your voice. It is a powerful podcast not to be missed. To find out more about Sheryl, Click Here My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

    Pink socks

    What if changing the world could begin with something as simple as a smile, a hug, a heartfelt conversation—or a pair of pink socks? In this uplifting episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I speak with author, entrepreneur and professional smile maker Nick Adkins, the inspiring force behind the global Pink Socks movement. What began in healthcare has grown into a worldwide community of more than 300,000 happy, smiley people, united by a desire to change the world from the ground up through heart speak, human connection, hugs and gifting. Nick and his team believe that real and lasting change happens when people come together to activate solutions and move humanity forward. While politics, bureaucracy and outdated systems often leave people feeling disconnected, Pink Socks reminds us of something we all deeply desire—to feel seen, valued, loved and connected. In this inspiring conversation, Nick shares the story behind the movement, the power of giving without expectation and how small acts of kindness can create an extraordinary ripple across communities, industries and the world.

    Excavating you

    What happens when you’ve spent decades being dependable, capable, and strong for everyone else—but somewhere along the way, you’ve lost sight of yourself? In this powerful episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I speak with Kristen Crabtree, author of Be the You That’s More You Than You’ve Ever Been and creator of Paramour Paradox, a self-recovery ecosystem born not from theory, but from lived experience. For 52 years, Kristen describes herself as forgetting who she truly was—including 22 years in a psychologically abusive marriage. Eventually, she began the courageous process of rebuilding her life, peeling back the layers of expectation, conditioning, hurt, and invisibility to rediscover the person who had always been there. Kristen helps people who have spent years being steady, dependable, and often invisible realise an important truth: it is never too late to feel alive again. We explore identity, psychological abuse, self-worth, courage, healing, and what it means to “excavate” the authentic person underneath all the roles we play and stories we’ve accumulated. If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I now?” or felt there must be more of you waiting to emerge, this conversation is for you. It’s time to start digging, start remembering, and start becoming more YOU than you’ve ever been. This is an honest, hopeful, and empowering conversation—not to be missed.

    The X-Factor

    What if the greatest success strategy isn't about working harder, but becoming the person you're capable of being? In this compelling episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, Andrew Jobling sits down with entrepreneur, technology CEO, real estate investor, bestselling author, and devoted father Ed McCarthy to explore the life-changing lessons that emerged from a near-death experience in the Colorado Rockies. Facing mortality gave Ed absolute clarity about what truly mattered. It inspired a promise to leave behind more than wealth—it inspired him to pass on the wisdom, principles, and life lessons that would help his children, and others, live extraordinary lives. That promise became his bestselling book, Life Letters: 5 Decisions to Wealth, Wisdom, and Happiness. As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms the way we work, live, and create value, Ed believes success will depend less on technical skills and more on developing what he calls the real X-Factor—character, wisdom, accountability, purpose, adaptability, and intentional living. This conversation is packed with practical insights on creating lasting wealth, building resilience, finding meaning through adversity, and designing a life that allows you to become your Highest Self. In this episode, you'll discover: Why a near-death experience completely changed Ed's perspective on success. The five life decisions that create wealth, wisdom, and happiness. How to prepare for the AI revolution rather than fear it. Why taking 100% responsibility changes everything. The importance of designing your life intentionally instead of living by default. How adversity can become your greatest teacher. Practical strategies for building financial freedom and personal fulfilment. What it really means to become your Highest Self. Why your greatest competitive advantage in the future will be your humanity. Whether you're navigating career change, building a business, raising a family, or simply searching for greater purpose, this episode offers timeless principles that will help you thrive in an ever-changing world. The future belongs to those who are prepared—not just with new skills, but with a stronger mindset, clearer values, and a vision for the life they truly want to create.

    Balancing the brain

    What if better mental health wasn't just about changing your thoughts—but about bringing your entire mind, body, and spirit back into balance? In this fascinating and thought-provoking episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, Andrew Jobling is joined by integrative mental health expert Dr Cristine Hull, whose unique approach blends psychology, natural medicine, neuroscience, energy healing, and spirituality to help people create lasting emotional wellbeing. Drawing on decades of experience and her Doctorate in Natural Medicine from Quantum University, Cristine shares a fresh perspective on mental health that challenges conventional thinking. Rather than viewing emotional struggles as something to simply manage, she explores how balancing the brain's chemistry and addressing the whole person can unlock healing, resilience, and greater joy. Cristine is the author of 10 Ways to Balance Your Brain Chemistry, creator of the Zero Point Meridian Technique, and host of online Miracles and Meditation groups. Her work bridges science and spirituality, creating a transformational model that feels less like traditional therapy and more like an awakening. Together, Andrew and Cristine discuss practical strategies for improving mental wellbeing, the connection between emotional health and physical health, the importance of brain chemistry, and how simple daily practices can profoundly influence the way we think, feel, and live. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or simply looking to optimise your mental and emotional health, this conversation offers fresh insights, hope, and practical wisdom. In this episode, you'll discover: Why balancing your brain chemistry is essential for emotional wellbeing. The powerful connection between psychology, natural medicine, and spirituality. How unresolved emotional patterns can impact physical health. What the Zero Point Meridian Technique is and how it supports healing. Practical habits that can improve mental clarity, resilience, and inner peace. Why true healing involves addressing the mind, body, and spirit together. How science and spirituality can complement rather than compete with each other. Everyday ways to create greater balance, calm, and fulfilment. This is a powerful, paradigm-shifting conversation that encourages us to rethink what mental health really means and reminds us that healing is possible when we embrace the whole person.

    The wonder of grace

    What happens after betrayal? Can trust ever be rebuilt? Is forgiveness possible? And where does grace fit into one of life's most painful experiences? In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I sit down with Tim Tedder, an affair recovery coach and counsellor who has spent more than two decades helping individuals and couples navigate the devastating impact of infidelity. What makes Tim's work so powerful is that it comes from lived experience. After facing the consequences of his own unfaithfulness, Tim embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, accountability and transformation. Rather than allowing his past to define him, he chose to use it as a catalyst to help others find hope in the midst of heartbreak. Since then, Tim has supported countless people through every stage of relationship recovery—from everyday relationship struggles to the complex trauma of betrayal. More recently, he has focused on helping unfaithful partners understand the deeper reasons behind their behaviour so they can create healthier, more secure and more authentic relationships. Together, we explore the incredible power of grace—not as an excuse for harmful behaviour, but as an essential ingredient for healing, personal growth and lasting change. In this episode, we discuss: Tim's personal journey from betrayal to healing. Why affairs happen and what often lies beneath the behaviour. The emotional impact of infidelity on both partners. The role of accountability in rebuilding trust. Why shame keeps people stuck and grace helps people grow. What genuine forgiveness really looks like. How couples can begin the long road toward reconciliation. Why understanding yourself is the foundation of healthy relationships. Practical insights for anyone wanting stronger, more connected relationships. Finding hope after even the deepest wounds. Whether you've experienced betrayal personally, supported someone who has, or simply want to build stronger relationships, this conversation offers profound wisdom, compassion and practical guidance. Tim's message has always been clear: "To creatively communicate a message of hope and healing to wounded people." This episode does exactly that. It is an inspiring reminder that while betrayal may break trust, it doesn't have to define the rest of your story. With courage, honesty, accountability and grace, healing is possible.
