Roll With The Punches is where we step into the ring and go toe to toe with the hard sh*t life throws our way. Hosted by former boxing champ turned strength coach and speaker Tiff Cook, RWTP brings you big conversations with world-class guests about psychology, relationships, trauma, the brain, and the patterns that can make a bloody mess of our lives. If you're curious about human behaviour, keen to challenge the stories you tell yourself, and want to understand why the hell you do what you do, you're in the right place. Tune in. Tiff's in your corner. The goal? To question what you've always believed, understand yourself a little better, and turn those aha moments into actual change. Because knowing better and doing better are two very different things. And let's be honest... life's gonna keep throwing punches. We may as well learn how to roll with them.

    When Doing More Is Just Lazy Thinking | Tiff Cook - 1063

    How many times have you not been getting the results you want and your immediate response is to do MORE? More training, more cardio, more sessions, more effort... Well, what if that's actually the lazy option? In this solo ep, I'm having a hell of a rant about why doing more isn't always the answer, particularly when it comes to strength training for women over 40. We get into why so many of us go back to doing the things that worked in our twenties and thirties, without stopping to consider that our bodies, lives and capacity have changed. I talk about training intensity, recovery, nutrition, stress, cardio and why sometimes two bloody hard sets will do more for you than five half-arsed ones. The bigger conversation here is about getting honest, asking better questions and figuring out what's actually missing before throwing another workout at the problem. Because more isn't necessarily better. And if your last rep looks like your first, we might have a little problem. Sometimes doing more is just the lazy option in fancy dress. Do less. Do it properly.

    The Federal Offence & a Bottle of Whiskey | Scotty Douglas - 1062

    What happens when you break into a federal facility to retrieve your own helmet, then have to convince the bloke who runs an airline that you're not a complete liability? Well, of course our Scotty Douglas has a story for that.  Yep, old mate's back, and as usual, we've managed to cover a ridiculous amount of ground. There's a cracker of a story involving federal police, a potentially ruined career and a $283 bottle of scotch that may or may not have helped save his arse. Seriously, you couldn't make this sh*t up if you tried... But underneath the stories and the lols, we also got back into the whole 'hard things' conversation, why getting comfortable with being uncomfortable matters, and why the hard thing that helps you grow isn't necessarily the one you're already good at.  Oh, and Scotty, we're still waiting for book number three. Get cracking, kid.

    Come Closer? Yeah, Nah... The Art of Emotional Avoidance. | Dr. Galit Atlas - 1061

    Why do we sometimes push people away before they even get the chance to hurt us? And how much of what we call our personality is actually a bunch of survival strategies we picked up as kids? I had an absolute cracker of a conversation with psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas, who just happens to be the author of Come Closer, about childhood wounds, adult relationships and the stuff we carry into our grown-up lives without even realising it. If you're a sucker to exploring the protective patterns we develop, the stories we tell ourselves to justify our behaviours, and things like Tiff Cook's emotional avoidance, abandonment issues and other dysfunctional adaptations she's had to overcome so far (or still has a way to go with) then buckle up for the ride and hit play on this bad boy...

    You're Not Broken. You're Running a Pattern. | Rebekah King - 1060

    Why do we keep getting in our own way, even when we bloody know better? Beck King and I get stuck into the patterns, fears and stories that keep us repeating the same shit, why the problem isn't always the problem, and what it takes to actually make a change. Beck shares some of her own journey through depression, anxiety and grief, and we talk about why knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things. Because let's be honest, most of us don't need another book, podcast or course telling us what to do (except this one, obviously 😂). We need to figure out why we're not doing the bloody thing in the first place. If you're sick of getting in your own way, this one's for you.

    Stop Waiting to Get Your Sh*t Together | Craig Harper - 1059

    How much of your potential are you leaving on the table because you're waiting for the right time to get your sh*t together? We do we humans cling to comfort, certainty and the familiar, even when they're the very things keeping us stuck? Harps and I bang on in this ep about the stories we tell ourselves, the ways we resist the things that could help us grow, and why being willing to suck at something is often the price of actually getting better at it. I share a few recent realisations about myself and my tendency to resist the very help for, insist on doing things my own way, and then discover that the thing I was pushing back against was actually pretty bloody useful. Whoopies. 😂 But here's the thing. Ya don't need to have it all figured out... Ya don't need to feel confident... And ya definitely don't need to wait for the stars to align. Being willing to adapt, do things differently, learn as you go, and take action before you feel completely comfortable is where it's at! And if you're waiting for the perfect time to start, take a look at your watch now... I think it's bloody time!

    Hard Things & Hand Grenades - Scott Douglas - 1058

    Why do we sometimes find it easier to jump off a cliff, swim in massive surf or lift a stupidly heavy weight than have an honest conversation about how we're actually feeling? Well, these are some of the questions Scotty and I get stuck into as we explore the whole hard things conversation, and why the thing that looks courageous on the outside isn't always the thing we're actually scared of. So if you're up for a chat about why we deliberately put ourselves in dangerous situations, how our childhoods shape the way we operate, and why some of us would rather do everything the hard way than ask for a bloody hand... this might be the one for you! Scotty shares some exceptional life tips, including how his fear of looking stupid has sometimes seen him throw a metaphorical hand grenade into a situation rather than admit he doesn't know how to do something. Which, let's be honest, is one way to handle it. Not necessarily the best way, though. There's a bit of ADHD, a few uncomfortable truths, some excellent examples of Scotty being Scotty, and a reminder that doing hard things is pretty bloody useful. But understanding WHY we're doing them is where the rubber really hits the road.

    We Are What We Repeatedly Do | Tiff Cook - 1057

    G'day whippersnappers. No guest this ep. Just you and me, sitting down for a chat about change. I've been having heaps of conversations lately while building Strong AF, and so many of them have brought me back to the same question: if I keep doing what I'm doing now, where does this take me? Because we are what we repeatedly do. Not what we intend to do. Not what we say we value. Not what we did six months ago. I'm getting into stories we tell ourselves, the identities we build, the way we speak to ourselves, and why wanting to change and actually being willing to change are two very different things. I also get into something I've come to believe pretty strongly: your body is the consequence, not the problem. Especially as women and as we get older and our bodies start responding differently to the things we've always done, the answer isn't automatically to eat less and do more. And then I give you something ridiculously simple you can actually do TODAY. Do one thing. Do it first thing in the morning. Do it again tomorrow. Then again. Because change doesn't require you to move mountains on day one. It requires you to start becoming the person you say you want to be Give this one a listen and then go do the bloody thing.

    The Dark Side of Being the Strong One | Vicki Connor - 1056

    Vicki Connor has been through... well, honestly, I'm not sure how to describe it without sounding like I'm making sh*t up. A serious head injury that changed her personality. Type 1 diabetes from the age of seven. Major surgery at 15. Elite sport. Abusive relationships. Severe depression. A complicated pregnancy. A massive postpartum haemorrhage. Early menopause. Cancer. Losing both her parents. And then, just last year, a haemorrhagic stroke that left her having to learn to walk and talk again. And yet, the thing that has probably shaped her most isn't any one of those things. It's the identity she built around being 'strong'. Vicki talks about how being the strong one became something she was praised for from a very young age. She became the person who could handle anything, push through anything and never need anyone. And for a long time, that looked like resilience. Until it didn't. Because when being strong becomes who you are, asking for help starts to feel like failure. This is such a bloody good conversation about resilience, identity, recovery, trauma, asking for help and what happens when the thing that got you through life starts getting in the way of actually living it.   SPONSORED BY TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: www.testartfamilylawyers.com.au  VICKI CONNOR Website: linkedin.com/in/vicki-connor TIFFANEE COOK Linktree:  linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches Website: tiffcook.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
