    Ep243: PTSD, Breaking The Cycle, and Learning to Say You're Welcome

    Billy Mac is back! Last time we talked trauma, footy, and what it's really like to carry PTSD for decades. This time we get into what happens to the people around you when you're living with it. Warning: There's a story early on about a baby seat he found in a car accident. It's really heavy (we don't go into details - but and can easily skip past that bit), but it stayed with Billy for 15 years before he even realised how much it had affected him. There's also a mate who medically discharged after the same call — and a really stark conversation Billy had with his son years later in a therapist's office that changed everything. Billy's wife Kathy now facilitates spouse retreats for the Fire Brigade — something that didn't exist until Billy pushed for it. That part of the conversation is where he properly breaks. In the best way. This one's raw, funny, and real. Just like Billy. If you enjoy this one, please leave a comment - and I'd love it if you'd hit the FOLLOW button!

    Ep242: Six String Brewing - The Hobby That Got Out Of Hand

    When your homebrew hobby wins competitions, you might think: I could do this for a living! Well... Chris thought that. What followed was 13 years of growth, a stunning new venue, and then a twist they just didn't see coming. Today, I'm sitting down with Chris and Sharon, the owners of Six String Brewing Co, to talk about what happens when demand suddenly disappears, when costs triple during a build, and when you end up having external administrators managing your finances while you're still trying to run the place day-to-day. We dig into what "administration" actually means, why the brewing industry is hurting right now, and what genuine community support looks like when things get hard.

    Ep241: ADHD, Anxiety, and the Things Nobody Tells You

    Last year, I got diagnosed with ADHD, and it explains literally everything. If you liked last week's episode with my guest Kylie (KK), you'll enjoy this one. We started chatting about my diagnosis. It turns out I've spent my entire life running on ADHD energy without knowing it. The psychiatrist told me I've essentially forged an entire career out of it. Which, when you think about it, is 100% correct. We dig into what that actually looks like: the anxiety that comes with it, the side effects of the medication, the time management stuff that drives people nuts, and all the random things I didn't realise were ADHD things until I started learning about it. (Like how I used to think I had a gluten intolerance for 10 years, only to realise it might've been anxiety the whole time.) There's also a chat about hyper-focusing, the constant creative ideas, finishing nothing, beating yourself up about it, and trying to explain all of this to people who just don't get it! And we end up talking about people like Cosi from South Aussie with Cosi, someone who's clearly got that same kind of energy and has built something incredible because of it, not despite it.

    Ep240: Kylie's 10 Years of Impossible Things

    In this sprawling, hilarious, and surprisingly moving conversation, I catch up with a long-time mate from Adelaide radio days who (in her new job) has learned to castrate goats, keep bees, run three massive fundraising gala balls, and personally escort a fugitive through Cambodia - all while never missing a single sports day for her kids. The story is awesome. 10 years ago, our mate Cosi started a TV show from the dining room table in his house. That show became South Aussie with Cosi – and it's now in Season 15 on Channel 7 with a team of 11. Along the way, KK learned about bull semen, giant Santas, paperwork you can't imagine, and the kind of teamwork that makes impossible things happen. We also chat about how a single Cambodian cow lead to the most important thing she's ever helped create – a charity that's since gifted over 150 cows and built a world-class cattle facility in the middle of nowhere. This episode is all about saying yes without knowing the answer, burning the boats, handpicking good people, and the absolute chaos of building something from nothing!

    Ep239: The Central Coast Teacher Who Takes Year 9 Students to Build Houses in Cambodia

    What happens when a Canadian psychologist becomes a high school teacher on the Central Coast and decides her Year 9 students need to see the world? That's Brenda's story, and it's the kind of thing that makes you wonder why more people aren't doing this. (I reckon you'll love this episode!) Brenda's been organising community give-back trips for her students – building houses with Habitat for Humanity in Cambodia, immersing Year 9s in First Nations culture on homeland in Cape York, and connecting kids with experiences that literally change who they are. We're talking about 24 students, 5 teachers, raising over $50,000 in 9 months, and doing all the fundraising themselves. And here's the thing: the kids who showed up weren't always the 'model students.' Some had behaviour stuff to work out. But when they got there? They totally stepped up. The stories Brenda shares – kids without passports getting on a plane for the first time, not a single one asking for their phone back while on homeland, watching a shy student lead an entire group - they're the kind of moments that remind you what education could actually be about.

    Ep238: Julie Goodwin And The Donut King Incident

    Julie Goodwin walked into Donut King, ordered a coffee and two cinnamon donuts, and was immediately offended. This story is soooo funny! In today's episode, we get into blood tests, sleep deprivation, and the utter chaos of watching a five-year-old play soccer - while totally distracted by something way more interesting... Julie also shares something genuinely useful about how she tests her recipes, and what happens when you put something you've built in front of someone who has no idea what they're looking at. Oh, and Smiley the Clown makes an appearance. If you enjoy this one, please leave a comment - and I'd love it if you'd hit the FOLLOW button!

    Ep237: Tiana and the Senior Assassins of the Central Coast!

    What do a teenager with swimming goggles, a half-eaten Nutella cruffin, and a 20yr old x-ray result all have in common? They all turned up in one conversation with my daughter Tiana, and every single one of them broke my brain a little. Have you seen any kids wandering around shopping centres with swimming goggles around their necks? We can explain it! We also talk about a kinda secret (and awesome) thing that Baker's Delight do, doll hospitals, TLDR, WYSIWYG, and how I've somehow spent my entire life not questioning something that's actually very obviously wrong with my body! Today's episode has lots of laughs and a bunch of things you may have never known about! 🧐 If you enjoy it, please leave a comment - and I'd love it if you'd hit the FOLLOW button!

    Ep236: Fainting, Fatigue and Finding Limits with Kyla

    This one starts with a warning… and a story that sounds like it belongs in a crime scene, not a bathroom. Kyla from Cakes By Kyla jumps back into the van, and within minutes we’re talking about the recent moment she blacked out, hit the floor, and woke up surrounded by blood with no idea how she got there. It’s hectic, a bit scary, and somehow still very Kyla. But underneath that story is something a lot of us will recognise… running flat out for so long that your body eventually steps in and says, “that’ll do.” We get into the way both of us operate at that constant 8 or 9 out of 10, why quiet weeks somehow get less done than chaotic ones, and the weird ways stress shows up when you ignore it for too long. There’s ADHD chats, sleep struggles, late night brain spirals, meditation attempts, and the realisation that maybe… just maybe… rest isn’t optional. It’s one of those conversations that’s equal parts funny, gross, honest, and a little bit confronting... in the best way!
