Amanda Allen Whispers with Women

Pain - the journey of my life time, a conversation about the many faces of pain - relational pain, nutritional pain, pain of disappointment, the pain of grief, the pain of trauma and abuse, the pain of set backs, the pain of betrayal, the pain of training, the pain of injury, the pain of competition… so many faces, so many perspectives. I hope you find this podcast empowering and profoundly inspiring in relation to whatever pain you are experiencing currently. I hope this podcast recalibrates the pain you've known in your past and gives you the strength to endure pain in a positive manner in a way you've possibly never related to it before!

Eva Thornton is an extraordinary woman and warrior! She is an example of resilience and athleticism as a way of life! A high level gymnast in her youth, a pole vaulter, sprint kayaker and lastly a CrossFit Games Masters athlete, competing at 3 CF Games, winning the 50-54division in 2018, she has had a number of significant challenges to her health over the past few years: holding her back from repeat appearances at the CF Games: Eva had back surgery in 2019 after being diagnosed with Tuberculosis in the spine at the end of 2018. Unfortunately the treatment she was put on initially wasn't as effective as it needed to be and she ended up with complications. There were also major complications during surgery (ruptured aorta resulting in significant blood loss etc). It was a big mess trying to come back. Eva ended up with a 5-level fusion in her T-spine and a big stent in the aorta. In 2021 she had the fusion (metal work) removed. Then more recently she had a herniated disc in her neck which caused problems with the exiting nerve at C6/7 leading to weakness in the right arm. She had a disc replacement surgery just over 5 weeks ago. Things are improving…this conversation will lift your spirits and offer you strength, courage and wisdom no matter what challenges you are facing!

Her scars were not her flaws, They were her story reminding her forever of the long journey that had made her exactly who she was! At 18 months old Sam was diagnosed with a cancerous spinal cord tumour. An extraordinary adaptive athlete, a remarkable woman & humbling life story! Sam inspired me by her athleticism, determination, courage and joy at the Torian Pro in 2024! She brought me to tears as I cheered her on, willing her to handstand walk! She has just qualified for her first CrossFit Games (2024), Sam shares her remarkable and humble life journey…a story of courage, overcoming multiple surgeries, living with pain, enduring bullying at school, finding CrossFit and the mental, physical and emotional journey that brought her to this point in her life! CrossFit became not only an outlet but a passion, where she pushed boundaries and proved that strength isn't just about muscles—it's about grit and determination. Adapting, fighting, thriving—that's Sam's AMRAP. Limitations? Nah, those are just like no reps—annoying but conquerable. Sam has learned to adapt, proving that limitations are only in the mind (and sometimes her leg, but who's tallying the reps?). “I want other people with adaptations, and all the little Sammys out there, to see that they can RX life too—they can be part of something incredible.” SUPPORT SAM: Sam's Go Fund Me page can be found here: https://gofund.me/940e50d2.

Detoxification is quite likely the single most significant factor in reclaiming health and healing on planet earth today. Over 100,000 man made toxins, pollutants, chemical and heavy metals exist in our atmosphere today, we breathe them in, absorb then through our skin, consume them in every drink, food and substance that passes our lips. They are arguably the root cause of every disease experienced by humans today. From Autism to arthritis, mental health issues, autoimmune disorders, cancers, gut issues, chronic pain, birth defects, dementia, alzheimers, skin conditions, obesity, hormonal imbalances, IBS, inability to lose weight…the list goes on and on! What are the sources of toxicity? What can you do limit exposure? How can you support detoxification pathways? How can you detox safely? How do you create and live a detoxifying and alkalising life of health and radiance, easily?! We discuss the importance of using binders, alkalising, sweating, exercise, hydration, liver health, fibre, skin health, mitochondrial health, reducing inflammation…we look at the sources of toxicity including vaccines, mercury fillings, chemtrails, teflon, pesticides, aerosols, vehicle exhaust, fluoridated water…the list is endless…but as truly dire our global toxicity situation is, equally we are in a position to make choices to create the most extraordinarily robust, powerful, optimal, radiant and resilient health we have ever known!

From my heart to yours.

It is a deep, raw and honest telling of the difficulty of the walk to wellness, but also of the hope and promises of the journey out of depression into a full and blessed life. I reflect on the practices, protocols and strategies I have researched and employed over the past 40+ years to save myself from the black dog.

She went on to qualify for the Games as an individual for the next two years, taking her best finish of seventh in 2011. Brost has qualified for the Games as a master every year since 2013 (though an achilles injury at the 2013 North West Regional and a 2018 post Qualifier shoulder injury forced her to withdraw, hip surgery in 2021 kept her out from competing in 2021). Brost finished the 2016 and 2017 season with a career-best finish of first place in the 45-49 Division (she also won the Open and the Masters Qualifier that year). Find Cheryl on IG: cherylbrost.

This is a fascinating, powerful and inspiring podcast - as a canary in the coal mine, I personally found this information extremely reassuring and highly educational! What REALLY causes mold and what to do about it, learn about the horrifying number of health issues linked to common household items and building materials, the scary truth about the EMF radiation coming from your cell phone, what every parent MUST know before buying a baby monitor, what wifi is *really* doing to your body, how to design and build your home to ensure it's as healthy and allergy-free as possible, what to do when there's a mold outbreak and how to ensure that your bathroom and kitchen aren't secretly hurting your health. There are LOADS of simple, doable, inexpensive things you can do to identify and fix toxic problems in your home — as well as to prevent them from taking hold in the first place.

A humbling a powerful story, I am awed by Dai Le's resilience and achievements and grateful to her for sharing her wisdom and strength here. A few technical errors along the way do not detract from Dai Le's story! As a young girl growing up in Saigon, I would never have imagined my life looking like it does today. Following our escape from Vietnam in 1975, my family and I spent years in refugee camps before finally settling in Australia in 1979. We settled in Wollongong and later to Cabramatta where I completed my HSC and graduated from Macquarie University, with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Soon after, in 1991, I accepted a role as a cadet journalist at The Liverpool Champion and later helped establish the Fairfield City Champion office. It was in Fairfield where I crafted my skills as a journalist, and later on, a filmmaker and broadcaster. I continued to pursue my love of producing stories with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation over the next two decades. Then in 2008, I did what many friends described as ‘madness', and stepped into the political arena. I had no connections in politics, I had no contacts, I had no network. All I had was the burning desire to make a difference, and to be the voice of a community that I believed has been neglected and marginalised.

We touch on the underreporting of abuses and violence against women and children, about the shortage of refuges, and the lack of government funding. Domestic violence has increased by 75% since COVID, a reported 40 women have been killed in Australia, in 2020 alone, after leaving violent relationships We talk about the impact on children, their mental development, and the long term impacts on education, relationships, drugs and alcohol abuse, mental and physical health. It's a fascinating and necessary conversation. I found it powerful, and quite confronting given my own experiences, which I discuss to help give context. Should you find yourself wondering if you are also in an abusive relationship this conversation may help you find some grounding in this shape-shifting domain of violence and abuse. I am so grateful for Alison. She holds this very difficult and strong conversation with a gentle equanimity. If you have suffered please know that you are not alone. You can reclaim yourself one day at a time. Through education, support, and a whole lot of self love. It takes time. Healing is available, it is a precious and winding journey. Please enjoy this conversation.

She volunteers for the CFS and lives on the land in glorious Kangarilla in South Australia. She is a wife, mother, grandmother, adventurer, and true earth spirit who rode from K to K, or Kangarilla to Katmandu on her fat bike with her husband of 35 years. Her tales of biking across the Nullarbor Thailand, India and more are extraordinary uplifting and reassuring, as are her love of nature and devotion to the earth. Her spirit of wonderment and her journey to self discovery will transport you from your normal life and catapult you into a desire to get a bike and go on a spontaneous adventure, far from the madding crowd.

What an honour and a privilege to share a truly remarkable conversation with this humble and powerful woman Kim McKeon. Mother, sister, daughter, athlete, friend. Kim shares tales of an early gypsy life growing up in caravans and cars across Australia, she speaks of forging life as a champion swimmer and Triathlete. Kim was a pioneer in the world of women's professional sport, despite auto immune disease, a plethora of health challenges, a lack of self belief and the absence of stability and opportunity in early life. Kim carved her world with a quiet self-forged determination and focus. Abducted by a known paedophile at age seven, dying on the operating table at 32, tales of winning the Australian 16 km open water marathon championships and swimming the 10 km in a shark cage from magnetic island to Townsville. Kim shares insights into out of body experiences, the protection of guardian angels, life after death, her passion for the water, losing herself as a wife, the importance of mental health and positivity, and the power of choice and focus in navigating anything life throws at you.

PAIN, PASSION PURPOSE. Date nights in lockdown, anorexia, exercise disorder, suicide, IVF, hip replacements and tipsy time! Katie is a writer, mother of three, wife and part bionic woman working to find a way to balance her various roles while living with purpose, passion and always plenty of humour. She is the mouth behind Clean Eats From a Filthy Mouth, which initially began as a way to share healthy food ideas and have some tongue in cheek fun and has now grown to a wonderful community of supportive, fun loving humans. A dream Katie is incredibly proud to have made a reality. She has navigated a rollercoaster of experiences that have taught her that life can be brutal and beautiful, and often those things are inextricably intertwined. We need to find a way for them to coexist, to find light in the darkness and to grow and learn from the challenges and pain that we have to face. Katie developed an eating disorder as a teen and that lasted into her twenties and later developed into an excessive exercise disorder. Although she healed from it, she also know it will always be a part of her psyche to some extent. The physical punishment she put her body through led to fertility issues in her 30s when she had to process the fact her body was failing at it's most basic physiological purpose. She says she was very lucky to have two beautiful children through IVF. Katie became part bionic with total hip replacements 38 and 40 years of age. As someone who had for so long constructed an image based on physical strength, fitness and capability this was a massive blow to her self esteem and identity. She was forced to confront past demons and redefine herself, given a chance to heal, her body was finally allowed a chance to function properly, she regained fertility and had a wonderful surprise baby as a result.
