PodVan

Oh man, if you haven't heard this story - you're in for a treat!! (And it's super short and sweet!)Julie had a great idea: let's bring back our old radio segment, Thankful Thursday! Simple, right? WRONG.What if someone listens on a Saturday? Or starts on a Thursday but finishes on a Monday?! The panic was real, but the jingle I came up with to solve this ridiculous, self-inflicted problem is even better.Remember, if you'd like to hear the whole episode it came from, just search for Episode 47 of The Podvan Podcast!

I had the absolute pleasure of having a last-minute sit-down with the brilliant Jen, who runs the Central Coast 'Walk It Off' ladies group. What started as a chat about mental health quickly went in soooo many incredible and unexpected directions.Jen opens up about how she lost 44 kilos, and the huge mental and emotional journey that comes with it. We also get into her life as a female carpenter, why some men find her independence 'intimidating', and how being raised by an incredible single mum shaped the woman she is today.This is an AWESOME chat! Actually - if you enjoy it, please leave a comment on the episode!

Kofi and Talula jumped in the Podvan about a year ago in Long Jetty, while they were here backpacking around Australia. In this Quick Fix, you'll hear how Kofi dropped out of uni and started a "Solo Travel Vlog" from scratch - to the point where he now has over 100,000 followers on his socials and travels the world for a job!If you enjoy this Quick Fix, you can just scroll back through to episode 49 and you can hear the whole chat!Let's connect! ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

I really hope Julie doesn't read the title of this one... But, I mean - it's actually what's coming up in this episode!!We talk about some of the things I brought back from Thailand (including a strange rash

About a year ago, I rolled up to the Triple M carpark in Gosford to have a chat with Maz (one half the brekky team there) - and then the other half of the show barged in...

For my 200th episode, I wanted to introduce my Podvan family... to my actual family! It's my Mum and Dad!So, in this one, we talk about the time I was at my absolute lowest, and they drove 10 hours from Melbourne for a surprise hug I didn't even know I needed. We also finally get the story about why I went to a psychiatrist when I was three years old (what?!), and we find out what they really thought about this "Podcast from inside a caravan" idea when they first heard it. Mum's response is HILARIOUS!!! And to you, if you're reading this, thank you.

"If you hadn't done what you did... would you be alive right now?" "No."That's how the chat started with the incredible Jon and Nicky, and their story only gets more unbelievable from there. It's a journey that spans decades, through multiple cancer diagnoses, unbelievable heartbreak, and a mental health crisis that brought Nicky to a breaking point where she was ready to end it all.We also talk about the crazy parallels between Jon losing his job and my own story of being let go from radio, and the simple (but controversial) lifestyle change they made that left Nicky's doctor absolutely stunned, uttering words she had never heard in her entire life: "It's gone."This is my longest ever episode. Hope you've got some time cleared in the schedule! I LOVED this chat - and I know you will too!If you do enjoy it - please share it around with your friends and loved ones. I'd love for this story to hit the number of people it deserves to!

"You didn't know they didn't have a gun. You didn't know what they were capable of."I had psychologist Heather Irvine-Rundell from The READ Clinic back in the van, and I decided to share a story that messed me up for years. It involved my five-year-old son and a hooded figure trying to break in at 1am. Fun times.Heather so brilliantly explains what actually happens in our brain during a moment of terror, why you freeze or why you fight - and why you have absolutely no choice in the matter!We also chat about the unique trauma faced by first responders, the story of the time a police detective told her she'd "lost", and the critical difference between PTSD and Complex PTSD. ***A heads up, this one gets into some heavy topics, so please take care while listening.If you've ever been shaken by an event and wondered why it affected you so much -and for so long, this episode could help you figure it out.Huge thanks to our Patreon Subscribers!Get bonus episodes and more for $10 a month at http://podvan.com.au/membersLet's connect! ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

I had the absolute honour of sitting down with Adrian Date, a man who spent nearly 20 years as an intensive care paramedic. I've always wanted to chat with an ambo, and this chat went to places I never expected!Adrian tells me about the time he drove straight into a brawl between two bikie gangs, shares a deeply personal story behind his tattoo, and we talk about the heartbreaking privilege of being with someone in their final moments.I LOVED this chat - and I hope you do too!Huge thanks to our Patreon Subscribers!Get bonus episodes and more for $10 a month at http://podvan.com.au/membersLet's connect! ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Well this episode is a little different!After a reel I made about the NDIS went completely bonkers online, I got quite curious about the whole thing. The universe then delivered Imbi and Darren, old family friends I hadn't seen in 20 years since our kids were in mother's group together.It turns out they're NDIS Plan Managers (a job I didn't even know existed), but the biggest lesson I learned is that their job title is completely wrong! We talk about the real fee they get paid per client, how providers can rort the system, and why they get so much joy from a job that seems like an absolute nightmare of confusion and spreadsheets.If you're in the web of the NDIS yourself, or you're a sponge for learning (like me), you'll love this.Oh, and if you want to get in touch with Imbi and Darren, you can find their fancy new website here: Pure Plan ManagementAnd their instagram here: @pureplanmanagementHuge thanks to our Patreon Subscribers!Get bonus episodes and more for $10 a month at http://podvan.com.au/membersLet's connect! ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

"He lies Rabs, all the gear and no idea."Well, it seems Jules and I have sorted out what's going on my tombstone. So that's one thing ticked off the list.This was one of those classic Podvan chats that went everywhere and nowhere all at once. We talked about the weird and wonderful world of online comment sections, whether our phones are actually reading our minds, and the new TV show that has Julie thinking about wrapping people in tarps (I'm watching my back).If you love a chat that feels like you're eavesdropping on two mates having a laugh, you'll love this.Huge thanks to our Patreon Subscribers!Get bonus episodes and more for $10 a month at http://podvan.com.au/membersLet's connect! ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Ever wondered why you are the way you are? And why you do things the way you do?In another awesome chat with Clinical Psychologist Heather Irvine-Rundle from The Read Clinic, we talk about how childhood experiences, including trauma and adverse events, can shape the adults we become and, most importantly, what can be done about it.Heather takes us through how the brain develops in those crucial first four years, why it's not what happens to you but the meaning you make of it that matters, and how healing is possible at any stage of life.

I recorded this chat with Rosie at Words on the Waves, where she was promoting her new book Broken Brains, co-written with Jamila Rizvi.

This Quick Fix is pure chaos in the best way: we're parked up at the beach, the dogs are everywhere, there's suspicious Labrador mischief, we test out bone-conduction headphones (through our actual bones, obviously), and then spiral into a very scientific debate about bears, men, and Hemsworths. No plan- and a stack of laughs!!! If this doesn't put a smile on your face - go see your doctor!

WARNING: This episode contains talk around car crashes, fatalities, PTSD, and suicide. It's a great chat - and we have a lot of laughs amongst it, but it's real and it's raw - and if you're not in the right headspace to listen right now, you might want to give this one a skip.I've always wanted to get a firefighter on the podcast!  And then I met Billy Mac. He has lived through a lot! Ex-firefighter, ex-army, and now living with PTSD, CTE and a late ADHD diagnosis that kinda makes sense of the chaos he has carried for years. (I can relate!)In this episode, he shares the breakdowns that nearly ended him, the wife who saved him, the young blokes on the rugby field who keep him grounded, and why telling his story might just save someone else's life too.Feel free to drop a comment below.

I thought I was going to chat with Donna about her art therapy work with kids. But from the moment we jumped on the phone, I realised there was a lot more to this story.It has a lot to do with her kids.
