Hey my guys! A great episode today. Tayla Williams joins me to talk all things netball and endo. Tayla is a player for the Adelaide Thunderbirds, a professional netball team. We talk all about how Tayla became an elite sportsperson, how she juggled school/uni with this career and the importance of fuelling your body for exercise. We also chat at length about her ongoing struggles with endo and how important it is to talk about it openly, particularly when it comes to women's sport. I bloody loved this one. Hope you do too!

A special Sunday episode! Today is Father's Day. I thought it would be fitting to drag my Dad, Andrew, into the studio to have a chat about his views on mental health, how he stays mentally healthy and about a whole BUNCH of other stuff. Dad and I speak about the separation between him and my mum (and how this impacted him), how a month-long stint in Juvenile detention at 15 changed his perspective and about the regrets he has had in life. Dad gives some solid advice. He's one of the best people I know. Hope you all get something out of this one! Love yas.

Teaaaam! Big one today. I have got the most inspirational and motivational person walking planet earth on here to talk all about living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). You'll know what I mean by all of this after you listen.
Brad is a keynote speaker, podcast host and all round bloody legend. He joined me today to talk about cystic fibrosis, a disorder that affects the lungs, digestive tract and other organs. We talk about what CF is, the treatment and maintenance on health Brad goes through everyday and, most importantly, how he does not stop any of this from allowing him to live a full and happy life. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Meg is back!!! An OG HYH interviewee back for a studio record! This was a very fun one. We laugh, talk about some serious stuff and laugh again. Meg chats about her career and the insane progression she has made in 2 short years (and the imposter syndrome that came with it all), relationships she is grateful for and the benefits of a 4am wakeup. 
I hope you love this slightly unhinged one team! Thanks for the support as per usual.
