In this solo episode I unpack the real reason I meditate, and how it’s transformed the way my nervous system responds to stress and the way I show up in everyday life.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week’s conversation is a powerful reminder that success isn’t just about what happens on the field — it’s about how we navigate the challenges off it.

Brayden Ainsworth burst onto the AFL scene with the West Coast Eagles, chasing a childhood dream and experiencing the highs of professional sport. But behind the scenes, he was battling something few people knew — an eating disorder that was slowly taking its toll on his body and mind.

In this raw and vulnerable chat, Brayden opens up about:

• The reality of life as a professional AFL player
• His personal struggle with an eating disorder and the path to recovery
• Finding purpose beyond sport through his work with The Happiness Co. as a mental health educator
• Why vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness
• How he’s now helping others prioritise their mental wellbeing

This episode is deep, honest, and inspiring — a conversation that shines a light on the courage it takes to ask for help, the resilience to rebuild, and the joy of finding a new purpose.

If you’ve ever faced your own mental health challenges or know someone who has, Brayden’s story will leave you feeling hopeful and connected.

This episode is all about what responsibility means to me. I share my personal definition, how it’s shaped my life and career, and the role it plays in how I show up for myself and others. From my surfing days to founding The Good Human Factory, responsibility has been a guiding force—and I dive into how you can embrace it in your own journey too.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tyler Panzner for the second time! He is a PhD scientist, personal health optimisation coach, and expert in genetic and DNA testing. This conversation will blow your mind if you're interested in taking your health into your own hands.

Dr. Panzner breaks down the science of how our genes influence everything from the way we metabolise food, to our mental health, stress resilience, sleep quality, and even how we respond to supplements. But don’t worry—this episode isn’t just for science nerds. Tyler makes the world of personalised health feel empowering and accessible.

We talk about:

• The basics of gene and DNA testing (and why it’s becoming so popular)
• How personalised health data can help you make smarter lifestyle choices
• Common gene variants that affect mood, sleep, energy, and focus
• Why "bio-individuality" matters more than ever in wellness
• What to look for in a quality DNA test
• The link between genetics, mental health, and daily habits

This is the kind of information I wish we all learned in school—because when you understand your body at a deeper level, you can work with it instead of against it.

Whether you're an athlete, a wellness nerd, or someone who just wants to feel better—this conversation is full of insights that could change the way you think about health.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to unlock your DNA to unlock your potential.

Lachie Henderson played over 200 games of AFL across a 14-year career with Brisbane, Carlton, and Geelong. Picked up at #8 in the 2007 draft, Lachie made a name for himself as a reliable key-position player—kicking goals, holding down defensive roles, and consistently showing up in finals footy.

But this episode isn’t just about what happened on the field.

Since retiring in 2021, Lachie’s stepped into a completely new world—co-founding a luxury diamond business, Chadwick Hill, with his wife, Rebecca. From elite sport to entrepreneurship, this chat is a deep dive into identity, resilience, reinvention, and backing yourself in unknown territory.

We talk about:

• Growing up and chasing the AFL dream
• The emotional highs and lows of professional sport
• Navigating trades, injury, and retirement
• Starting a diamond business with his wife and what he's learned
• The importance of values, teamwork, and mindset in life after sport

This is a refreshing and honest convo about letting go of one chapter and embracing the next with purpose.

Makua Rothman’s story is as powerful as the waves he’s conquered.

In this raw and inspiring episode, I sit down with the 2015 Big Wave World Champion to talk about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. From a turbulent upbringing in Hawaii – including his father’s time in prison – to finding purpose in the ocean, Makua opens up about how surfing gave him direction, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

We dive deep into his battle with addiction and the inner work that helped him break free. Now a devoted father, Makua shares how becoming a parent shifted his perspective, helping him become more self-aware, grounded, and grateful.

From world titles to world tours, his passion has flowed from surfing into music – including a collaboration with Wiz Khalifa – as he uses his voice to uplift others and share his story.

We talk about:

• Growing up in Hawaii and his father’s time in prison
• Finding a lifeline in surfing and becoming Big Wave World Champ
• Overcoming addiction and the journey to healing
• Fatherhood, self-awareness, and emotional growth
• Transitioning into a music career and sharing powerful stories through song
• Staying connected to culture, community, and purpose

Makua’s story is about resilience, rebirth, and riding life’s waves with heart. An unforgettable conversation.
