Podvan Podcast with Rabbit

Natalie King is a Clinical Psychologist who has spent the last decade specialising exclusively in couples therapy, and she joins me to pull apart why we react the way we do when things get heated.We explore the "Pursuer-Withdrawal" dynamic (when one person needs to talk it out right now while the other needs to walk away) and how our childhood "stuff" is usually the invisible hand at play. Natalie explains why fighting about the bins is rarely about the bins, why money is such a universal trigger, and the radical power of simply recognising what your partner is doing right.Stick around for the end where Natalie shares her number one tip for prioritising your relationship as a living, breathing thing that needs constant tending.You'll walk away with a much better understanding of your partner (and yourself) after this!Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Tam and Kathy have a couple of cracking stories about those mortifying moments when your kids repeat something they definitely shouldn't have. We hear about a three year old who learned the entire, very adult vocabulary of a certain song, and a little boy who chose the worst moment at a checkout to quote a movie line to a stranger! It is a hilarious reminder that little ears are always listening, and no matter how much you apologise, some stories can stay with you for 30 years! 😂If you enjoyed this Quick Fix and want to hear more, just look up the full episode that has the same number as this one (Ep 82) and you can hear the whole thing!(Has your kid ever embarrassed you in public like this?

We first met Mel Bean a few weeks back during our side hustle chat, but I knew the second we started talking that she had a much bigger story to tell. Today, Mel shares her incredible journey through a Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis and why she made the brave, personal choice to follow her intuition when it came to her treatment.Mel is the founder of In Harmony Qigong on the Central Coast, and she explains how this ancient practice helped her reclaim her body and her peace after major surgery. We talk about the "medicine in the slow," why our modern brains are struggling to keep up with our lives, and the science behind that stress score on your smartwatch.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or like you’re constantly operating at a Level 10, this conversation is exactly what you need. Mel even takes us through a breathing exercise at the end.You'll feel great after this!You can find Mel here: In Harmony QigongWanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Julie drops by the Podvan to talk up the joys of op shopping and why her whole family keeps bumping into each other at Vinnies (including some very questionable smelling coats - which is VERY funny!) Plus, I share the brilliant story of how T-Pain pulled off the ultimate 30th birthday surprise for Meghan Trainor, and Jessica joins us to explain how her dad became a master of misdirection by hacking into bank accounts and landing helicopters in the backyard just to keep a secret.If you enjoy this Quick Fix and want to hear more, just look up the full episode that has the same number as this one (Ep 78) and you can hear the whole thing!And I'd love it if you could take a second to rate the show or leave a comment! 🤗Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

This is one of my favourite episodes ever! Jason Van Genderen is a world-class storyteller who started a revolution when he ended up on the big stage in New York City - winning one of the world's most prestigious short film festivals with a device most people only used for Snake! Beyond the bright lights of New York, Jason shares incredible stories from his recent trip to Kenya - including why he was hiding in a shipping container to get the perfect shot and the "creature" that kept falling from the ceiling. It’s a masterclass in curiosity, patience, and why the best camera can be the one you already have in your pocket.Check out his incredible shots here: https://www.instagram.com/jasonvangenderen/Oh, and the Found By Laura page we talked about: https://www.instagram.com/foundbylaura/Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

In this Quick Fix episode I catch up with two of our legends from the Podvan community, Tara and Kylie, to hear about the incredible friendships they sparked while holidaying. We get into the story of a 22 year friendship that started on a Sydney jetboat, a solo mission to Rome that resulted in a lifelong travel buddy, and the reason why Kylie actually prefers a rocky cruise ship over a smooth one.If you enjoyed this Quick Fix and want to hear more, just look up the full episode that has the same number as this one (Ep 77) and you can hear the whole thing!(Also, if you’re enjoying these little trips down memory lane, it would be heaps of help if you could leave a rating or a quick review!)Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Natalie and I are getting into the nitty-gritty of why so many couples hit a wall once the kids finally pack their bags... It’s a weird, quiet transition where the three or four-bedroom house suddenly feels way too big and you realise you haven’t actually had a real conversation with the person across the table in years. Natalie King from The READ Clinic joins me in the van to talk about Empty Nester Syndrome and why it often crashes right into the chaos of perimenopause. We talk about the Gottman Method (which sounds fancy but actually started with a couple of maths nerds looking for dates) and the Magic Six Hours that can keep a relationship from becoming just a series of logistically managed chores. Whether you’re right on the cusp of an empty house or you’re a decade away, Natalie explains how to ensure you’re still laughing together in 30 years. Plus, we get into the one specific way to bring up a problem that guarantees you won't end up in a screaming match.If you enjoy the episode, please leave a comment - and I'd love it if you'd hit the FOLLOW button!Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

If you've ever felt like you're walking around with a constant "hot flash" of overwhelm or wondered why your brain is always anticipating a threat, you might want to give this one a listen...This snippet is from the first time I sat down with the legend that is Heather Irvine Rundle from the Reed Clinic for a chat that gets incredibly personal. (I didn't see that coming!)We talk about the invisible weight of anxiety, why a simple neighbourly fire pit used to send me into a total spiral, and the honest reality of using medication to level out the highs and lows. I hope this helps you - or that you can share it with someone you think it might help.Of course, if you enjoyed this Quick Fix and want to hear more, just look up the full episode that has the same number as this one (Ep 72) and you can hear the whole thing!(I would love to hear what you think of these archive moments, so feel free to leave a rating or a comment if you are enjoying the trip down memory lane!)Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

A couple of episodes ago, I started a feature of shining a light on a few Central Coast small businesses to prove that a big idea can come from anywhere (even a reality show about Mormons).Ash from Sandy Rose Designs reveals how she built a global swimwear brand from her bedroom at fifteen while hiding from high school bullies. We talk about the late-night letterbox drops to stay anonymous and the fifteen-thousand-dollar risk that paid off. Then, Kate from Sippin Fizzy joins me to talk about the 'dirty soda' craze she brought to the coast after a cheeky reality TV binge. We get into the reality of market life, the hustle of being a content creator in your forties, and why sometimes you just have to get going and get good later.Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Right after Julie and I came off stage in Narrabri, I got chatting to Malinda, a clinical psychologist who traded the bright lights of London and Sydney to head back to her roots in Narrabri. I asked her if she'd like to join me for an episode about mental health in rural areas, and she said "sure!"We get into the fascinating (and slightly terrifying) way the brain dumps cortisol into the body, causing everything from mysterious rashes to back pain that won't quit.It's a chat about why the "resilient" Aussie attitude is a double-edged sword and why your body might be screaming for help while your brain is telling you to just "suck it up."You can find Malinda at @malindaguest or via https://boundlesspsychology.com/Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

This chat might change the way you look at your bank account !Marcus Kroek has done it all - policeman in Darlinghurst, teacher, and now a high-level business coach who once helped a local company quadruple its profits in just six months. We get into the "Profit First" mentality and why Marcus reckons most small business owners are actually just technicians wearing way too many hats. We also chat about the psychology of being a "bargain hunter," why you should treat your business finances like a 90s milk run pay packet, and the "small plate" theory that stops you from overspending. Marcus is now my Business Coach and I have learned SO MUCH from him over the last year! But what you hear in this Quick Fix episode, is the first time we met!He also has his own podcast now - Business Unlocked and you can hear the full episode by searching for Episode 70 of the Podvan Podcast!Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

I’m sitting in my hotel room in Dubbo after a massive weekend on the road with Jules, reflecting on the day the Podvan became a hub for the coast’s most inspiring side hustlers.First up: Dan, a man who has been a "silent partner" in the show for a year without me ever knowing his name. He’s a garbo by morning and a marketplace hero by afternoon. Then, Mel drops by to explain why my energy levels might be more "giant ball of chaos" than "life force," and McKayla shares the beautiful (and goosebump-inducing) reason she’s taking her scissors out of the salon and into the homes of families who need a completely different approach to a haircut. It’s an episode about people starting things from the heart, over-delivering early, and the dream of turning that "little something on the side" into the main event.Fast Lane DeliveriesIn Harmony QigongSensory HairstylesWanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

And today is Chrissy's birthday! Happy Birthday!We get into the reality of moving to a new town where you don’t know a soul, the "lonely" stage of parenting, and why one member went from a hard "no" to owning three franchises.

Jules and I are rolling down to Sydney for our final tour rehearsal, and things got weird before we even hit the M1.In this episode, we find out about a secret job Julie had back in the 90s that required a very specific set of shoes, and we get into the bizarre official complaints from her radio days (one of them involving a sausage sizzle). We discuss what she got banned from doing on air and the reason she was hauled into the manager's office over a comment about a business that was advertising with us. (And it's a big one! lol😂)Plus, I pitch a new invention involving Velcro and a motor home that I'm pretty sure has legs.Check out our upcoming tour dates here: https://www.juliegoodwin.com.au/tourIf you enjoy the chat, I’d love it if you could leave a review or a rating!

I’ve been trying to track this man down for over twenty years.When I was fifteen, a kind gesture changed the trajectory of my entire life. In this episode, I finally get to make the phone call I’ve been rehearsing in my head for two decades to the man who started it all. I have NEVER spoken to him - until now.We get into the "sliding doors" moments that define a career (including a drummer who left what became an iconic Aussie band), and a health update that honestly left me speechless.I am SO STOKED with how this played out!!! It's a conversation about the ripple effect of kindness and why you should never wait to say thank you.If you enjoy this one, feel free to leave a comment - or maybe rate the podcast if you haven't done so yet?

Is your body trying to tell you something while you're ignoring the signals?I sat down with Maureen from the Cosmic Scavenger Hunt podcast for a chat that started with a crazy "small world" moment involving my hometown in New Zealand and ended up deep in the "spaceship closet." 👀We explore her incredible transition from a 16-year corporate career to leading a soul-led business, and look into why your body rate might be spiking even when you think you're relaxed. Maureen shares the exact tool she used to stop people-pleasing and how she finally learned to trust her own internal compass.
