If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ve got this” while silently drowning, this episode is for you.

Steve spent 16 years in the FIFO life. Big money. Big weekends. And an even bigger mask. He was stuck in the rinse and repeat cycle. Drink hard, blow off steam, then grit through the dread of going back to work. Sound familiar?

In this honest convo, Steve opens up about the moment everything cracked. What started as just trying to keep up with the boys turned into panic attacks, burnout, and eventually a full breakdown. But that breaking point became his breakthrough.

How breathwork helped him reconnect to himself and how he’s now helping other FIFO workers drop the armour and deal with the real stuff. Grief, anger, shame, pressure, performance. 

Whether you’re a FIFO worker, a manager, or a mate watching someone spiral, you’ll want to hear this.
