Professional athlete and nutritionist, Teigan O'Shannassy is a cereal expert and ex-perfectionist with a very full plate - who also has a 90 year old housemate.

In this episode, host Liz Ellis, former netball champion turned busy mum, sits down with the NSW Swifts defender to talk about life at "game on" pace. Balancing elite sport with the mental load of her business, Tossed Together, Teigan discusses the reality of living in a multi-generational household where the biggest daily challenge is often negotiating dinner time with her Nanny. They explore how she manages an overflowing plate while refusing to live by a rigid meal plan, moving instead toward a flexible, soul-nourishing approach to food.

You’ll hear practical survival strategies from a professional athlete, from Teigan’s "cereal sommelier" midnight snacks to her reliance on frozen vegetables when the mental load of cooking feels too heavy. Reflecting on her journey through eating disorder recovery, Teigan shares how she moved from viewing food as a source of stress to a tool for connection. It’s an honest look at staying nourished under pressure, featuring everything from the glory of chili honey on eggs to the essential art of the sunset mental reset.

In this episode, Liz Ellis sits down with author, athlete, coach and entrepreneur Turia Pitt. Known across Australia as a beacon of fierce resilience, Turia reveals a candid, hilariously unfiltered side of herself as she opens up about the chaotic reality of parenting two young boys while running a business.

She shares how she had to unlearn her hyper-competitive athlete mindset to survive the daily grind, diving into a period of severe burnout that led her to seek therapy and discover the magic of asking herself, "What's going to make this day a little bit easier?"

The conversation also explores her heritage, reflecting on growing up with a Tahitian mother whose home-cooked fish, rice, and lentils were decades ahead of the trend, alongside a raw look back at her Ironman days when toxic societal pressures forced her to under-fuel her body.

From raw-dogging chia seeds to her controversial morning "badass coffee" routine, this chat is a funny, reassuring look at learning to let yourself off the hook.

Watch Turia & Liz teach you how to make their (very funny) fave coffees here.
