That’s a wrap on Season 2 of the Let’s Check In Podcast, and honestly, I’ve been pretty blown away by the response.

And wow… we made it into the top 25% of podcasts globally in our category.

To everyone who tuned in, shared an episode, or left a review, thank you. It tells me these conversations matter.

Uncertainty is the defining mental health challenge of our time. By normalising it, we find new ways to stay steady when life changes shape.

Thank you to our insightful, generous guests prepared to share their wisdom.

We’ll be back early 2026 with new voices, fresh stories, and bigger ideas.

Parenting can be one of life’s greatest joys, but, what happens when sleepless nights, toddlers with big feelings, and the pressures of work all collide at once?

For over a decade, Lachy Gillespie has worn the Purple Skivvy, entertaining children across the globe as part of The Wiggles. Offstage, he’s navigating life as a husband, Dad to twin girls, and stepdad, balancing the beautiful chaos of family life with the relentless demands of touring and performing.

In this episode, we explore:

• The three parenting principles that guide Lachy and Dana at home
• What it takes to juggle global performance with being a present Dad
• Navigating uncertainty - from neonatal care to toddlerhood
• Why music and bedtime rituals matter in building resilience
• How parenting podcasts (and honest conversations) help him learn and grow
• The challenges that have tested him most and what he’s discovering about himself along the way

This isn’t just about life as a Wiggle, it’s about the universal messiness of parenting, being in the present and how resilience is built one small, imperfect moment at a time.

S2, Ep 14 Healing Minds: How Our Past Shapes Us and How Therapy Can Help

Our brains are built for connection — but what happens when trauma, uncertainty, and unrealistic expectations get in the way?

In S2, Ep 14, I speak with Helen Nistico, a seasoned clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience in both public psychiatry and private practice. Helen specializes in complex mental health issues and personality disorders and was instrumental in establishing the HYPE clinic at Orygen Youth Health, as well as bringing Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) to Australia. She has particular expertise in treating adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder and a deep interest in complex trauma.

In this episode, we explore:

• The neuroscience of social and emotional engagement
• Insights on Borderline Personality Disorder + Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)
• How uncertainty, family stories, and generational trauma can shape us
• Why relationships are central to making sense of the world
• The lifelong journey of building healthier ways of being

This isn’t just theory — it’s about real tools, real stories, and finding answers together.
