In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author, speaker, and former AFL player Andrew Jobling for an energising, vulnerable, and often hilarious conversation about what it really takes to live a life of joyful longevity.

We explore how self-worth isn’t something you earn—it’s something you remember. Andrew shares lessons from his journey as an “unlikely athlete” and “accidental author,” and explains why so many people stay stuck waiting for permission to live with purpose.

Together, we unpack:

How to build a resilient mindset (without toxic positivity)

The link between self-worth and sustainable wellbeing

What keeps people stuck—and how to move through it

Why discipline matters more than motivation

How to live a meaningful, long, and joyful life—on your own terms

In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern life: resilience. Is it about being unbreakable, stoic, and hard as nails—or is that just what social media tells us?

Our guest draws from decades of experience across psychology, community health, and academia to challenge the "brick wall" definition of resilience. Instead, we explore it as a dynamic capability—something shaped by adaptability, awareness, genetics, and environment.

From Darwinian biology and epigenetics to the pressures of growing up in a post-social media world, this conversation dives deep into:

Why young people face a different kind of resilience challenge today

How true resilience is more about bending than breaking

The origins of the term ‘resilience’ and how it's been misused

What makes individuals, families, and even businesses more resilient

Why your environment might switch genes on or off—and what that means for your mental health

Whether you're a parent, coach, teacher, or someone navigating a tough season, this episode offers a grounded, empowering take on what it really means to be resilient in 2025.

Hormone symptoms are common, but they’re not normal. So why are so many women left in the dark?

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Suzi Craig, a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, fertility specialist, and advocate for integrative women’s health. With a background in both traditional Chinese medicine and reproductive science, Dr Suzi offers a unique perspective on hormone balance, fertility, and long-term wellbeing.

🎙️ We discuss:
– What most people misunderstand about PCOS, menopause, and fertility
– The Chinese medicine view of cycles, energy, and hormonal shifts
– Why “normal” doesn’t always mean healthy when it comes to periods and symptoms
– The impact of stress, diet, and environment on your hormones
– Supporting IVF, endometriosis, or perimenopause with an integrative approach
– How acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes can help restore balance

Listener Questions

1. Is it normal for my period to change as I get older, even if I’m not near menopause?
2. How can I tell if my hormones are out of balance?
3. I’ve just come off the pill—what should I be doing to support my body?
4. Can acupuncture actually help with fertility?
5. What are some natural ways to reduce PMS and cramps?
6. I’m in my late 30s—what should I be doing now to prepare for a healthy menopause?
7. Do you have any tips for managing anxiety and poor sleep during perimenopause?
8. What’s one thing Dr Suzi wishes every woman knew about their cycle?
   
   

Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating menopause, or just want to understand your body better, this episode is packed with practical tools and empowering insights.

“Nobody ever asked me what happened. They only asked why.”

In this emotional clip from The True Form Podcast, Eating Disorder and Trauma-Informed Specialist Sammie Lee shares the moment her healing truly began — when someone finally asked the right question.

This conversation dives into:
– Why the question “what happened to you?” is more powerful than “what’s wrong with you?”
– How our medical and mental health systems often miss the mark
– The role of presence, compassion, and deep listening in trauma recovery

If you or someone you know is navigating disordered eating, trauma, or recovery, this is a must-watch moment.

Childhood mental health issues are rising — but what’s really going on beneath the surface?

“We’re pathologising kids before we’re listening to them.”

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Professor Kosmas Smyrnios — a former child and adolescent psychotherapist turned academic — to unpack what’s really happening with the rise in childhood mental health issues.

With over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, research, and education, Professor Smyrnios brings a rare dual lens: clinical depth and academic insight.

We explore:
– Why emotional distress in kids is often mislabelled as a disorder
– How modern systems are failing both children and parents
– What’s changed in diagnosis and treatment across generations
– Why safety, connection, and presence matter more than ever
– What parents, educators, and practitioners need to rethink

From community mental health centres to lecture halls, Professor Smyrnios has guided families, taught students, and mentored over 30 PhD candidates. His work connects therapy, entrepreneurship, and systems thinking, and this conversation might change the way you think about childhood altogether.

Thinking about switching to barefoot or minimalist shoes?
This clip from our chat with @bprimal_footwear breaks down how to transition safely — and why it’s not just about the shoes.

You’ll learn:
– Why most people are disconnected from their feet
– How your nervous system relies on foot input
– 3 simple foot exercises to build strength
– Why toe mobility is key for posture and pain
– Tips for finding the right transitional shoes
– How to listen to your feet and build gradually

👣 Your feet have a quarter of a million nerves in them — they literally tell your body how to move. If your shoes (or lack of strength) are blocking that feedback, you’ll feel it everywhere: hips, knees, posture, balance.

🎧 Full episode: Why Most Shoes Are Destroying Your Feet (and How to Fix It) — now live on The True Form Podcast.

“You can lose the weight, but still carry the pain.”

In this powerful episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Sammie Lee—a highly respected Eating Disorder and Trauma-Informed Specialist, author, coach, and speaker—whose mission is to dismantle stigma, shift societal narratives, and guide people back to their worth.

Sammie shares her raw and personal story—from childhood trauma and food addiction to extreme weight loss and the long road to healing. But more importantly, she reveals what recovery truly requires: deep inner work, nervous system safety, and reconnecting with the body, rather than another diet plan.

We explore:
– Why food was never the real problem
– The missing conversations in eating disorder treatment
– How hospitals and health systems often fail those who need help most
– The body’s role in healing trauma (and how it stores memory)
– How to empower yourself and your children to feel safe in their bodies
– Why core values matter, and how to find yours

This isn’t just an episode, it’s a transformative conversation. If you've ever struggled with shame, self-worth, or the pressure to “fix” your body, Sammie’s wisdom will shift how you see weight, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself.

Feeling lost, distracted, or pulled in every direction?
In this episode, Flabia shares why true purpose isn’t found through hustle or external validation—but through stillness.

We talk about the power of journaling, faith, and self-reflection, and why anchoring yourself in something deeper is the key to long-term fulfilment. This isn’t about finding one fixed destination—it’s about learning to listen beneath the noise.

What we cover:
– Why quiet time isn’t optional if you want clarity
– How to find your ‘why’ (and why it’s okay if it changes)
– What to do when your current path no longer feels aligned
– How creative work like barbering and makeup can carry deep purpose
– Letting go of external expectations to reconnect with yourself
