18/12/2023

And that’s a wrap for 2023! Hear the latest season finale episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts from now.

What a debut season; 2 hosts, 7 guests, 11 episodes and 492 minutes of Talkin Tough!

This wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible guests; Tim Watt, Joel Sardi, Mick Donehue, Josh Robson, Tiff Cooke, Stuart Foy & John Tully. Their vulnerability and willingness to do the tough talkin with us was an honour.

The five star production is all thanks to the From Your Pocket Team. Couldn’t have pulled off this project with even a quarter of the quality without their expertise!

A huge thanks must also go to Ski For Life, the Australian charity dedicated to promoting mental health, wellbeing and su***de prevention and who of course are the reason Talkin Tough came to life in the first place.

But most of all, thanks to all the Talkin Tough listeners and viewers. The love and support shown for this podcast puts a fire in our belly to bring Talkin Tough back to you in 2024 so follow, like and subscribe to be the first to know when we’re back behind the mics next year 💪🏻

NOTE: This video & podcast discusses sexual assault. If it's not for you, thats okay. Look after yourself.

In this episode we sit down and chat with the vision of tough, Tiff Cooke. I mean, just look at those guns! But above all, Tiff knows that being tough is actually being vulnerable rather than building up walls and holding it all in.

R U OK?

Did you know…

When surveyed, 4 in 5 people who engaged in a meaningful conversation felt better about managing their situation having talked it through and felt supported, heard, and safe during the conversation.

The research also found that when asked if they were OK, two in five people who said they were OK actually were not OK.

These respondents indicated that three things needed to be present in order to have an open & honest conversation...

Trust - they need to know the person they speak to is someone they trust, and, for many, someone they are close to.

Authenticity - they want to know the person asking them genuinely wants to hear answer

Environment - people would prefer to have these conversations in a relatively private space with enough time to share what they want to say.

And to do your best at cracking through the often tough exteriors of others, don’t be afraid to add a “really” to your question by asking “R U REALLY OK?”

“If you’re feeling blue, touch green” is a saying Ben lives by to get on top of the inevitable “blue” days that we all experience to different degrees. Does touching green when you feel blue work for you too?

Tune in to episode 3 of Talkin Tough to hear about the tougher days Ben has and the things he does to get through them. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts from.

ID: two text based images:
1. A navy background with white text that reads If you’re feeling blue
2. A deep green background white white text that reads touch green.
Both images also say Ben Pettingill - Episode 003

Double Episode Drop!!!

To kick off, Mike and Ben take it in turns to relive the biggest challenges of their lives, the bumps and bruises along the way and what helped them come out the other side. For Mike it was a deadly disease resulting in the loss of his legs and for Ben it was a headache one day and the next, 98% of his eyesight gone forever. A couple of down to earth blokes who have had to find ways to deal with the tough stuff life has thrown their way.

So jump on over to Apple Podcasts and have a listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/talkin-tough/id1701915866

Or listen on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/2NnGtuJznFJKZvy2Wiy7xg?si=lFTCnPsxTPCwTIdIoyTs2Q

Or tune in wherever you get your favourite podcasts.
