  Healing Starts in the Body, Not the Mind | With Lia Young

  Aug 2, 20261h 5mS4

  If you’ve ever understood why you’re hurting but still felt disconnected from your body... this episode asks whether insight alone is enough. Paris sits down with Lia Young, founder of Devotion in Motion Wellness, to talk about kinesiology, grief, relationship breakdown, addiction and what it takes to reconnect with yourself after being told your emotions are too much.

  When Control Over Food Starts Controlling You  | with Kate Purcell

  Jun 21, 20261h 22mS4

  What happens when your mind takes control of your body? In this episode, Paris sits down with Kate Purcell , author, speaker, and lived experience advocate, to talk about living with anorexia and schizoaffective disorder, surviving psychosis in her twenties, and what thirteen-plus years of ongoing recovery has actually taught her. Kate brings both raw honesty and hard-won wisdom to a conversation that doesn't shy away from how hard recovery really is, or how possible it still is. Together they get into what eating disorders are actually about (it's not food), and the power of separating your identity from the illness. What you'll hear in this episode: Why eating disorders were never really about food How separating your identity from your illness can change everything What psychosis felt like from the inside, and why Kate still finds it hard to put into words Why humour became one of Kate's most important recovery tools What it means to be "on the journey" with someone rather than fixed and finished Kate's books and the self-help tools she's built for others navigating recovery If you've ever felt like an illness was driving and you were just along for the ride, this one's for you. About Kate Purcell Kate Purcell is a Perth-based author, speaker, and lived experience advocate who has spent over a decade working in mental health services. She is the author of two books exploring her own recovery journey and offering practical tools for others navigating eating disorders and severe mental illness. Kate now works as a private peer support practitioner and recovery coach.

  A Mother’s Story of Losing Her Son to Overdose | with Margaret Martin

  Jun 14, 20261h 16mS4

  If you’ve ever lost someone to overdose, or loved someone who kept chasing a feeling that scared you, you know grief does not arrive neatly. In this episode, Paris sits down with Margaret Martin, a Western Australia-based social worker and counsellor, to talk about losing her son Ethan to an MDMA overdose at 25. But this is not just a conversation about how Ethan died. It is about who Ethan was. A cheeky, philosophical, risk-taking young man. A chef. A head chef far too young. A father to two little girls. A son whose life was bigger than the worst day of it. Margaret speaks about the police knock, the shock, the move to Geraldton days later, and the strange protection of being somewhere no one knew her story yet. She also talks about drugs, harm reduction, undiagnosed ADHD, the hospitality industry, parental guilt, the coroner’s process, and the kind of grief people often pull away from because they do not know what to say. What you’ll hear in this episode: • What Ethan was like before overdose became the headline • The moment Margaret found out her son had died • Why “addicted to the feeling” can change how we understand substance use • The grief spiral of “should have, could have, would have” • Why Margaret supports drug testing at festivals and clubs • What happens when overdose grief becomes socially uncomfortable • How My Condolences helps people support someone who is grieving If you’ve ever loved someone through addiction, feared that knock at the door, or felt abandoned after a loss people did not know how to talk about, this one’s for you. About Margaret Martin Margaret Martin is a Western Australia-based social worker and counsellor. After losing her son Ethan to an MDMA overdose at 25, Margaret began creating spaces for grief conversations that are honest, practical and less terrifying to have. Through My Condolences, she offers live workshops and one-on-one grief support sessions for people who are grieving or supporting someone through loss. She is also working on projects around parental estrangement and an upcoming podcast titled Unspeakable.

  The Hidden Crisis in Men's Lives | With John Rich

  Jun 7, 20261h 12mS4

  If you’ve ever wondered why so many men stay silent until everything is already falling apart... this conversation is for you. In this episode, Paris sits down with John Rich , Chairperson of Men’s Health and Wellbeing WA , to talk about men’s mental health, suicide risk, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, connection, and the quiet pressure so many men carry. John Rich has spent years working across addiction, domestic violence, prison re-entry, counselling, men’s groups, family mental health, Aboriginal emotional wellbeing, and community support. Before that, he spent 30 years in engineering and large scale industry. That shift gave him a rare view into the world so many men are trained to survive in. One where you provide, compete, earn, stay strong, and keep the emotional stuff hidden. This is not a conversation about telling men to “just open up.” It is about why so many men were never taught the language for what they feel in the first place. What you’ll hear in this episode: Why men often do not ask for help until they are already in crisis The “guy code” that teaches boys to stay strong, useful, competitive, and quiet How relationship breakdown can become a major risk point for men Why work can become a hiding place How men’s sheds, peer support, and lived experience create safer ways to connect Why shame does not stop violence How the HALT check in can help someone pause before things spiral If you’ve ever loved a man who shuts down, disappears into work, or says “I’m fine” when he clearly isn’t... this one’s for you. About John Rich John Rich is Chairperson of Men’s Health and Wellbeing WA, a peak body advocating for the health and wellbeing of men and boys across Western Australia. His background includes counselling and group work in alcohol and other drugs, domestic violence work with survivors and perpetrators, family mental health, Aboriginal emotional wellbeing, prison re-entry, parenting men’s groups, and community support. John’s work focuses on connection, practical support, relationship skills, and helping men access support before they reach crisis point.

  PTSD in the workplace, and the Sh*t Employers Get Wrong | with Lisa Irving

  May 31, 20261h 3mS4

  Ever been told trauma just takes time to heal? What if time alone was never enough? In this episode, Paris sits down with Lisa Irving , clinical psychologist, founder of Revive Health and Happiness in East Perth, and the brain behind Virtuosa, an AI report writing tool built specifically for Australian psychologists. Lisa has spent years working with frontline workers navigating workplace PTSD; prison officers, nurses, teachers, paramedics, firefighters, police, and the employers who too often make things worse. Paris also shares her own complex PTSD diagnosis for the first time on the podcast; what it actually feels like when your body reacts before your mind even registers what's happening, and why she spent years doing drugs and drinking rather than facing what was underneath. This one goes deep into the science, the system, and what actually helps. What you'll hear in this episode: What PTSD actually is and why it's not just something war veterans get How workplace PTSD shows up across frontline roles: prison officers, nurses, teachers, firefighters, support workers, paramedics, police The one thing employers do that isolates injured workers most, and it's not what you think Why "time heals all wounds" is complete rubbish when it comes to PTSD What EMDR actually is, how it works, and why Lisa calls it the closest thing to magic The flash technique; a gentler alternative for people who find EMDR too intense Trauma logic; why your brain applies past danger to present moments that feel similar Why Lisa prefers the word "reminder" over "trigger" — and why that shift changes everything Paris's own complex PTSD, what it feels like when your body reacts before your mind catches up Meet Millie, Lisa's therapy dog and the real star of the episode If you've ever felt your body go into panic before you even understood why, this one will finally give you the language for it. About Lisa Irving Lisa Irving is a Perth-based clinical psychologist and founder of Revive Health and Happiness in East Perth, specialising in PTSD and workers compensation trauma claims. She has built practical online PTSD training courses for employers and injury management professionals, and is the founder of Virtuosa , an AI report writing assistant helping Australian psychologists produce complex reports in a fraction of the time.
