Before You Jump - Jase Stewart, Life Saver!

Anna Wood calls it down the middle

OMG I got to talk to a real life wrestling ref! And wow does she have a lifetime of stories to tell in and out of the ring! Such an interesting person to talk to, and someone who I think you will agree needs to come back and chat again. Everything we dive into could have been an episode on its own. Anna started her adult life studying for a career in film and television, and even had several years on screen before a broken neck put a holt to it. She moved to writing and producing, but after her production partner ... well you will hear. We cover lots in this including her own mental health journey, how she got into wrestling, and the dangers of head injuries and how it impacted former wrestlers All this and more If you want to check Anna out on Tic Tok you can here [https://www.tiktok.com/@lady_reffington] and Instagram here [https://www.instagram.com/lady_reffington_nz/] Nice, enjoy Dyls

Elaine is scarily optimistic

Note! We had a recording issue sadly during this episode where we had a SD Card fault. These things happen. Thankfully we only lost about 20 seconds of audio! Have put a little tone in when it happened, but thankfully we changed cards and hit go and finished the podcast! Elaine Reilly joined me for a very over due chat. Have wanted to get her on here for ever. Such a cool person to talk to with a lifetime of great experience and knowledge! One of those people you could easily chat to for ages. And got to hand it to her, she had a hard day, and still showed up to record! What a star! We talk about leaving Scotland for New Zealand, holding a psycology degree and what it has taught her, and the work she does for REAP Tararua, including bringing in New Zealand comedy and education guru John Carr! PLUS we debut the new and exciting quick fire round. If you want to know more about REAP and the awesome work they do, check them out! https://www.reapaotearoa.nz/ [https://www.reapaotearoa.nz/] And if you are in Tararua, you can get in learn more from Elaines awesome team here https://www.tararuareap.co.nz/ [https://www.tararuareap.co.nz/] They do amazing work for the rural community
