Our bonus episode is here with the amazing Chelsea Pottenger who is a leading international motivational speaker and an authority on mindfulness and productivity. This episode comes with a trigger warning as the conversation covers suicidal ideation and postnatal depression. If you need support follow the links in our 'We Cover' section.

 Chels has just launched her first book
‘The Mindful High Performer’- which  you must all check out!. Chels was a busy and burnt-out entrepreneur who then suffered severe postnatal depression once she became a mum and ended up in a psych ward! That is when she put on the hand break and started researching the science behind meditation and mindfulness, while also coming up with tools to still be productive, but keeping mental health practices as a priority.  Chelsea is a proud ambassador for mental health charities R U OK? and Gidget Foundation Australia. As a result of her research, study and personal learnings, Chelsea created her company EQ Minds in 2016 with the goal of introducing high-performance mental fitness to the public and corporates. She is frequently hired by the likes of Uber, eBay, Google, Estee Lauder, The Australian Defence Force and more to inspire their teams with her science-based productivity and mindfulness methods.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
