It’s raw, unfiltered, a bit chaotic — but packed with truth. Do better. Be better. Especially for your kids.

In true Ripple Effect style, we mix the heavy with the hilarious (and the insane).

This Real Talk episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast is one of the most raw and confronting conversations we’ve had. We talk openly about family court, broken systems, trauma bonds, manipulation, control, and the long-term damage caused when adults put ego ahead of children. This isn’t a polished story — it’s lived experience, told honestly, with all the frustration, emotion, humour, and reflection that comes with it. We unpack: What happens when systems fail families The impact of conflict on children Why telling the truth matters, even when it’s uncomfortable Trauma bonding, manipulation, and walking away to protect your sanity How people can still build successful lives while carrying heavy personal battles This episode isn’t about taking sides — it’s about shining a light on situations many people are living through quietly and don’t feel safe talking about.

In this short and hilarious episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, Marshall finally unloads one of his most talked-about work stories from his Telstra days — and it’s every bit as wild as you’d expect. From climbing massive communication towers with sketchy safety standards, to hauling cables around Mount Coot-tha and launching a Land Cruiser where it definitely shouldn’t have gone, this episode is pure old-school worksite chaos. It’s a classic story of questionable decisions, near misses, and the kind of workplace antics that somehow ended with everyone walking away laughing — and no paperwork in sight. No lessons. No motivation. Just a ridiculous true story, told properly. 🎧 The Ripple Effect Podcast — real stories, big laughs, zero filters.

This Real Talk episode lands right as the year wraps up — and while it’s tagged as a Christmas special, it’s not about tinsel, presents or pretending everything’s perfect.

There’s laughter, a bit of chaos, and the kind of real conversation that happens when you stop trying to impress and just say what’s actually going on. If you’re feeling flat, overloaded, reflective, or just need a reminder you’re not the only one carrying things quietly — this one will hit home. No filters. No fake positivity. Just real talk, the way it’s meant to be. 🎧 Healing through laughter — even at the end of a big year.

Marsh and Dave are firing on all cylinders. Marsh shares a story from his "unhealed" days on Tinder that you have to hear to believe—involving a late-night meetup, a semi-trailer truck, and a date who brought her 7-year-old son along for the ride (and a McDonald's run).

In Real Talk #23, we go from the absolute ridiculous to the heartbreakingly real. Marsh opens up about the darkest side of Parental Alienation: the "Dead Dad" lie. We discuss the reality of children being manipulated into grieving a parent who is still fighting to see them, and Marsh gives a raw update on his situation with MJ (pulled out of school and 8 weeks of no contact).

In this episode, Leah opens up about her latest fight at Fortitude Boxing, walking out with the crowd behind her, watching her brother go to war in the ring, and managing the intense mental and physical side of cutting weight. We dive into post-fight blowouts, emotional eating, and why the boxing ring is the one place where she feels truly calm and in control. The conversation winds through addiction, smoking, vapes, rebuilding identity, staying disciplined, and the importance of speaking openly in schools and communities. Of course, there’s plenty of banter — including Dave getting roasted over holidays, chocolate and the infamous “sore finger.” If you’re into boxing, personal growth, or just love a good laugh with real people, this episode is everything we love about having Princess Leah on the show.
