‘The Girl Who Chose to Be Tasered:’ An interesting chat with anxiety coach Kim Adams.
Don‘t Give A FiftyShow Notes
In episode #91, Mel and Trish chat to anxiety coach Kim Adams about high functioning anxiety, extroverts, and introverts and why she believes finding your passion and purpose is over-rated. Kim spent 20 years working in law enforcement organisations and absolutely loved her job managing research and evaluation programs. She felt valued and a sense of belonging. When her job disappeared due to an organisational restructure, this outwardly confident, inwardly anxious girl found her world came crashing down. It led to a critical re-examining of who she was, what she was doing and where she was headed. Armed with a degree in psychology and a masters in management, Kim set herself on a path of spirituality and healing and is now focused on helping midlife women with high-functioning anxiety cultivate radical self-acceptance, release self-limiting beliefs and anxiety using a blend of psychology and grounded spirituality.
It’s not all serious though – Kim has a few fun facts up her sleeve including that one time, she volunteered to be tasered & a few adventures in Cuba. Enjoy the clarity and fascinating perspective of Kim Adams.

More from Don‘t Give A Fifty
In RERUN episode #103, Mel and Trish were excited to sit down with life coach Susie Pettit to discuss people pleasing and co-dependency - what it is, how it shows up in midlife and how to deal with it. The more the girls chatted with Susie, the more ah-ha moments there were as they identified what was happening in their own lives. But the good stuff doesn’t end there. The chat then moved onto boundaries or guidelines as Susie calls them. What are they, how to deal with push-back and how are we getting them so wrong?
In DGAF RERUN episode #102 Mel and Trish jumped online with Tina Nettlefold, founder and creator of T.House, an online platform that sells a philanthropic range of unique, limited-edition homewares. Tina lives by the mantra ‘live big, love big,’ which for her means to do as much as you can and give as much as you can.
In DGAF RERUN episode #101, Mel and Trish were thrilled to chat with Melbourne’s most experienced personal stylist and wardrobe consultant, Sally Mackinnon. Sally’s very personable nature and undeniable knowledge were clearly evident in this super charged chat about the many facets of personal style & how it impacts us as 50ishers. The girls tackle the hot topic of body shapes, address budgets, and the important role stylists can play in the ultra-busy lives of the modern woman. Believe it or not, stylists actually save us money! As Sally says, “clothing is powerful, not frivolous.”
This RERUN was from episode #77 and in this episode Mel and Trish sit down with their long-term friend Lisa Curry to chat about, among other things, life, business, and hormones. Although Lisa is well known for her sporting achievements, television appearances and involvement on the speaking circuit, many don’t realise she is also a successful businesswoman.
Following on from an early episode in the ‘Don’t Give a Fifty’ back catalogue, episode #98 saw Mel & Trish in the studio with Trish’s nieces Matilda, Baillie and Mollie and her children, Lily and Wiley for a fun, educational chat about talking to our younger generations.
