In this episode, I sit down with Tez, a Vietnamese-Australian optometrist, eldest daughter of immigrant parents, and someone who has rebuilt her life more than once.
We talk about what it really feels like to “start again” in your 30s, not from a place of failure, but from a deep knowing that the life you were living was no longer true to who you are.
Tez shares the story of ending her engagement, navigating cultural and family expectations, building a business from scratch, and ultimately choosing to let it all go when it no longer aligned. We explore what happens when self-trust breaks, how to rebuild it slowly, and how to recognise the difference between staying because you’re scared to leave… or leaving because you’re finally ready to choose yourself.
This is a conversation about the quiet turning points.The ones no one applauds.The ones that change everything.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “supposed” to have it all figured out by now or that you’ve built a life that looks right from the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside, this one will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, Jon Sabes returns to explore what it really means to play the long game in life. Longevity doesn’t happen by accident; it’s something you build through small, intentional habits practised consistently over time.

We talk about strength training, purpose, community, and why the older version of you is shaped by the routines you live today. We also explore why time feels like it accelerates as we age, what it means to create an environment that supports health, and how to maintain your vitality later in life.

This is a conversation about living well now so that your future self can live well later.

In this episode:
• The perception of time and aging
• Strength and muscle as the foundation of longevity
• Why purpose keeps people alive
• Alcohol and its long-term impact on the body and mind
• Lifestyle architecture: how your environment shapes your habits
• The importance of friendship and community as you grow older

What if your feet don’t need more support, they just need to be stronger?

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, Jack sits down with Helen Halkias, a podiatrist with over 28 years of experience who made the bold shift from traditional orthotics to a functional, holistic approach to foot health.

Helen shares how chronic pain, recurring injuries, and over-reliance on orthotics inspired her to rethink everything she’d been taught. She now helps clients rebuild strength, awareness, and resilience from the ground up, literally.

You’ll learn:

Why traditional orthotics often mask, rather than fix, the real problem

The truth about pronation, foot alignment, and “flat feet”

How to safely transition to barefoot or minimalist shoes

Practical steps to strengthen your feet and improve balance

Why feeling the ground might just save your mobility as you age

This episode is about more than shoes; it’s about reconnecting with your body, building awareness, and trusting your natural design.

We often think our goals are our own, until we realise they’re not.

In this clip, Vahid Coskun breaks down why chasing a goal like weight loss or strength often fails when the “why” behind it comes from someone else. Whether it's a partner, a parent, or society, if your reason is outsourced, your commitment won’t last.

Real change starts when your goals are aligned with your identity, not someone else’s expectations.

This moment will challenge how you think about motivation, self-worth, and why you haven’t stuck with that plan (yet).
