The Resource
From Mining Sites to Mic Drops: Becky's Back.
Becky launched The Resource Podcast during the FIFO Inquiry to spark real talk about culture, mental health, and the hard stuff no one wants to touch. Think truth bombs, tough convos, and healing with humour.
Now she's back, flipping the script again. After 40 episodes and 15,000 mining crew later, the podcast is diving deeper into money stress, mindset shifts, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Expect raw chats, zero fluff, and life-saving honesty. If you've ever felt stuck, broke, or burnt out, this one's for you.
The hope is that listeners feel so supported, informed, and confident about these topics that you start and continue better conversations that create lasting change. This is a place that is made and supported by the people, for the people. A team effort where we unite to make a lasting change.
If you need to speak to someone Lifeline 13 11 14.

Rodney Bridge, 16-year-old son, Preston died in 2013 after taking a synthetic form of LSD purchased over the dark web by a friend.
Rodney Bridge, Founder Sideffect and anti-synthetic drugs campaigner
His 16-year-old son, Preston died in 2013 after taking a synthetic form of LSD purchased over the dark web by a friend.
Told by authorities that investigating the drug organisation was futile, he tracked down the company that made the drug himself and travelled to China, secretly filming a meeting with the drug’s distributors.
Rodney took the evidence to the Australian Federal Police. Later, he enlisted Nine’s current affairs program 60 Minutes to film another meeting in China using hidden cameras. That vision was seen by 1.2 billion people worldwide.
Rodney’s investigation resulted in a crackdown in China and the restriction of manufacturing, trade and sale of 116 synthetic drugs. Twenty-one thousand Chinese nationals were arrested, 1,500 factories were closed and 248 websites were shut down.
Rodney’s tragedy became his life’s mission. He founded Sideffect Australia, a not-for-profit that builds awareness about substance use and teaches young people to make informed decisions.
