Bec “Rowdy” Rawlings (nee Rodriguez) is a bare knuckle fighting world champion; a former MMA and UFC star; and she’s an absolute warrior.
We were so honoured that Rowdy chose to sit with us and bravely share her story. To say she survived domestic violence downplays the violence, the terror and the horror she experienced. Here, she opens up about her life both inside and outside the ring, shedding light on the often overlooked intersection of athleticism and personal struggle.
Hear firsthand how she overcame adversity, found her strength, and became an inspiring and courageous advocate for survivors everywhere.

Alexa Leary's story is one of pure survival.
She cheated death in an horrific cycling injury which left her with a traumatic brain injury and almost a zero chance of survival.
Two-years later, she looks set to represent Australia at the Paralympics in Paris!
The fighting spirit inside of this 20-year-old Queenslander is extraordinary and one that has to be heard to be believed.

Australia fell in love with Reggie Bird when she took out the 3rd season of Big Brother back in 2003 (and again in 2022).
The fish and chip shop owner from Tassie, soon after winning the first time around, revealed that she'd been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa – a rare degenerative eye disease that will eventually send her completely blind.
Then, shortly after winning the second time around, she was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, which will also most likely make her completely deaf.
In this chat, she discusses her early life dealing with a mother that battled severe mental illness, life in the spotlight, realty tv and how she needs to find a job!

On the eve of the 11th anniversary of the royal prank call that made international headlines, Mel Greig has decided it’s time to own her story.
In a sit-down chat with the Christo and Dion, Mel opens up in a way she never has before about that infamous radio moment that changed a number of lives forever.
At the time, it made her one of the most-hated people on the planet. Soon, Mel internalised that energy into her own spiral of self-hatred, and many difficult years followed.BROWN PARK LINKS:
