“Kyal & Kara” Demmrich became household names after the humble chippy & physio joined The Block back in early 2014 for their Fan Vs Favs series. And when that popular reality program was over, the courageous renovation-lovers decided to do it ALL again – this time on Reno Rumble in April 2015!

And now, with their own successful Design & Construction business, Diverse Design & Build, and tackling their own Renovation Series, Kyal and Kara are a near-perfect example of what it’s like to renovate, raise kids, run a business and not lose your mind in the process!

In fact folks, we’ve ‘gotta hand it to them – this couple is remarkably positive, healthy and staying ahead of the game!!

And guess what’s even more surprising? We actually interviewed them during “The Week They Never Want to Repeat!!”

So. What’s their secret?

And what Renovation Tips could the rest of us benefit from?! (Maybe BEFORE you “do a Ben” and challenge your sanity be renovating the family home!

270 | How To Recover When You’ve Lost Everything – Chat with NRL Star Matt Srama and Jaemin Frazer

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

“The aim of the game is to learn how to fill your own cup… to do the adult work.” – Jaemin Frazer

Matt Srama lost everything. But then he did something that would turn this loss into a profound learning experience. And his life has dramatically changed as a result.

The question for you is… have you ever wanted to change something in your life, but found yourself getting in your own way? Maybe you keep repeating the same bad habits that are interfering with the result you really want. Or maybe you’re shackled to the same story that’s been running your life for a very long time, keeping you stuck, perhaps without you even realising what’s happening!!

Well folks, today’s exclusive episode is all about how to become the hero in your own story and finally do the “adult work” you need in order to live the life you truly imagined for yourself & recover from ANY set back. And we have not one, but TWO very special guests in with a very candid interview to reveal the framework folks need to create LASTING positive change… and ditch any self-fulfilling prophecies, insecurities or setbacks that could be standing in the way of real success!

Joining us today are two “repeat offenders” on the Couch and names you might already recognise…. retired professional NRL rugby league player for the Gold Coast Titans, Matt Srama (Episode 254) AND one of Australia’s leading Life Coaches and Founder of The Insecurity Project  — and Bryce’s own personal development coach — Jaemin Frazer (Episode 179).

Here’s the deal… Matt’s ridden the cycle of being a professional athlete – the excitement of being drafted, the excitement of earning good money, the excitement of having a huge crowd cheering for him and his teammates… and then felt the complete reverse of this … the shattering disappointment of a promising career cut short due to injury. And so, ‘cos we’re a big fan of the frameworks Jaemin teaches about getting through insecurity, Bryce saw an opportunity to chat to them both today and get a unique perspective that we don’t hear about too often…
