Everyone has a story about how we were affected by the Covid Pandemic. In this episode, Osher speaks with broadcaster and DJ Linda Marigliano about being stuck in Australia, away from the man she fell in love with and not knowing if they’d ever make it.
This all happened while she grappled not only her own fertility journey, but working around a life-long tendency to be a people pleaser.
Linda’s has a new book “Love language”...
We generally avoid thinking about losing the things we love, but what if deliberately doing so made us love and appreciate those things even more?
In this episode, Osher explores the idea of “The Last Time” (*not the Farnham farewell tour).
With its roots in ancient Stoic practice, “The Last Time” only takes a few breaths to do yet can have a profound effect on the presence and meaning we feel in our day.
It even makes Osh...
This week, Osher lost two jobs in one day when news broke that The Bachelor Australia and The Masked Singer Australia aren’t being renewed by the network.
What’s hilarious is that it’s not the first time this has happened to him, and in today’s episode he talks about the work he did around this news going public to ensure a stable transition of not only income but also mental health.
If you’ve ever lost a job, or ...
Even if you don’t care about cars, you can’t deny the massive global success of Mighty Car Mods. With nearly 4M subscribers and over 1 Billion views on YouTube, Marty & Moog have been representing the culture of vehicle modification for over 16 years - and they’re only getting bigger.
You don’t care about cars? Then what if I told you that Moog’s actual name is Blair, and Blair is a prolifically talented multi-instrumentali...

Few things can wound a person as much as betrayal.
As your whole world comes crashing down around you, how can you hold onto reality? How do you move on with your life?
Tracy Hall is a high-powered single mum in the corporate world. She was left absolutely devastated by emotional and financial betrayal perpetrated by one of the world's most prolific con men, Hamish McLaren.
Tracy is now r...
Osher describes how yesterday he discovered an underlying freeze response which he didn’t realise was playing havoc with his life.
Join him for an exploration in to how if we’re not in “fight” or “flight” we can become immobile, literally frozen and unable to speak.
(He also manages to work the hunting habits of South African Killer Whales into this conversation, which was a nice surprise. You won’t believe their favourite snack).

After his chat with Jodi on Wednesday, Osher was reminded about his experience with a fascinating way to develop theory of mind: The Three Chairs Technique.
While it sounds like mental musical chairs, it’s actually quite powerful and super accessible.
Have you tried this one? What techniques do you use when you come across adversity?

Are you someone who is in a relationship with a person that has a different brain? A husband, your wife, one of your siblings, a parent - or even one of your kids.
Today Osher's guest is Jodi Rodgers.
Through her work on the fabulous TV series “Love on the spectrum”, Jodi turned the spotlight onto the humanity, longing for connection and need for intimacy in all of us by exploring what those things mean for neurodivergent people.

Burpees.
You hate them
I hate them
Why?
Because they are pretty much the best whole-body exercise you can do in a confined space.
If you had to pick on exercise to do for the rest of your life, bang-for-buck - it's probably the burpee.
But what about keeping your mind fit?
In this episode Osher offers up a technique to train the observing mind to get more involved, more often.
It's simple to learn, and can have profound imp...
How many people are in your village?
It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things.
Without that support or purpose, things can get ou...
In this open and honest episode, Osher talks through dealing with the horrific events of Saturday Afternoon.
Sometimes it's useful to hear how other people process things, and this episode features three powerful techniques he's using to keep the PTSD from flaring up again.

Today Osher reflects on what he learned from this week's conversation with Sylvia Jefferys.
In particular, two powerful lessons; learning from a job as another way to get value other than a pay packet, and helpful ways to think about the world when our newsfeeds are an avalanche of sadness and woe.

Today Osher speaks with Sylvia Jefferies, an incredibly accomplished journalist and presenter, originally from Brisbane Australia.
Sylvia has a matter-of-fact, get-after-it vibe about her which makes the career success she’s had make perfect sense.
Sylvia is very open about how she juggles family life and home life, also how she has found particularly interesting ways to deliberately work emotional regulation into her day so she’s ab...

Reflections on ego, fear, swinging for the fences, and how supporting your partner is an act of love.

Who is going to write the next Aussie Anthem if there's nobody making enough money to do it?
Osher reflects on his conversation with Angie McMahon and the recent news that half of Australian musicians earn less than 15% of the minimum wage.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has a lot in common with the way we get our news. In this conversation, Osher uses the way that we get our news and the algorithms which then reinforce those stories to draw out the relationship between facts, stories and our mental health.
