Without a doubt, Shelley Craft remains one of the most loved personalities on our TV screens - just as she has been for three decades. From Saturday Disney, to The Great Outdoors, Funniest Home Videos and the powerhouse that is The Block. 

How did she turn a work experience stint into a career?
How did she deal with being in the public eye, and the many ups and downs of the industry?
What are the practices and principles that keep her able to show up so authentically that we think we all know her?

What we hear from Shelley aren't the usual success secrets: Instead, it's all about how she relates to herself, the work, and those around her. And it applies just as much to our every day lives as it does to being on telly.

From ideas of belonging, to what's great in art, to funny feelings in the tummy and figuring out what they mean (eventually): this is why, for Osher, the Rocky Horror Picture Show was a real reva..... lation.
